Gibbs becomes a senior vice president at Staubach, the same title he held at CB Richard Ellis. He says he made the switch because he feels Staubach's mission goals are a closer fit with his own.

"For 16 years, I have focused solely on the needs of professional and corporate end-users," the broker says in a prepared statement. "This is Staubach's primary focus, which makes our combination such a natural fit."

Gibbs earned an MBA in real estate and began his career at Landauer Associates where he completed development feasibility studies and commercial valuations for office and mixed-use projects. He holds a Commercial Real Estate Institute (CCIM) and has served in executive positions with the Atlanta Commercial Board of Realtors, the Georgia Institute of Realtors and Real Estate Group of Atlanta.
