Top Broker Shifts from C&W to Colliers

SEATTLE-Reynolds Haas, one of the leading institutional commercial real estate brokers in town has shifted houses this week after 11 years, moving from Cushman & Wakefield, where he was senior director of the Financial Services Group, to Colliers International, where he is a senior vice president in charge of office, industrial and retail investment sales.

Haas, whose focus is selling properties for institutional owners, was recruited by Colliers’ Seattle executive managing director Rob Aigner, with whom Haas has a longstanding relationship. Prior to Cushman & Wakefield, Haas was a senior vice president at CB Commercial, where he and Aigner worked closely together 18 years.

While his friendship with Aigner was a motivating factor, Haas tells GlobeSt.com he made the move because he believes the Colliers system will help him generate additional business that he otherwise would not see. “(Aigner) has offered me a platform that will benefit my style of business,” he says. “The upside for me is a very productive work environment.”
