Brett Owens started yesterday as a senior vice president after a career-building stint at Dallas-based Henry S. Miller Commercial. "It's hard to leave my close friends at Henry S. Miller," Owens, with eight years' experience, says in a press release. Henry S. Miller Commercial was unavailable by deadline to comment on Owens' exit. He had risen to the senior vice president's level during his tenure with the firm.
Owens will join a team headed by Sharon Morrison and Brant Landry, who recently left Jones Lang LaSalle and bringing Bill de la Chapelle and Emily Candee with them. "Our industrial team is now one of the strongest in the DFW marketplace with the addition of Brett Owens," says Jack Eimer, president of Transwestern's Central region.
Eimer tells GlobeSt.com that he's been talking on and off with Owens about one year. "You really have to spend a lot of time. The quality people we focus on really aren't looking to leave," he adds.
Eimer, like other brokerage house leaders, have taken advantage of the slower market to beef up ranks with senior brokers and rising stars, positioning their teams for the market's overall recovery. He says Owens' hiring basically filled one of the last personnel gaps for Transwestern Dallas. "That really covers all the bases for us from a service line," Eimer says. "Now, it is taking advantage of an environment that, I think, will be very opportunistic."
