Hunsaker joined Grubb & Ellis two years ago as executive vice president of business development. He was previously senior managing director with CB Richard Ellis in Atlanta, where he worked for 10 years.

"Grubb & Ellis has significantly enhanced its platform to better support its individual offices and brokers, making this an exciting time to take on a market leader role," Hunsaker says. He cites one of his initial goals as increasing the company's visibility and market share.

"Brett is undoubtedly one of the most respected commercial real estate professionals in the Atlanta area," adds Jack Van Berkel, COO and president of Grubb & Ellis Real Estate Services. "His deep relationships within the Atlanta commercial real estate community, incredible track record and proven ability to lead will greatly support our continued success in this market."

Hunsaker, who recently turned 50, is immediate past president of the Atlanta Commercial Board of Realtors and is a founding member of the Real Estate Group of Atlanta. He has a bachelor's degree from California State University.
