MIAMI-CB Richard Ellis has named Mary Jo Eaton senior managing director and market leader for its business lines in Florida. Eaton previously served as managing director of the company’s Baltimore office and its Asset Services operations in the Washington-Baltimore region.

Eaton will relocate to Miami and take the Florida helm on Jan. 1, 2011. She was named Asset Services Market Leader of the Year in 2009, recognition for driving growth and sustaining profitability in a down market. Eaton has overseen some of CBRE’s largest property management portfolios nationally, totaling 50 million square feet.

"Mary Jo has been a valuable contributor to our success in the Washington area," says John Germano, CB Richard Ellis’ senior managing director for the Washington-Baltimore Region. “She is an inspirational leader, prudent businessperson and strong manager, and these attributes will serve her well in her new role in Florida.”
