MIAMI—In a move to be ready when the South Florida office market fully recovers, CBRE just hired four new leasing professionals. Led by managing director Ken Krasnow, the new quartet of brokers is poised to hit the ground running.

Maggie Guajardo Kurtz and Diana Parker came on board from Cushman & Wakefield to handle office landlord and tenant representation in Miami-Dade County. Michael Wilson and Owen Sagar, based in the Boca Raton office, came over from Grubb & Ellis and will focus on servicing office property owners and occupiers in the Palm Beach County market.

“These new hires are not coming on board to handle a specific assignment,” Krasnow tells GlobeSt.com. “We feel there’s a clear opportunity for us to grow, specifically our office agency practice in Miami-Dade. We expected a sustained growth cycle in office leasing activity for the next several years—and we’re investing in that growth now.”
