LOS ANGELES-Hendricks & Partners tells GlobeSt.com that it has hired Adrienne Barr as senior vice president in the firm’s West Los Angeles division. Barr will help support the firm’s ongoing expansion in the Greater Los Angeles market.

Since 2001, Barr has handled approximately 150 multifamily properties, including apartment communities, condominium conversions / reversions, and development sites, with a combined total value in excess of $1.25 billion. From the inception of her brokerage career, she has focused exclusively on multifamily sales, spanning across Los Angeles from the Westside to downtown and the Greater San Fernando Valley.

Barr is also a Westwood Village native and has an in-depth knowledge of the Los Angeles market, according to Hendricks & Partners. Barr was previously with CBRE Group, where she earned the title “Rookie of the Year” during her first year as a commissioned broker.

Before embarking upon her brokerage career, Barr was a transactional attorney at the law firm of Alschuler, Grossman Stein & Kahan LLP, where her focus was on “start-up” corporate organization.

Barr predicts that 2012 will be the best year that the multifamily market in the greater L.A. area has seen in a long time. According to Barr, increased trade volume, along with the support of solid fundamentals, such as strong rent growth, positive net absorption, and a shortage of multi-housing product available in the market, L.A. investors are realizing that it is a great time to invest in L.A. apartments.
