SEATTLE-Colliers International has added 14 veteran brokers to its San Jose, Redwood City and Sacramento offices. All but one of the new hires are joining the firm from Grubb & Ellis, which is being purchased by BGC Partners Inc. after Grubb & Ellis filed for bankruptcy protection.
“We filled important niches, added experience as well as youth to our ranks, and most importantly, we added some fine individuals who fit our culture like a glove,” says Jeff Fredericks, managing partner of Colliers’ downtown San Jose office.
The San Jose office has added four agents including investment-sales specialist Mark Bruening, his associate Drew Brown, industrial/R&D leasing and sales professional John Serex and financial-services and asset-management consultant Howard Berry—all formerly with Grubb & Ellis. “I am very excited to join a professional team with an extensive amount of talent, expertise and tools for their brokers and clients,” says Serex. “Colliers International is a first-class organization that provides a great atmosphere to succeed for everyone that works here.”
