Ed Ginn of Equity Retail Brokers, Conshohocken, PA, has organized the Capital Markets Real Estate Network

CONSHOHOCKEN, PA—Equity Retail Brokers in Conshohocken, PA has formed the Capital Markets Real Estate Network with four Pennsylvania firms and one in California, to serve investor clients nationwide in all the commercial real estate industry verticals including office, industrial, retail, multifamily, self-storage and others.

Edward Ginn, a principal with Equity, organized the network, which also includes Chad Stine and Brad Rohrbaugh of Bennett Williams Commercial, York and Lancaster, PA, a full service commercial brokerage focusing on triple-net lease multi-tenant retail sales; Colin A. Flynn of The Flynn Company, Philadelphia, PA, a full service commercial brokerage with office/industrial specialists; Gerard O'Malley and Tim McGinleyof Duquesne Commercial Funding, Philadelphia, PA, a mortgage brokerage; and Matthew May of May Realty Advisors, Los Angeles, CA, also triple-net lease multi-tenant retail sales specialists.

“Even as we were forming the CMRE Network, referrals were already being generated. Thanks to Ed Ginn we closed a 10-year fixed, non-recourse $12 million loan with Starwood Mortgage in the beginning of June,” says Gerard O'Malley of Duquesne. “Additionally, since working with the other firms we have done a much better job serving our NNN and 1031 borrowers.”

Ginn says he's been working on the network for several years and his partners believe the network will allow them to win business in the institutional and non-institutional sectors of commercial property investing, 1031 exchanges and financing.

“We're brokers of knowledge and access. We provide access to transactions and buyers and the knowledge upon which to execute investment decisions,” says Matthew May. “Being part of a national network gives us access to information we would not have as standalone businesses.”

The new network plans to identify and recruit broker/members in dozens of primary, secondary and tertiary markets nationwide in the next few years.

Ginn has been and remains an active participant in the Retail Brokers Network, a national network with over 60 offices dedicated to all the segments of the retail brokerage business. He has previously served as President, Northeast Executive Committee Member, Board of Directors, Treasurer and Investment Sales Council Leader.

“Our company serves downtown and suburban Philadelphia, Southern New Jersey, Delaware, and Northern Maryland,” says Colin Flynn. “Joining the Capital Markets Real Estate Network provides us with a better opportunity to refer business with other regional/independent companies on a national level, which will only help grow our own business."

Bennett Williams Commercial specializes in the Central Pennsylvania area which includes all market points between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. We believe that in today's world of investment sales services we have a greater ability to win more business by being part of something larger than ourselves,” says Chad Stine. “Our proximity to many major metro markets -- New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, also favors participation in the capital markets network. Our markets have a track record of success with retailers from a local, regional, and national level, which provides a stable asset for any investor.”
