I have always considered Cushman & Wakefield to be a world class company with exceptional talent, culture and a full-service platform. We are also impressed by the firm’s level of detail and analysis as it pertains to appraisal. I am glad to be rejoining the firm at this point of my career along with my amazing team. This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us, and we look forward to working with all of our new colleagues, and our future growth as professionals.”
