As the own professional development, with an extra bonus of building long-lasting relationships.
As clients are seeking more robust, trusted advisors, it’s become critical for agencies to develop a network of brokers with unique, specialized core competencies and proven ethi- cal standards. “Often you only have one opportunity to make a good im- pression, so I ensure my deck is stacked,” said Amy Broad- hurst, SIOR, vice president, CBRE in Pittsburgh. “That’s why I joined a leading CRE membership organization like SIOR [the Society of Industrial and office Realtors], to ensure my global network includes the
best and brightest. You want fellow trusted advisors to work tirelessly with you to provide deep knowledge of the market and economy along with valu- able insights into CRE trends.” Having a global network of industry leaders who are held to the highest standard ensures expertise, prestige and trust. “Being able to tell a client that I have a team of peers in markets all around the world helps me to seal the deal” said Matthew Laraway, SIOR, executive vice president with Chesapeake Real Estate

It levels the playing field against other competi- tors in the marketplace. It’s about having accountability and partners you know will be consistent, trustworthy, and will execute at a high-level regardless of which market you are working in.” SIOR and SIOR Foundation focus on increasing minority participation in CRE WASHINGTON, DC — The Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) and the SIOR Foundation, are thrilled to sponsor the 2019 NEXUS Summer Program.
