What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? Transwestern is one of the largest privately-held, full-service real estate firms in the country. The firm recently completed a strategic expansion into NYC through the creation of the firm's Northeast region led by my partner, Patrick Robinson, and me. We are actively recruiting and hiring to build a world-class team of professionals to lead us in tenant advisory, landlord leasing, property management and investment sales services, as well as building acquisitions.
