The company has also increased training opportunities for its brokers, including collaborative “lunch and learn” meetings for the entire brokerage team and bi-weekly trainings and information sessions for junior brokers led by seasoned division leads covering a full-range of topics.
Looking ahead, the firm plans to strengthen its core divisions of industrial and retail, enhance its coverage of the office market and explore an expansion into multifamily in 2017.
“Our company has grown significantly since I joined nearly a year ago. I am proud to say that because of the hard work and dedication of our team, this has been a banner year for the firm,” said Sarah Jones-Maturo, president of RM Friedland. “We will continue to strive to offer best-in-class training to our brokers and look forward to leveraging the data our research team presents in order to best serve our clients across the Tri-State area.”
