Putting Our Real Estate Relationships to Work for You

When Marcus & Associates expanded its relationship building model into the real estate market, first by filling retained Controller and CFO positions but then by solving all its clients’ executive staffing needs: Development, Acquisitions, Asset Management, Underwriting, etc., it quickly became apparent that our clients appreciated a key factor to our success: We know their business! Not just their business model and that of their competitors, but we know the players and have longstanding relationships with them so that we can network most efficiently and discretely and develop the trust and buy-in to identify and partner with the most coveted candidates in this ultra-competitive market.

Jacob Lefkowitz, Real Estate Sector Leader for Marcus & Associates, with help from his team has demonstrated his ability to do just that. With relationships and networks that extend beyond his years in the business, he has filled some of our clients’ most difficult searches and offered up staffing solutions to some of the most discerning clients.
