Alliance Commercial Real Estate Services
LLC, a Reno-based brokerage company, has
become affiliated with a NAI Global, a
national network of independent commercial
real estate companies.
The Reno company will change its name
to Alliance/NAI.
Scott Shanks, a vice president of the firm,
said Alliance Commercial talked with several
national real estate network before settling
on an affiliation with NAI.
"Its platform offers the best fit for our
company," he said."It allows us to remain
completely independent and internally governed,
but gives us a globally recognized
brand that will give us expanded credibility
with corporate clients."
Alliance, which has 36 brokers and support
personnel working in the office, retail,
industrial, and property management sectors,
has worked as an independent office
since its formation two years ago.
Shanks said Alliance also was looking for
the support services available from a large
network that can't be developed by a standalone
company.
NAI Global, which is based at Princeton,
N.J., has developed a network of 350 commercial
real estate offices in 45 countries
since it was founded as New American
Network Inc. in 1978. (The current name
NAI refers to "New American
International.")
In 2006, the NAI network handled more
than $40 billion in transactions.
