Newmark has entered into a partnership with Smith Mack, bringing the latter’s four-office, 55-person operation under Newmark’s global umbrella. The Philadelphia-based firm will operate as Newmark Smith Mack.
“We have worked together for years, and this is a natural extension of our long-time relationship,” said Barry Gosin, chief executive officer of Newmark. “We have a very high regard for their professionalism and we will be able to leverage their knowledge of the market and their relationships.”
“Regional firms such as ours realize that in order to accommodate our larger global clients, it is important to be part of a global platform that provides additional infrastructure and support,” said Reid Blynn, managing partner of Smith Mack and a significant member of the Greater Philadelphia commercial brokerage community for over twenty-five years. “As one of the leading real estate services firms in the world, Newmark’s global expertise in brokerage, property and facilities management, project management, consulting, financing and investment sales is a perfect fit for our firm.”
“We will be able to leverage their vast resources,” said partner and co-founder Sidney V. Smith, Jr., a veteran of nearly three decades in the Philadelphia area commercial real estate market. “We are very excited to join Newmark.”
