Tuesday, March 23, 2010

CHICAGO, IL (March 23, 2010) — Stan Johnson Company, one of the nation’s leading real estate brokerage and advisory firms specializing in net-lease investment sales, announced today that it has opened a new regional office in Chicago, Illinois, located at 111 East Wacker Drive.  In connection with the new office opening, Stan Johnson Company announced that two top performing Chicago real estate professionals—Brandon Duff and Brad Feller—have joined the company.

Duff, formerly with Marcus & Millichap’s Chicago Downtown office, will serve as lead broker and Associate Director. Duff’s team has consistently been one of the top net-lease brokers in the Midwest and his clients include some of the most prominent developers, institutions and private investors in the industry. Feller, previously with IBT Group LLC of Chicago, will work with Duff as an Associate. 

“I’m very excited about the Stan Johnson Company platform,” said Duff. “In today’s economic climate, a broker must be highly proactive and part of a national coordinated team approach—something this firm provides and something I believe is of the utmost importance in delivering the highest value to a client base.”

The opening of the new Chicago office will give the firm better access to existing local clients and the Midwest real estate investment community as a whole.

“The firm’s expansion into Chicago is part of an ongoing corporate growth strategy that will result in the firm establishing regional locations in the Southeast, West Coast and Northeast,” said Daniel Herrold, Executive Managing Director of Stan Johnson Company, who is spearheading the company’s growth plans.  “Brandon and Brad will be expanding on the value of the firm’s expertise and unique platform, helping sellers and investors throughout the Midwest succeed.”

The company’s expansion strategy kicked off in late 2008 with the launch of an office in Houston, Texas. The company also has a Capital Markets office in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

“In preparation for the next real estate cycle, we plan on continuing to leverage our specialization and expertise in primary markets as well as capitalize on our past successes that will drive new opportunities and growth for our company in the future,” said Stan Johnson, founder and chief executive officer of Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Stan Johnson Company.
