Sacramento, CA – The Greater Sacramento Economic Council (GSEC) has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with three Sacramento area commercial real estate offices, Colliers Intl., Newmark Knight Frank (NGFK) and CBRE; to enhance their collaboration in building economic growth for the Greater Sacramento region. A panel discussion was held at GSEC’s board meeting today with the Senior Managing director of CBRE, David Brennan; Managing Director at Colliers International, Randy Dixon; and Executive Director of Newmark Knight Frank, Todd Eschelman on the benefits of working with GSEC.

The Greater Sacramento Economic Council (GSEC) spearheads initiatives to retain, expand, and attract businesses throughout six Northern California counties. The board of GSEC includes nearly 70 business, university, city, county and community leaders that are committed to investing in their communities to create an environment where businesses can thrive.

“This is a written handshake that signifies each organization’s commitment to create an inclusive and diverse landscape for businesses ready to grow,” said Barry Broome, President & CEO of Greater Sacramento Economic Council.

Individually, these firms have led the region in real estate deals from companies in California and across the nation. They offer a broad range of services including investment management, appraisal, leasing, property sales, mortgage services and development services. Collaborating with these top tier commercial real estate firms is critical to attracting and retaining companies, jobs and investments in the region.

The MOU with all three real estate firms outlines that GSEC will support their efforts to locate their client in the region by providing auxiliary site selection services including research and data, public relations support and identifying local incentives. In turn, these firms will introduce GSEC to their affiliated offices in other markets to increase visibility of the region and increase opportunities for economic growth.

“I think this is going to be a great marriage. You got such value to us, for our individual clients, we have such value with our individual clients to you. So I think it’s going to be great,” said Randy Dixon, Managing Director at Colliers International.

The GSEC board was listening intently to what the leaders of these real estate firms had to say about working with GSEC, and the top criteria their clients look at when scouting out new locations.

“Quality of life and talent are the top factors I see my clients looking at, and we have that here in Greater Sacramento,” said Todd Eschelman, Executive Director at NGFK.

The memorandum with CBRE comes just months after a previous collaboration with GSEC in producing a comprehensive report highlighting existing and pipeline talent in the region, found online at www.TheTalentIsHere.com.

“The talent report is an incredible tool to help pitch this region to companies looking to move or grow their business,” said David Brennan, Senior Managing Director at CBRE.

GSEC will work with each firm to collaborate on cross promoting events and marketing campaigns to increase the brand and raise the economic profile of the Region.

“These complimentary services give an elevated level of execution for clients locating to the Greater Sacramento region,” said Barry Broome, President & CEO of Greater Sacramento Economic Council.
