Robert Erickson — Industry Partners
Erickson’s biography identifies Los Angeles office agency assignments and marketing-plan work. Industry Partners: individual biographies We would interview him when an owner needs a detailed account of how the property will be presented. Ask which prospect groups the campaign should target and how responses will lead to a change in strategy, presentation or proposed terms.
Bryan Carnes — Industry Partners
Carnes’s stated office practice includes landlord representation. Industry Partners: individual biographies He merits comparison for an owner who wants direct involvement from a local specialist. Ask who conducts tours, who documents objections and how often the owner will receive a recommendation. Two partners at one firm should still be assessed on the specific commitment each makes to the asset.
Gabe Brown — JLL
Brown describes landlord office assignments and creative leasing in Los Angeles. JLL: Gabe Brown We select him for an owner considering how leasing and the property’s positioning should work together. Ask which ideas are immediate marketing actions and which depend on further investment or feasibility work. The distinction helps ownership evaluate the proposed campaign without assuming that every concept is executable.
Cassie Trosclair — JLL
Trosclair’s profile identifies office landlord work and tenant tracking. JLL: Cassie Trosclair We would compare her approach where structured reporting and approval discipline are priorities. Request a sample of the information the owner would receive and an explanation of how it distinguishes general enquiries from meaningful progress toward a decision.
Jeffrey Pion — CBRE
Pion’s local office-team scope includes owners. CBRE: Jeffrey Pion We include him for a client seeking a senior lead within a larger platform. Ask how the assignment will be staffed and what evidence supports the recommended prospect strategy. Confirm when the named lead participates and which team members have authority to make recommendations to ownership.
Evaluate a shared property scenario
Provide the same vacancy information, building condition, owner objectives and available budget to all finalists. Ask each to identify the principal obstacle to leasing and a practical way to test that diagnosis. The campaign should include a feedback process, clear owner decisions and a method for comparing offers with different delivery obligations or concessions. Verify current capacity, relevant references and conflicts with competing listings. Our selection rests on personal scope and local fit; public biographies do not establish comparable campaign conversion, client satisfaction or financial outcomes. The final appointment should make responsibility and escalation clear enough for the owner to supervise the work.
