Northmarq opens Nashville office

MINNEAPOLIS (June 1, 2022) – Northmarq opens a new office today, bringing experienced leader Bryan Schellinger from Los Angeles to lead the growth.  The Nashville team will collaborate with existing Northmarq offices across the Southeast and Midwest to provide the company’s full range of services, including investment sales, debt, equity, and loan servicing.

“This location is a great bridge from our existing teams in Atlanta, Charlotte, St. Louis, and Kansas City, and is an important growth market for us and many of our clients,” said Trevor Koskovich, president – Investment Sales.

Schellinger, a long-time California resident, decided to relocate to open Northmarq’s Nashville office, seeing a huge opportunity to leverage his diverse transactional experience across all multifamily asset classes and land/development opportunities.

“Tennessee offers a tremendous opportunity to help our clients evaluate core and value-add properties in high-growth submarkets across the state as the region continues to be a magnet, attracting educated and talented young workers and highly skilled professionals across remarkably diverse employment sectors – Nashville is the epicenter of that growth,” Schellinger said.  “The transition also allows me the unique opportunity to leverage my land disposition expertise, which was refined over the years in California, so I am excited to enter a market that does not possess the same regulatory environment yet offers similar, if not better, opportunities for business growth.”

Schellinger, who relocated in May, has hired one associate broker, Brenden Bercaw, to open the office with him. Northmarq anticipates hiring at least two debt and equity experts, along with support staff by the end of 2022. The office is located at 414 Union Street, Suite 1900 #34, Nashville, TN 37219.
