Building on a strong 2018, CBRE’s Perth Metropolitan Investments team has expanded its presence in the market with the appointment of two new staff members.
Derek Barlow has joined the team as Associate Director, while Jacob Wallman has commenced in the role of Negotiator.
Mr Barlow, who previously worked for CBRE between 2006-2009, has spent the past decade specialising in acquisitions, development management and capital raising for both private and ASX-listed companies. He most recently co-founded online property investment platform, CrowdfundUP, further extending his skillset into the online marketing, debt financing and international funding sectors.
Mr Wallman joins the Metropolitan Investments team after completing CBRE’s 2018 graduation program. He brings a broad background of knowledge to the role, having previously completed a law degree, in addition to studying Property Development and Valuation at Curtin University.
CBRE Director, Metropolitan Investments, Ben Younger said the appointment of Mr Barlow and Mr Wallman would strengthen the team’s capabilities and presence in the market.
“Derek’s depth of knowledge in site assessment, extensive experience in project delivery and strong network both locally and nationally, will make him a considerable asset to both the CBRE team and clients alike. Likewise, Jake offers tremendous interpersonal skills, combined with an analytical mindset that will ensure clients are able to achieve the best possible outcome in a timely and efficient manner,” Mr Younger said.
“We are excited by the addition of Derek and Jake, that will no doubt see our team bolster our performance and service deliver.”
The appointments follow a strong 2018 for CBRE’s Perth Metropolitan Investments team, transacting over $330 million in sales and $54 million contracted already for 2019, with a strong pipeline for the remainder of the year.
