CBRE announces new Victorian leader

CBRE has appointed highly experienced property professional Jarrod Frazer to lead its strongly performing Victorian business.

Mr Frazer assumed the interim leadership role in August after previous head Dean Hunt relocated to the US to take up a role as Executive Managing Director and Market Leader for CBRE’s Los Angeles North Region business.

CBRE CEO, Australia & New Zealand, Phil Rowland said it had quickly been apparent that Mr Frazer was the right successor to build on CBRE’s growth plans for Victoria.

“Jarrod joined CBRE in 2009 to head up our just-established Residential Valuations offering in Victoria. He progressed through a series of local, national and Pacific VAS roles before assuming the Pacific Leadership of our Valuation & Advisory Services business last year,” Mr Rowland said.

“Moving into the Victorian leadership role gives Jarrod an exciting opportunity to harness adjacent skills and take his career in a new direction, building on his proven leadership skills and deep knowledge of the valuations sector.

“Jarrod will work with our strong group of passionate state leaders to further enhance our client service offering and marketing leading position in the Victorian market, which has been recognised by the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) through multiple award wins.”

Mr Frazer said he was excited to be assuming the role given the current opportunities in Victoria.

“We see considerable scope to expand our reach in emerging asset classes such as the Living and Alternative sectors, as well as areas beyond Melbourne to assist our clients in delivering on their growth objectives.”

Mr Frazer has been succeeded in his Valuation & Advisory Services leadership role by Duncan Guthrie, who recently celebrated 20 years with CBRE.
