"It is an honor to be asked to serve as Chairman of ITRA Global for a second year. Adding four member offices in 2015 serves to illustrate that top industry professionals continue to recognize ITRA Global as a leader and pioneer in exclusive commercial real estate representation. Recent merger activity in the commercial real estate industry has had the effect of reducing the availability of exclusive representation services worldwide, increasing the importance and value of the services offered by ITRA Global members."
Chris Atwater has thirty years of commercial real estate experience. He graduated from Kent State University with a degree in real estate and spent fifteen years as a commercial real estate appraiser, ultimately attaining the prestigious MAI designation by The Appraisal Institute and becoming a partner at Schultz, Carr, Bissette and Atwater in Atlanta, GA. After relocating to Grand Rapids in 1991, Mr. Atwater served as an asset manager at Oxford Partners and President of Waters Corporation, a commercial real estate owner and developer. In 2008, Mr. Atwater and two partners founded Michigan Commercial Space Advisors, Western Michigan's only full service, exclusive tenant and buyer representation brokerage. Upon the retirement of his partners in 2012, Mr. Atwater became the sole owner of MCSA. He brings to ITRA Global the integrity and impartiality he developed as an MAI-designated appraiser and the product knowledge he refined as an asset manager and owners' representative.
Serving with Mr. Atwater on the ITRA Global 2015 leadership team are: Mr. Jeffrey A. Tabor of Corporate Realty Advisors / ITRA Global Orange County, as Vice Chairman; Mr. Stuart Holcombe, CCIM, of Corporate Real Estate Advisors / ITRA Global Atlanta as Secretary; Mr. Gordon Rasmussen, CCIM, of Martin Property Advisors, Inc. / ITRA Global Phoenix as Treasurer; and, Mr. Charles Tatham, SIOR, MRICS, of Tatham Property Solutions / ITRA Global Paris as director.
