Ari Firoozabadi, Co-Founder of Greysteel, a national commercial real estate investment services firm, has been named to Real Estate Forum’s 2016 50 Under 40 List. This list profiles the best and brightest professionals of the next generation who are making strides in the commercial real estate industry. These are the superstars who have stood out from the pack and will comprise the next batch of leadership in the business.

“While those of us at Greysteel have the opportunity to see Ari’s industry contributions and successes daily, we are excited that he has been publicly recognized by Real Estate Forum with this honor,” said Duerk Brewer, Managing Director of company operations.

Mr. Firoozabadi founded Greysteel in 2012 with a clear vision of how he thought a great real estate company should conduct business, as a single unified, conflict free team. He is proud to have grown the company from three employees to over 50 transaction professionals, marketers, data scientists, analysts, copywriters, designers, communications specialists, and project managers across seven cities in less than four years. In 2015, Greysteel’s transaction activity increased by 85% and its staff nearly doubled. Greysteel’s continued rapid growth under Mr. Firoozabadi’s leadership is a prime example of his ability to disseminate his vision for a collaborative, conflict-free platform to the entire company.

“Ari leads by example and what makes him stand out among his peers is his ability to mentor and develop those around him. He has created a conflict-free culture of collaboration, which has proven to be a key differentiator for Greysteel. Ari takes great pride in seeing those around him succeed and I continue to look forward to seeing his growing impact on the commercial real estate industry,” Mr. Brewer added.
