Hughes Marino Expands West Los Angeles and Orange County Offices; Adds New Talent to Tenant Representation Team

Leading commercial real estate company exclusively representing business owners and corporate real estate decision makers continues rapid growth as it welcomes Greg Olson, Sean Spear and Michael Muna to its Southern California team.

Los Angeles, CA — Hughes Marino, an industry-leading and nationally recognized commercial real estate company based in California capped off another year of intense growth with the addition of tenant representatives Greg Olson, Sean Spear and Michael Muna to their Orange County and Los Angeles based teams.

The addition of this new talent was timed to correlate with the completion of Hughes Marino’s office expansions in West Los Angeles and Irvine. By doubling the offices’ size, the locally owned tenant representation firm will have the capacity to add more brokers to its already stellar team of experienced commercial real estate professionals, according to Hughes Marino President and CEO Jason Hughes.

“Greg and Sean both have an incredible diversity of expertise and are rising stars in the Southern California commercial real estate industry. Michael, who has been with us for nearly four years as an intern in our San Diego office, is already very knowledgeable about the business and brings excellent skills to the table. The combined experience, insights and local market knowledge these young men possess will be a tremendous asset to our company and to the business owners and corporate real estate decision makers we represent,” said Hughes.

In addition to the new brokerage team members, Hughes Marino Regional Operations Manager Julia Myers recently relocated to the firm’s West Los Angeles office, where she will lead the company’s ongoing recruitment efforts.

Shay Hughes, Chief Operating Officer of Hughes Marino said, “Each one of these team members represents the best of the best in professionalism, ethics, and integrity. Our company’s aggressive growth throughout California has been buoyed by a strong company culture rooted in Hughes Marino’s ten core values. Julia, Greg, Sean and Michael embody these values one hundred percent, and we are thrilled to have them on our team.”

Prior to joining Hughes Marino, Olson, who was born and raised in Newport Beach, spent years in Orange County commercial real estate brokerage and ancillary industries including project management, development, and construction. Spear, a Los Angeles native, was instrumental in expanding Bisnow’s reach throughout LA, Orange County and San Diego, helping it grow into the region’s most popular real estate news source before joining Hughes Marino. Muna, son of Hughes Marino Senior Vice President Ed Muna and Operations Manager Kelly Muna, recently graduated from the University of San Diego with a double major in real estate and finance.

Hughes Marino plans to continue its growth throughout the state in response to client demand. The vertically integrated commercial real estate services firm specializes in tenant representation, and also offers construction management, lease audit and lease administration services. In recent years the company has expanded to open new offices in Silicon Valley and San Francisco, in addition to the firm’s multiple locations in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego.

Recently ranked the #2 small company in the nation on Entrepreneur’s inaugural Top Company Cultures List in 2015, President and CEO Jason Hughes also pioneered California SB 1171, which requires commercial real estate brokers to provide written disclosure of dual agency status to their clients. The bill became law in January 2015.

“We have aggressive growth plans for 2016,” said Hughes. “We will continue to bring on the best of the best professionals in each of our target markets to ensure we are continually raising the bar of service in our industry, providing unmatched expertise and premier tenant representation to business owners throughout California.”
