Trevor Koskovich, president-Investment Sales, leads the multifamily investment sales platform’s growth, and looks for professionals who are interested in leveraging the company’s entrepreneurial culture and debt and equity expertise. “Scott is a market leader in Austin, and will be a perfect fit for our growing team of investment sales experts in Texas and in the company.
