“Edmund is a consistent top producer and a progressive leader within our institutional capital markets practice group,” said Michael Sheinkop, Executive Vice President and Northwest Region Market Leader. “The growth of our regional investment sales business has been extraordinary, due in large part to the cohesion of the equity and debt brokerage platform that reflects a client base that increasingly and repeatedly has appointed Edmund and his esteemed colleagues. This promotion is a testament to his exceptional outcomes, relentless drive and unmatched knowledge of the marketplace.”
Mr. Najera specializes in institutional dispositions of properties and portfolios, including office, R&D, industrial and land product types.

“This promotion is truly an honor and is a reflection of our commitment to our clients,” said Najera. “I would like to thank all of our clients, Newmark, and most of all my teammates, as this would not be possible without their complete and total dedication to our clients and our craft.”
Steve Golubchik, Vice Chairman, Head of Capital Markets Northern California, added, “Edmund has greatly contributed to the transformation of Newmark’s Capital Markets practice in the Silicon Valley and is a dominant force within the region, consistently executing a high volume of transactions.”
