External Drivers Foster Transwestern Changes

HOUSTON-A combination of a strengthening industry and revved-up internal growth was the catalyst driving change at Transwestern. In an interview with GlobeSt.com, Transwestern chairman Robert Duncan shared the reason why Chip Clarke and Kevin Roberts were promoted, why the organization itself is undergoing structural changes and why expansion nationally and internationally is in play.

From a macro viewpoint, Duncan says the internal shifts made sense, given what’s going on with the commercial real estate market these days. The industry continues to gradually shake off the issues plaguing it from the late 2000s. As such, “the markets are beginning to cooperate with us,” Duncan observes. “Most of them around the country are well into recovery, or are stabilized, or are moving in that direction.” As such, Transwestern is taking steps to, as Duncan puts it, expand its service delivery system to current and future clients.
