Transwestern Director Greg Frankum and Senior VicePresident Matt Spickard are the exclusive agents for the officebuildings.

“We were impressed with our new team’s approach to help us meet ourgoals,” says John Davidson, southeast regional director andmanaging partner with Parmenter Realty Partners. “We get thebest of both worlds in several ways, in that there’s consistencyand familiarity with Greg and Matt but also enhanced marketing andsupport that will help grow the Parmenter brand while promoting ourassets in Atlanta and Richmond.”

Frankum and Spickard managed Gwinnett Commerce Center when theywere at CB Richard Ellis. The duo transitioned to Transwestern inmid-July. “We talked to Parmenter about keeping the assignment,”Greg Frankum tells GlobeSt.com. “The client liked the Transwesternapproach, which focuses more on marketing the property thanmarketing the firm, and not only gave us Gwinnett but also the twoRichmond buildings.”
