MIAMI—NAI Miami is making a strategic personnel moves well before the new year musical chairs season. Victor Pastor has joined the firm as a director specializing in retail and international business investment sales.

Pastor started his banking and investment real estate career over 18 years ago, working in several areas including wealth management, retirement and estate planning, commercial underwriting, SBA lending and real estate brokerage. He most recently worked for Marcus & Millichap, where he closed roughly $25 million in retail assets this year.

"NAI Miami is thrilled to have Victor as part of our brokerage team," says Stephen Nostrand, CEO/COO of NAI Miami. "His experience, strong knowledge of the South Florida market, and his skills make him a total solution provider for any client.  We are excited to use Victor's skills to increase international business within the NAI Global's vast network."

Victor graduated from Seton Hall University with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. He earned his Master's Degree of Business Administration from Florida International University.

"Despite the strengthening of the dollar, the US will continue to attract foreign investment especially from South America into the foreseeable future," Pastor tells GlobeSt.com. "Moreover, political corruption scandals in Brazil, hyperinflation in Venezuela, and  party changes in Argentina will only fuel the flight of foreign capital to the US for those seeking to mitigate systemic and/or inflationary risk."

Earlier this year, NAI saw an executive shake up. In May, Jeremy S. Larkin and Edward L. Schmidt, were promoted to the newly created roles of co-chairmen, board members and constitute the company's executive committee. After driving business to NAI Miami for decades, the duo will focus on revenue production and strategic growth initiatives.

Nostrand was named CEO in May. Nostrand previously served as senior vice president at Avison Young, where he led the client service platforms and 35 brokers in three offices across South Florida. Annual revenues exceeded $400 million.
