A former commercial real estate agent has rejoined Burgess Rawson as senior negotiator, bringing over $400 million in sales experience and broad asset class expertise.

Commercial property agency Burgess Rawson, which was recently acquired by CBRE, has brought back former agent Rick Jacobson to the firm as a senior negotiator.

Having started his career with Burgess Rawson in sales administration in 2019, Jacobson then moved on to the first sales cadet position while completing further studies through REIV and RMIT.

 
 

Jacobson continued to grow through the agency, moving into senior roles and leading numerous sales campaigns.

Since its debut, Jacobson has transacted more than $400 million in commercial properties across an array of asset classes along the east coast in the past four years.

Now he returns to where it all began.

“Returning now in a senior capacity feels both familiar and exciting,” Jacobson said.

“I’m looking forward to building on past successes, reconnecting with clients and continuing to deliver strong results alongside such a respected national team.”

Burgess Rawson partner, Matthew Wright, said Jacobson had been a key contributor to the firm, strengthening their east coast presence with broad asset class experience, including fast food, office, automotive, convenience retail, and medical.

“His previous roles have equipped him with a strong practical foundation in the commercial property sector,” Wright said.

“Known for his passion for the industry and proactive approach, Rick has built a reputation for delivering outstanding results and forging strong client relationships.

“Rick brings both depth and versatility to the team.”

The network said that Jacobson has played a critical role in supporting and executing a number of investment portfolio auctions and is known for his market insight and strong campaign management.

Since he started his new position, Jacobson has already been running several listings in Burgess Rawson from CBRE’s upcoming Portfolio Auction campaign, including a United Petroleum–leased convenience retail investment in Tweed Heads that generated a current net income of $229,473 pa + GST.

Earlier this year, CBRE acquired some select Burgess Rawson east coast operations, strengthening its metropolitan investments division and expanding its reach in Australia’s high-net-worth and private investor market under CEO Ingrid Filmer’s leadership.
