Christopher McGarey takes helm at CC

Commercial real estate expert ready to meet 2018 challenges

Christopher McGarey, founder and team leader of The McGarey Group at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Nevada Properties, has learned to take charge and meet challenges over his lifetime, both in his personal life and professional career in real estate.

Challenges are abound for McGarey in 2018, as he takes the helm of two of Southern Nevada’s largest commercial real estate organizations, Commercial Alliance Las Vegas and Certified Commercial Investment Management’s Southern Nevada chapter, all while leading a major property management portfolio in the Las Vegas Valley.

“I’ve learned through life to face everything and handle it. Face it and get it taken care of no matter what it is,” said McGarey from The View at the top of the Palms Casino Resort’s Fantasy Tower, where CCIM Southern Nevada held its first luncheon of 2018. McGarey took over leadership of CCIM Southern Nevada and CALV on Jan. 1.

CCIM and CALV

McGarey will take charge of over 500 members in CALV, the commercial division of the Greater Las Vegas Association of Realtors, along with 256 more members in CCIM’s local chapter, where 78 hold the CCIM designation.

Plans for a membership increase is on the table this year for CALV as McGarey takes charge. He plans to grow the membership by 50 to 100 members this year, along with pushing for continued increases, he said.

“We plan to increase our membership of commercial practitioners as well as residential agents that want to learn and get into the commercial arena,” McGarey said. “Our sights are set this year on growing membership, promoting CALV, promoting benefits and continuing what’s already been in play and uniting more so through membership all the other organizations, as well as all the other practitioners.”

Southern Nevada CCIM is also set for growth under McGarey.
