“Bringing on well-respected industry veterans like Richard continues to successfully augment Newmark’s ability to serve new markets and clients with customized, local property management,” said Randy J. Buddemeyer, Newmark President of Management Services. “Richard’s decades of experience in the property management space and his aptitude for recognizing market expansion opportunities are exceptional benefits to Newmark and our clients, both existing and future.”
Mr. Holden has a proven track record of growing management portfolios; most recently, at Davis Partners, he expanded the company’s footprint into the Bay Area, Sacramento and Washington markets.
“The addition of Richard underscores the significant value that property management provides for all other Newmark service lines and professionals. As the daily touchpoint for many local and institutional clients, our property managers are the face of client service and we are excited to have Richard spearhead such a key role, working alongside Newmark’s West Coast leadership,” stated Executive Vice President Greg May, Executive Vice President, West Region Market Leader.
“Richard’s expertise in the complexities and changing landscape of the property management business will also be an outstanding benefit to our company, professionals and clients,” added Executive Vice President and Regional Managing Director Bryan Courson, based in Newmark’s San Francisco office.
Mr. Holden will work closely with May and Courson to accomplish their West Coast client strategies. Mr. Holden joins Newmark from Davis Partners, where he was an Executive Vice President. Previously, Mr. Holden held positions as Vice President of Woodmont Real Estate Services; Senior Leasing and Property Manager for the East Bay and San Francisco markets at RREEF; and as a leasing agent at Bay Area-based BT Commercial.
“In step with Newmark’s expanding local and national platform of services and entrepreneurial culture, this is the right move in my career.
