Newmark is pleased to announce that three new appraisers have joined Philadelphia’s expanding Valuation & Advisory practice. J. John Gasparre, MAI, Stephen J. Cook II and Andrew Barbato are the newest members of Newmark’s Valuation & Advisory practice. All three appraisers are based in the Philadelphia office, led by Joseph D. Pasquarella, MAI, CRE, FRICS.
This local growth is reflective of Newmark Valuation & Advisory’s national expansion. Since March of 2017, its national Valuation & Advisory practice has grown from approximately 15 people to more than 300 people.
Bringing 35 years of experience to his role, J. John Gasparre, MAI, has joined the Philadelphia office as a senior vice president. Prior to joining Newmark, he served as a vice president with CBRE, as a member of the firm’s retail, multifamily and national office valuation team. Throughout his successful career, he has prepared valuations and market analyses on a broad range of property types including super-regional malls, lifestyle centers, single-tenant retail, industrial, office buildings, mixed-use developments and vacant land, to name a few. Mr. Gasparre has carried out valuations for mortgage financing, tax appeal, investment counseling, potential sale or purchase, leasehold and rental analysis and feasibility analysis. His clients have included commercial banks, developers, corporations, individual property owners, public agencies, insurance companies and legal firms. Mr. Gasparre also successfully oversaw the startup of a valuation office for CBRE in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Also new to the Philadelphia office are Stephen J. Cook II, who joined as first vice president, and analyst Andrew Barbato. Mr. Cook has 10 years of real estate experience and specializes in industrial real estate, focusing on suburban Philadelphia, central Pennsylvania, the Lehigh Valley and Northeastern Pennsylvania industrial markets.
“We are excited to be adding more talent to our Philadelphia office and to offer clients real time market data and the skills of nationally recognized specialty practice leaders. Our local Valuation & Advisory expansion is reflective of Newmark’s national strategy to attract the best talent to service our clients’ needs,” said Mr. Pasquarella.
“The enhanced value we gained when Joe Pasquerella and his team joined Newmark and formed the Valuation and Appraisal team in Philadelphia, is nothing short of exceptional. They are a trusted, recognized and respected team in the Philadelphia market,” said John Busi, president of Newmark’s Valuation & Advisory group.
