CityBiz Real Estate-Chris Maguire is resuming his role as CEO of SRS Real Estate Partners, a position he held from 1993 until 2009. Maguire, founder and chairman of SRS Real Estate Partners, replaces Clay Smith, who is leaving the company effective April 2, 2010.
As founder, Maguire has been associated with the firm for over 25 years. In addition to his renewed role as CEO, he will continue to chair SRS’ board of members and lead Cypress Equities, an affiliated firm he founded in 1995.
“I have a very special, ongoing connection to SRS Real Estate Partners, and I am committed to enhancing our already strong national presence,” Maguire said. “We’ll do that by continuing to focus on growing the number of transactions and recruiting new professionals who want to be part of a dynamic real estate firm.”
Maguire thanked Smith for his many years of service to SRS. In an internal announcement to the company, Smith said he accomplished the goals he set for the firm when he took over the CEO role last year.
“I am honored to have had the opportunity to lead the company through the transition from Staubach Retail Services to SRS Real Estate Partners,” Smith said. “The company is now well positioned to take advantage of the changing real estate market,” Smith added.
