Greg May Rejoins CBRE in Orange County

CBRE said Thursday that Greg May has rejoined the firm’s Newport Beach office as SVP, specializing in office properties across Orange County. With more than 35 years’ experience in commercial real estate, May will join the brokerage team of Rick Warner, Chip Warner, Peter Wells and Taylor Friend.

“Greg is a great addition to our operation, a terrific cultural fit, and we are thrilled to have him back at CBRE,” said Kurt Strasmann, CBRE’s executive managing director. “His extensive understanding of the Orange County office market is a testament to his expertise, which will fortify our team’s growth and success in this market.”

Most recently, May led Newmark’s brokerage operations for all service lines in the Southwest. Before transitioning from brokerage to management, he consistently ranked among the company’s top-performing brokers. He has advised numerous regional and national firms as well as many of Orange County’s premier landlords and tenants.

“I am happy to realign and join so many friends at CBRE,” said May. “Focusing solely on brokerage at CBRE will be exciting, as my leadership experience has provided me with a broader perspective and refined my abilities in negotiation, client relations, and market analysis.”

His previous roles included VP at Transwestern, leasing director of the USAA western region and VP in CBRE’s Newport Beach office.
