Colliers Brokerage Team Moves to Avison Young

Ron Perry and Larry Epstein, formerly president and senior vice president at Colliers International Boston, have been named principals of Avison Young, effective immediately. Also joining the Avison Young Boston office from Colliers are Jeff Gates and Mike McElaney as senior vice presidents, and Matt Perry, as senior associate.

Avison Young opened its Boston office in October 2010. Over the past seven years, the company has grown from 11 to 77 offices, and from 300 to more than 2,200 real estate professionals in Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Europe.

“Having watched Avison Young’s growth in Boston since 2010, it’s exciting to see how far the company has come in a short period of time here,” Perry said.
