Steven Schleider will lead JLL's expanded Tri-State valuation services team

JLL Acquires Metropolitan Valuation Services

JLL has acquired Metropolitan Valuation Services (MVS), one of the largest independent commercial property appraisal and real estate consulting firms in the greater New York metropolitan area. EVP Ross Friedman and the existing JLL NYC Tri-State team will join forces with MVS EVPs Peter Rastetter and David Lyon under the leadership of MVS founder Steven Schleider.

“We have a unique and detailed understanding of the Tri-State area and I’m excited by the opportunity to expand our capabilities to better serve our clients as part of JLL,” said Schleider.

He continued, “With JLL, we will have the resources to scale faster, broaden our existing practice areas, serve new asset sectors and to continue assisting investors and lenders in the NYC Tri-State area. We will also advise lenders and owners on navigating the valuation impacts that the energy mandates and sustainability regulations will have on commercial properties.”
