Lee IL Launches Office Practice with Key Hires

Tony Russo

Lee & Associates of Illinois added two veteran brokers to the firm. SVP Tony Russo and VP Ryan Freed will launch Lee & Associates’ office practice.

Russo and Freed have worked together for over more than eight years and have a combined 28 years of experience in the suburban Chicago office market. They began their careers with a focus on the I-88 / East-West Corridor; while keeping a firm grasp on that market, they continue to expand their team’s platform to the I-90 Northwest Suburbs.

Ryan Freed

Tom Condon, principal at Lee & Associates of Illinois, said, “We are excited to have a foothold in the suburban Chicago office market. Tony and Ryan are two proven veterans that Lee & Associates can build with in the future.”
