Top Seller James Nelson Joins Avison Young

James Nelson will join Avison Young as principal starting in February.

“James is consistently a top producer and, unquestionably, one of the leading investment sales professionals in the business,” said Mitti Liebersohn, president of the New York City office for Avison Young.

In 2016, Nelson was Cushman & Wakefield’s top investment sales producer in the U.S. Prior to joining Cushman & Wakefield, he was a partner and top producer for Massey Knakal for six of the organization’s last eight years, and was named the company’s youngest partner in 2004. While at Massey Knakal, he was involved in the sale of approximately 400 properties and loans with an aggregate value of more than $3.8 billion.

“He is the ideal choice to oversee our investment sales platform and expand our capital markets footprint throughout the New York City area,” said Liebersohn.
