A veteran leasing executive and former asset manager for Toys R Us has joined Resources Real Estate, helping to bolster the firm’s commercial sales division.
In a news release, the Colts Neck-based brokerage said Jennifer Sofia Harrison brings more than 20 years of experience in commercial real estate. That includes her time with Toys R Us, where she managed a portfolio of more than 500 owned and leased locations nationwide, with a focus on negotiating transactions, obtaining approvals for large-scale projects and developing relationships with national and local tenants.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer to our team,” said JoAnn Davenport, commercial division manager for Resources Real Estate. “Her extensive experience and strong track record in the commercial real estate industry will further enhance our capabilities and offerings to our clients. We look forward to her contributions and success with our firm.”
Harrison’s career in real estate began as a paralegal, which provided her with experience in managing a portfolio of shopping centers, warehouses and office spaces, the news release said. After her tenure at Toys R Us, she joined the retail team at Cushman & Wakefield, where she provided retail brokerage services to the company’s national client base and new clients.
Resources Real Estate added that Harrison has worked at several other real estate firms, where she honed her skills in landlord and tenant representation, sales and purchases. She is a member of NAIOP and ICSC.
