Its newest hires, meantime, include Ryan Sullivan, Belus Brutus and Kevin Dietrich as sales associates and Matt LoBocchiaro as a commercial sales and leasing associate.
“These promotions are extremely well-earned and well-deserved,” said Jason Pucci, the firm’s CEO. “I welcome all our new salespeople and look forward to their successful careers with Kislak. Jeff and Matt contribute greatly to our success and they each bring a unique skillset and successful approach to our business. I am excited for Greg and the South Florida team as they expand our services there.”
In a news release, Kislak noted that Squires and Weilheimer are among its top producers.
