Property management, brokerage, development, construction and real estate finance leadership.
Commercial Real Estate is our sweet spot
Roughly nine in ten searches AVID EXEC runs are commercial or multi-family real estate roles. That is not a sector we added to a list — it is the market the practice was built inside, over two decades, in Edmonton and Calgary.
It means the market map is already in the room on day one. We know which owners are growing, which portfolios have just changed hands, which teams are stable and which are not, and who has actually run a Class AAA asset rather than sat beside one.
What we recruit
Property management leadership across office, retail, industrial, mixed-use and multi-family. Commercial brokerage and broker of record mandates. Development and construction leadership. Real estate finance, asset management and property accounting.
We recruit at every level the portfolio needs, not only the top of the org chart. Depth of talent, at all levels, is what builds competitiveness and succession.
Why a specialist matters in this sector
Commercial real estate leadership is judged on operating results — NOI, occupancy, tenant retention, capital delivery, team stability. A generalist recruiter reads a résumé; a specialist reads whether the numbers on it were earned or inherited.
Our expertise doesn't stop at the property line. The judgement built in this sector is what makes us effective when we travel into adjacent industries.

We go further than the résumé. We uncover a candidate's value proposition — how they think, how they behave, what motivates them, what their values are, and where their emotional intelligence sits. Then one step further: how all of that produced a set of proven, consistently demonstrated outcomes, and the ROI they will give their next employer.
