AUSTIN, TX - Atlanta-headquartered ARA, the largest privately held, full-service investment advisory brokerage firm in the nation focusing exclusively on the multihousing industry, announces the addition of Matt Pohl to the Austin, Texas-based Private Client Services Group.
Matt will join managing principal, Patton Jones, and director of Private Client Services, Andrew Shih, focusing on Austin and San Antonio conventional multifamily investment sales. Matt will specifically focus on Austin private client services and assist in the transaction management and brokerage for private capital assets. “Matt Pohl brings experience and local market knowledge to ARA’s Private Client Services business. We are proud to have him join the ARA Austin Team,” said Jones.
Prior to joining ARA, Matt was with a competing Austin, Texas-based brokerage and management firm where he focused on central Texas multifamily properties representing both buyers and sellers. With an exclusive concentration on “B and C” class assets, he managed all aspects of the marketing, negotiations, valuations, pricing strategies and closing of transactions while working with numerous clients assisting them with both acquisition and disposition strategies. Matt also worked in the Business Development office of Heritage Title Company of Austin as well as the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) in Washington DC before returning to Austin in 2007. Matt graduated from The University of Texas at Austin and is a lifelong Austinite.
“As the Austin and San Antonio multifamily market steadily improves, ARA continues to be a leading resource for both institutional and private client owners and investors looking to take advantage of a dynamic market. I am excited about the opportunity to join the ARA Austin team and look forward to building upon the presence ARA has in the Central Texas multifamily marketplace,” said Pohl.
