Avison Young Adds Three Brokers

Real estate brokerage Avison Young has hired three new brokers for its Los Angeles North office. Chris Baer, Brian Hennessey and Armand Aghadjanians will work at the office in Toluca Lake. Effective immediately, Baer will become a principal with a mandate to expand leasing and office investment in the Tri-Cities and San Fernando Valley. Baer rejoins Avison Young following a four-year tenure with Colliers International in Los Angeles Hennessey joins Avison Young as a senior vice-president. He was most recently a senior vice-president at Colliers International specializing in office sales and leasing with a focus on the West San Fernando Valley and Tri-Cities markets. Aghadjanians, also from Colliers, will become an associate at Avison Young. Although the three men worked at the same company, they made the job transition as individuals, not as a team. “We are thrilled to welcome Chris back to Avison Young and to bring Brian and Armand on board,” Mark Evanoff, managing director of the Los Angeles North office, said in a statement. “The addition of all three members to the Avison Young team shows our firm’s continued commitment to client service through superior expertise. Their deep market knowledge of the Tri-cities and San Fernando Valley areas will be a tremendous complement to Avison Young’s service offerings in our rapidly growing region.”
