• Brian Malliet rejoins firm as partner

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 3, 2009 – Voit has announced a refocus, rebranding and revitalization of its firm through a return to its efforts in asset services to meet the needs of banks, financial institutions and owners facing challenges in the current commercial real estate market.

“Voit will provide single-point service for properties and portfolios, including asset services, brokerage, construction management, development, property management, strategic planning and financial modeling, entitlement work, financial reporting, and development of exit strategies,” according to Robert D. Voit, Chief Executive Officer of Voit Real Estate Services.

“Unlike other companies that may be attempting to gather together the correct services to fill this role through strategic alliances, Voit has all these services in its wheelhouse and has been providing these to major companies and institutions for the last 38 years,” Mr. Voit added.

Brian Malliet, formerly president of bkm Development, has rejoined Voit to spearhead this initiative. Malliet had originally joined Voit in 1988 and worked in both brokerage and development. Malliet’s existing team at bkm Development Co. will become part of Voit with this change.

The firm is rebranding as “Voit Real Estate Services” to signify this unification of its services into a single offering.

“In addition to our expertise as a total provider of real estate services, Voit is unique in that it is regional in scope, privately owned and operated, and has been through all the various market cycles since 1971. This intimate knowledge of the Western United States, of working through the most challenging markets, and doing so as a cohesive team will make a large positive impact on the work we perform for banks, institutions and owners over the next several years,” Voit noted.

Information on Voit Asset Management and Voit Real Estate Services is available at (949) 644-8648.

Voit Real Estate Services is headquartered in Newport Beach, Calif. Founded in 1971 by Robert D. Voit, the firm has offices throughout California, as well as in Arizona and Nevada
