“Hiring Terry is probably one of the smartest decisions I ever made,” said Keith Thompson, Principal at Avison Young. “He brings deep understanding of the industry and his honesty and skilled personal approach to the hospitality practice group is unrivaled. Terry is not only a great hotel broker, but he is the kind of person you can build a long-term practice group around.”
