“I am eager to join the advisory side of the commercial real estate industry once again, after seven years’ journey at the leading CEE CRE player, WING, in the Transactions & Business Development team. Even in challenging times, opportunities are plentiful—you just need the right strategy, an approach, and a touch of creative thinking. My goal is to strengthen the Colliers Capital Markets team, to grow and expand our business, and to help boost the investment volume of the Hungarian CRE market” – said Balázs Zelles-Görgey.
