↑ 3%People move: Tumy Carter joins Cushman & Wakefield as Director, Capital Markets in Orange County. July 23, 2026 She spent more than two decades delivering closing arguments in front of a jury. Now she'll focus on delivering closings in commercial real estate. Tumy Carter has joined Cushman & Wakefield's Orange County office as Director, Capital Markets, on the retail team, bringing a background most brokers simply do not have: a full career built entirely inside the disputes, the fine print, and the risk that she now helps her clients avoid before it ever reaches a courtroom. YEARS IN CRE & LAW JURY TRIAL WINS CRE DEALS NEGOTIATED Carter joins Cushman & Wakefield's Orange County Capital Markets and Retail practice, advising investors, owners, and businesses on the acquisition, management, financing, leasing, and disposition of commercial real estate assets. It is full-cycle advisory work, the kind of assignment where a broker touches everything from sourcing a deal to structuring the financing to walking a client through the fine print of a real estate contracts, and it is work Carter has quietly built a career around twice now. First from behind a legal pad. Now from behind a deal sheet. Before she ever wore the title of broker, Carter spent more than fifteen years as a business and real estate litigation attorney. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Studies from the University of California, Irvine in 1994, then her Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles in 1997. She spent her early legal years at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith, one of the largest national law firms with a deep bench in Orange County, before ultimately dedicating more than fifteen years at Bryner Crosby, APC, as Senior Litigation and Trial Counsel. That fifteen-year stretch changed the narrative. Carter did not handle general litigation. She handled and consulted on complex business and real estate disputes almost exclusively: ownership and title fights, breach of purchase and sale agreements, breach of commercial and residential lease agreements, landlord-tenant conflicts, neighbor nuisance claims, adverse possession, constructive easements, premises liability, a broker's duty of care to a client, private money and institutional lending disputes, and joint venture breakdowns. She worked across the strata of the legal system, including litigation, arbitration, and appellate work, three very different arenas that each demand a different kind of approach. When real estate deals went wrong, badly wrong, wrong enough to end up in front of a jury, Carter was often the attorney trying the case. Every real estate matter she put before a jury ended in a favorable verdict for her client. Not most. Every one. That kind of record does not happen by accident, and it does not happen without learning exactly where deals break. Eventually, Carter made the leap that few litigators make: she stopped representing the fallout of bad real estate deals, and through brokering, started building good ones. Personal experience as a portfolio manager in office, retail, and healthcare properties throughout Orange County spurred agility to handle the gamut and the gauntlet of commercial real estate matters. In one of the most competitive commercial real estate markets in the country, this is the kind of expertise that tends to produce brokers who are unusually good at the parts of the job that never make it into a listing sheet: reading a counterparty correctly, knowing when to push and when to hold, and telling a client the truth about a deal even when it is not what they want to hear. It is a rare combination, and it is worth sitting with for a moment. Most commercial real estate brokers learn what can go wrong in a deal by watching it happen to a client, or by hearing about it secondhand from a broker down the hall. Carter learned it by cross-examining it. She has stood in front of a jury and argued exactly how a lease agreement fell apart, exactly how a title defect surfaced too late, exactly what a broker owed a client and did not deliver. She has seen, in explicit legal detail, every way a commercial real estate transaction can quietly go sideways long before either side notices. That is not a resume line. That is instinct, and it is the kind of instinct that does not disappear just because the title on the business card changes from attorney to broker. If anything, it sharpens. For Cushman & Wakefield's Orange County team, that instinct is exactly the point. Investors, owners, and business tenants navigating capital markets and retail real estate right now are dealing with a more complicated environment than they were a few years ago, one where Orange County's market is transitioning faster than its leadership bench: financing is tighter, lease structures carry more scrutiny, and the cost of a mistake in a purchase and sale agreement or a lending arrangement is higher than it used to be. Having a broker on the team who has spent a career translating exactly that kind of fine print and liability exposure into decisions a client can actually act on, is not a nice-to-have. It is a genuine edge. Cushman & Wakefield's Orange County office already runs one of the more established retail advisory practices in the region, and Carter's appointment adds depth to both the retail and capital markets side of that bench at the same time, joining a run of notable Cushman & Wakefield additions we have covered recently, including Chris Maling in Downtown LA retail capital markets and Tom Maloney as Chair of Occupier Advisory Services. Retail owners and investors in Orange County are not just leasing space right now, they are underwriting risk on every deal: co-tenancy clauses, percentage rent structures, assignment and subletting rights, and the kind of lending covenants that used to be boilerplate and are now heavily negotiated. A director who brings a level of scrutiny to due diligence is the kind of hire that shows up quietly in a client's confidence long before it shows up in a headline. It is the same pattern we track across the SoCal talent market again and again: the professionals who end up commanding the most trust are frequently the ones who have already lived inside the exact problem they are now hired to solve. A CFO who has sat through an FDA approval push before stepping into a biotech's finance seat. A broker who has tried the exact category of cases she now works to prevent. Cushman & Wakefield's Orange County Capital Markets and Retail team adds a rare kind of fluency with Carter's appointment, someone who has effectively represented both sides of the table long before she was ever paid to sit at it professionally. Carter is a member of the National Association of Realtors, Orange County Association of Realtors, Vietnamese National Association of Real Estate Professionals, Vietnamese American Chamber of Commerce, Orange County Asian American Bar Association, Vietnamese American Bar Association, and National Asian Pacific American Bar Association. To Tumy Carter: congratulations on the new chapter. Few professionals arrive at a deal table having already tried the alternative in front of a jury and won every time, and fewer still make a transition like this one look this natural. Orange County's investors, owners, and tenants just gained a broker who has already seen exactly how the story ends when a deal goes wrong, and has built her entire second career around making sure it does not. Know a leader who deserves this spotlight? This is what we do at Recruiter Hustle: we don't just report the move, we honor the person behind it. If you, your company, or someone you admire just stepped into a new chapter, we want to tell that story right. HEART. HUMAN. HUSTLE.

Cushman & Wakefield has announced the appointment of real estate veteran Gipson Paul as Managing Director for Hyderabad, reinforcing the firm's commitment to one of India's most dynamic commercial real estate markets. The leadership move comes at a time when Hyderabad continues to attract strong occupier demand, investor interest, and large-scale office developments, further cementing its position as a major business destination for domestic and global enterprises. In his new role, Paul will oversee the company's Hyderabad operations and lead growth initiatives across multiple service lines. His responsibilities will include strengthening client relationships, advancing strategic business priorities, and expanding Cushman & Wakefield's market presence in the city. The appointment reflects the increasing importance of Hyderabad within India's commercial property ecosystem, particularly as office leasing, Global Capability Centre (GCC) activity, and institutional investments continue to gain momentum. A veteran leader takes charge. Paul brings more than 25 years of experience in the real estate sector and has worked extensively with occupiers, developers, investors, and government stakeholders throughout his career. Over the years, he has played a significant role in shaping business growth strategies, building client relationships, and developing teams across various real estate functions.

Gary Tasman leaves Cushman & Wakefield for NAI Burns Scalo. * By David Dorsey * Jun 9, 2026 Updated Jun 9, 2026 * 0 Gary Tasman started Cushman & Wakefield Commercial Property Southwest Florida in January 2007. Two years later, he created the first independently owned and operated alliance for the global real estate company in Florida. On June 9, Tasman announced he ended that exclusive alliance agreement and joined another company that recently entered the Florida market. Tasman joined NAI Burns Scalo effective immediately and has been named executive vice president. Over the next week, Cushman & Wakefield leasing and sale signs across Southwest Florida will be rebranded as NAI Burns Scalo. "I'm not going anywhere," said Tasman, who will continue working from the same fifth-floor office at 5220 Summerlin Commons Blvd. in south Fort Myers. His team of 35 employees made the move with him. Tasman said the move will give his team access to additional services, including construction, development and investment advisory capabilities. Tasman is still the broker of record for Skyplex, a master-planned development concept he created while at Cushman & Wakefield on behalf of the Lee County Port Authority, which owns the 680 acres slated for development. "I think you can say we are extremely interested in developing in the Skyplex area," Tasman said. As Tasman considered NAI Burns Scalo President Brian Walker's proposal, he said he realized he could bring more to his role as a broker by joining a company that does more than brokerage. "NAI came in with $100 million initially to invest and $250 million a year over the next five years to invest in Florida," Tasman said. "That's massive. "They approached me. I didn't approach them. The more I saw how it could benefit our community with this kind of talent, the more interested I became. For me, it was an opportunity to do more - faster." NAI Burns Scalo began as a roofing company in 1956 in Pittsburgh, founded by John Scalo and Duke Burns. It has since evolved into a privately owned real estate company with 325 offices in 55 countries. NAI stands for Network of Affiliated Independents. Independent brokers share resources, referrals and market data while maintaining local ownership and leadership - factors Tasman said he found attractive. In addition to brokerage services, Burns Scalo offers property management, construction and development services. NAI Burns Scalo, which also has offices in West Virginia, entered Florida in September 2025 when it opened an office in Tampa. Walker, who previously competed against Burns Scalo in the Pittsburgh market before joining the company three years ago, began recruiting Tasman last year. "We're really excited about the investment opportunities in Southwest Florida," Walker said. "Gary Tasman is so passionate about growth in the market. "We're diversifying into a national growth company. We won't go into any market now without a full array of services." Walker said he was not ready to disclose the company's specific investment plans but said they would cover all major commercial real estate sectors, including office, industrial and retail. "Everybody knows in real estate, real estate's a local business," Walker said. "Gary Tasman has unbelievable real estate relationships. In the last five months, Gulfshore Business has spent a lot of time down here with Gary trying to do it the right way. "We wanted to be a part of this. I'm super excited to be here. We're looking to do something very special in this particular community." Tasman said that once he understood the scope of NAI Burns Scalo's vision and goals, the decision to join the company became easy. "I fully believe that we'll be able to do in a few years what would otherwise take us decades to do - in terms of impacting the community in a positive way and impacting the market in a much more meaningful way," Tasman said. Tasman called June 9 a monumental day. Several NAI Burns Scalo executives visited him in Fort Myers, and he formally submitted his notice to Cushman & Wakefield. "I had already informed them," Tasman said. "They're very aware of it. Gulfshore Business is still going to support them in this market. Gulfshore Business has an excellent arrangement with them. "We now are part of a team that is not only going to support us with data and thoughtful leadership but also help grow the market with capital and a full suite of services."

QuadReal Property Group added Trevor Nakka to its board, bringing over 30 years of international business experience in corporate strategy, governance, capital markets, financial reporting, and audit. Nakka currently serves as the lead client service partner at Deloitte and has extensive board experience with various organizations. Grosvenor Property Canada revamped its senior leadership team with several promotions, including Graham Drexel to chief operating officer and CFO, Robert Duteau to executive vice-president of investment, Michael Ward to executive vice-president of development, and Jane Goode to executive vice-president of people and performance. These strategic moves and innovative partnerships highlight the dynamic nature of the commercial real estate industry, as companies continue to adapt and evolve to meet the changing needs of the market.
