May 10, 2011 BAILEY TO DIRECT WEITZMAN INVESTMENT SALES IN CENTRAL TEXAS, THE VALLEY AUSTIN—Bradley Bailey, a commercial real estate professional with a record of sales force management and retail investment sales success, has been named Senior Vice President and Director of Investment Sales for Central Texas and The Valley for The Weitzman Group, one of the leading commercial/retail brokerage services firms in Texas. Bailey will work with Lance Morris, president of The Weitzman Group in Austin, and David Nicolson, president of Weitzman’s San Antonio office. Both Morris and Nicolson have extensive investment sales experience in Texas. “While we have had much success in selling shopping centers, development land, ground leases and single-tenant retail buildings, we are by and large in the leasing business. Having someone like Brad Bailey concentrating solely on income-producing properties in Austin and San Antonio should help expand our services to our retail clients here in Austin and surrounding areas,” said Morris. Nicolson, whose office covers the Valley, noted, “Brad will be called upon by our existing team of Central Texas brokers to add deeper investment expertise for the services they provide their clients. He is a very respected Investment Broker in Central and South Texas, and we look forward to having him add to the tradition of excellence our brokers have in the market. The timing of Brad joining our firm could not be better.  The real estate investment market activity has increased significantly in 2011."

He then joined the company’s Austin and San Antonio offices in 2005 as regional manager. In Austin and San Antonio, Bailey directed brokerage teams that closed over $233 million in commercial transactions, and he personally handled more than $72 million in investment sales.
