Voit Adds New Hires in Focus on Asset Services

NEWPORT BEACH, CA-Voit Real Estate Services has hired John D. Strockis as executive managing director of asset services and Jeff P. Doan as director of operations as the company, which earlier this year refocused on asset services, expands further in that realm. Strockis will lead a team of portfolio managers, asset managers, property managers and financial analysts in an Asset Services Group that will provide single-point contact service for lenders including banks, insurance companies, special servicers and public-sector entities.

Strockis, a 25-year industry veteran, most recently led the West Coast investment advisory efforts for the Managed Accounts Group of CBRE Investors, where he completed more than 62 transactions totaling more than $2 billion. Previously, he held other positions in CBRE, including managing the business oversight of the CBRE Partners Program with 30 affiliate offices nationally.

Doan, as the new director of operations for Voit Real Estate Services, will be responsible for operational functions related to the company’s multiple business lines. His experience includes conducting leasing and sales analysis process and procedures, financial modeling for debt and equity placements, and creating acquisition and disposition structures as a third-party for firms such as Watermarke Properties, Donahue Schriber, McWhinney, and Integrated Real Estate Resources. He previously served as asset management and development controller for Shea Properties, where he was involved in the placement of more than $1 billion in construction and permanent financing. Earlier in his career, he held positions with the public industrial and apartment REIT Pacific Gulf Properties, Prometheus Development and Western National Property Management.

According to Robert D. Voit, founder and president of Voit Real Estate Services, the new hires are part of the company’s effort to “quickly grow our share of market throughout the region.” He points out that the company, in addition to its expertise as a provider of real estate services, is unique in that it is regional in scope, privately owned and operated, and has been through all the various market cycles since 1971. 

As reported on GlobeSt.com earlier this year, when Voit announced its refocus on its asset services capabilities it added industry veteran Brian Malliet as a partner. Malliet originally joined Voit in 1988 and worked in both brokerage and development for more than a decade prior to founding his own firm, bkm Development, at which he developed or acquired more than 2.8 million square feet, before returning to Voit Real Estate Services as a partner.
