Newmark Knight Frank is pleased to welcome Senior Managing Director Gil Licudine to the Valuation & Advisory group as National Leader of the firm’s Property Tax Group. In this capacity, Licudine will grow the practice by pursuing new business and cross-selling across the many platforms NKF has to offer, including Global Corporate Services, Capital Markets and Property Management to name a few.
Throughout his career, Licudine has assisted clients in all phases of the property tax cycle: pre-acquisition due diligence, assessment review and appeals, informal negotiations with assessing officials and presentations before formal boards of review. He has managed regional and national portfolios of properties for a variety of clients including real estate investment trusts, institutional real estate investors, retailers, manufacturers and banks.
“The opportunity to build and grow a national property tax practice from the ground up with a firm like NKF and the support of the V&A leadership is really unprecedented,” said Licudine.“I’m excited to be able to work alongside the best people in the industry and build out the rest of our national practice with strategic acquisitions and more hires. The reception we’ve received in the marketplace has been stellar; property owners appreciate that the single-most important factor in the success of an assessment appeal is valuation expertise, and the talent that NKF has assembled is unparalleled. I can’t wait to see what our future holds.”
“Gil has proven himself to be a demonstrated leader and expert property tax professional, serving a multitude of diverse clients across the country,” commented V&A President John Busi. “We are committed to growing a multidimensional property tax practice and will assemble the top talent in the US for this specialized team as we perpetuate best-in-class service for NKF’s growing V&A practice.”
Licudine has been joined by new members in the rapidly expanding Valuation & Advisory Practice: Managing Director Jonathan Sanders located in Houston, TX;Managing Director Patty Richards and Senior Administrative Assistant Weslee Davis, both in Chicago, IL; and Director of Business Development Bob Trigg, located in St. Louis, MO.
