With more than 50 commercial real estate transactions completed
in less than five years, Nashman is a self-driven and highly motived
force in sales, acquisitions, and leasing services.
He serves as a board of director member of the Florida CCIM Chapter

that understands and supports these important causes,” Nashman says.
Wade Greene, CCIM
Vice President of Retail Ser-
vices, Age 28
Transwestern
Houston
Greene has made a career of
using his networking talents to
explore a variety of market sectors.
Taking advantage of CCIM events,
he estimates that more than 50 percent of his client meetings
occur there.
“They say that you come to CCIM Institute for the education
but stay for the networking, and that’s absolutely true,” Greene
says. “CCIM events are ideal places to meet prospective clients
who may not be in your market but should be.”
Passionate about conservation, he is engaged with the Coastal
Conservation Association, German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue
Texas, and Delta Waterfowl.

Already a past president of the

tion in representing national tenants in
renewals, expansions, site selection, general

top producer within her company.
She also is a passionate advocate of industry education and
has already established a chair at the University of Texas — a
major accomplishment regardless of age.
“I hope to have the opportunity to serve on a board of a
nonprofit soon,” Sheikh says. “Balancing professional suc-
cess along with consistent philanthropy is something I strive
to achieve.”

mercial Group, where he manages 15 sales agents and a prop-

balances his work and life. On the life side, he is actively involved with the Nevada
Bighorns Unlimited, which has reintroduced three species of bighorn sheep into
more than 60 mountain ranges in Nevada.
