Meet Jay Diskin CCIM, SIOR. Diskin, president and CEO of GVA IPC is a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) and Society of Industrial Office Realtors (SIOR). "Our people are our greatest asset," says Diskin. "Our team values education and takes pride in the CCIM and SIOR initials that follow many of our agents' names. These designations reflect our commitment to education, professionalism, integrity, and know-how."
GVA IPC is a full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm with specialization in the sale and leasing of office, retail, apartment, and industrial properties. They have been serving Carlsbad for more than five years and recently affirmed its commitment to the area by joining the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce.
GVA IPC's main headquarters are in the University Towne Center area of San Diego, and a second office is located in Carlsbad. With more than 30 years of real estate success, GVA IPC brings to the area a depth and breadth of experience unique to the industry.
Ranked among the top 100 fastest-growing commercial real estate brokerage firms in San Diego (according to the San Diego Business Journal, September 2005), GVA IPC completed 282 transactions last year totaling $250 million. By the end of the year, the company expects to complete more than 300 transactions valued at approximately $300 million.
Although many of the firm's brokers have achieved national recognition through their industry designations, the real measure of success comes from GVA IPC's long list of satisfied clients, which include building owners, developers, investors, and tenants.
For example, R. R. "Red" Robinson, owner of The Carlsbad Trade Center located at the foot of State Street in Redevelopment Area 4, recently worked with GVA IPC agents and brokers in the marketing and sale of the trade center. "The folks at GVA IPC really know what they're doing!" said Robinson. "They effectively marketed the trade center in an unbelievably short amount of time, and at the right price. Because of their professional approach and staying on top of all the details, this potentially difficult transaction was simple and painless. I couldn't imagine the sale going any smoother."
