West Harris, CCIM and Norman Tynes have acquired Harbert Realty Services. The company will now operate as Harris Tynes Commercial Real Estate. Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, the firm will continue serving the Southeast and beyond.

The company will operate as an independent, broker-led organisation while maintaining its existing offices, service teams and client relationships. The firm will continue providing brokerage, leasing and property management services across the office, retail, multifamily, industrial and medical sectors.

Norman Tynes, CEO of Harris Tynes Commercial Real Estate, said, “Acquiring this firm and restoring the Harris Tynes name is a full-circle moment. Independent ownership gives us full decision-making authority and the opportunity to shape the company’s future. Most of all, it lets us build the firm around what we know best: serving institutional and private property owners and investors with experience, responsiveness and a long-term perspective.”

West Harris, CCIM, president of Harris Tynes Commercial Real Estate, said, “We have managed, leased and sold properties throughout our careers, so we understand the work from every side of the business. Our team brings expertise across brokerage, leasing and property management, offering clients the depth of a larger platform with the agility of an independent firm. That combination gives us room to grow without losing the direct, senior-level attention our clients count on.”

The firm’s growth strategy focuses on expanding services and adding professionals in existing and key growth markets. Across the organisation, leadership will continue recruiting experienced commercial real estate professionals and training practitioners entering the field.
