Gregory J. Laskody, CCIM Launches Full-service Boutique CRE Firm with Proprietary All-virtual Platform

Gregory J. Laskody, CCIM, Managing Principal of HAUTE Commercial Real Estate, LLC, has launched a full-service boutique CRE firm featuring a proprietary ‘all-virtual’ platform that: 1) provides the marketplace representation as a true fiduciary; 2) streamlines the entire CRE brokerage process through a proprietary “cloud-based” technology platform that eliminates the need for support personnel, redundancies, marketing teams, and related overhead, and; 3) passes those benefits to team members via higher internal commissions, while at the same time greatly reducing the timeline in CRE investment sales, capital markets, and leasing transactions. HAUTE is a full- service, white-glove boutique brand predominantly providing investment sales and capital markets brokerage and advisory services, while also providing tenant/landlord representation as well as customized client-based solutions.

The company is leveraging proprietary technology it had developed to bring greater automation to the investment sales, capital markets, and leasing verticals of its CRE transaction and advisory business. “It’s no secret that technology is rapidly and vastly impacting how all business is conducted in the CRE space, and this trend is only expected to continue and accelerate into the future,” said Gregory J. Laskody, CCM, HAUTE’s Managing Principal. “With this model, everyone benefits – our team members receive above-market level splits as operational savings are passed through, and the client experiences a far more centralized, streamlined, and controlled transaction experience that delivers far greater speed and certainty of execution,” Laskody said.

HAUTE currently services a diverse mix of clientele, from: investors, developers, and property owners; capital providers and lending institutions; law, public accounting, and financial planning firms; and hedge funds, private high- and ultra-high net worth family offices. The company is currently hiring and intends to expand throughout the state of Florida while continuing to create and adopt elements of technology that further streamline and bring greater efficiencies to the CRE transaction marketplace. HAUTE currently services Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River Counties.

Laskody has over 33 years of CRE experience throughout the South Florida landscape and has been involved in over $3.0 billion of commercial real estate transactions since graduating from the renowned and nationally ranked Real Estate program of the College of Business at The Florida State University. Throughout his career, he has held production, leadership, management, and executive positions with some of the most notable companies in CRE, such as: Deloitte; Nomura Capital; The Capital Company of America; Wells Fargo; Q10 Capital; Newmark Grubb Knight Frank; Colliers International; and Lee & Associates. He is also the 2020 and 2021 President of the East Coast District of the Florida CCIM Chapter.
