Karl “Dee” Maret, CCIM, managing director of Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT, Florida, has been appointed to the company’s prestigious National Advisory Board.

While not a decision-making body, the purpose of the Advisory Board is to provide a central forum for the exchange of ideas between CBC franchisees and the organization’s corporate leadership.

Each member of the Advisory Board serves as a liaison for their respective region, providing updates on the latest developments, policies and services, as well as reporting and proposing actions to resolve any issues. The board has proved to be a successful means of driving innovation and gaining critical insight into the evolving needs of overall CBC strategies.

“CBC offers an ideal climate for success—a blend of seasoned and well-connected associates complemented by newer associates building their careers under the guidance of the company’s commercial professional development programs,” said Maret. “It is a privilege to contribute to the efforts by serving on the Advisory Board.”

Maret, who affiliated with Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT in 2007, has represented buyers, tenants, sellers and landlords in all major commercial sectors.
