Jackson Claborn (JCI) to Join Integra Realty Resources (IRR) in Dallas-Ft. Worth market
Over the past 25 years, Jackson Claborn (JCI) has competed quite effectively against a wide array of large as well as small real estate consulting firms for market share in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. As a result, JCI has grown to be one of the largest independently owned real estate consulting firms in the Southwest United States. As such, a vast number of employees as well as management have enjoyed tremendous success at JCI.
The opportunity to join Integra Realty Resources (IRR) was evaluated closely from many angles. JCI's top management personnel attended IRR's Spring 2017 shareholders meeting and were able to interface directly with IRR's top brass/ leadership as well as many of the IRR partners across the US. It was quite evident that IRR possesses a culture that displays a high degree of professionalism and a commitment to providing their clients with the best consulting expertise. Major enticements to JCI was the cutting edge IRR software technology platform as well as IRR's vast data base that covers every real estate property type. These two factors have made it possible for IRR to grow specialized practice groups across the country much like the leading international accounting firms. It is clear to JCI that IRR's consulting platform is and will remain well advanced past the industry norm for the real estate valuation consulting industry. The benefit of being able to generate localized research reports for all property types for our clients as well as the ability to consult with and brainstorm with the top valuation peers in the industry across the country in 60 major markets was deemed to be a strategic move that was necessary for the next phase of JCI's corporate advancement. The entire staff and management of JCI all welcome the game changing opportunity to align with IRR. The residential consulting side of Jackson Claborn, Inc. will not be part of the Integra platform and will remain unchanged.
