Real Estate Powerhouse Darcy Stacom Exits CBRE After 19 Years to Start Stacom CRE

In a bold move set to shake up the real estate industry, Darcy Stacom, a prominent figure among New York's top investment-sales brokers, has departed CBRE to embark on a new chapter of her career. The seasoned veteran, boasting an impressive 44-year tenure, has joined forces with her longtime partner in business, William M. Shanahan, to establish their own boutique brokerage firm under the name Stacom CRE.

Stacom's rise to prominence began in 2002 when she made her mark at CBRE after an instrumental stint at Cushman & Wakefield. Her arrival at CBRE came hot off the heels of an extraordinary accomplishment at Cushman & Wakefield, where, in 2001, she and Shanahan were instrumental in overseeing property sales amounting to an astounding $1 billion - a feat that cemented their reputation as industry powerhouses. Stacom initially joined Cushman in 1980, laying the foundation for her remarkable career trajectory.
