Voit Real Estate Services Announces Top Producers and Rising Star for 2014


Jason Gallelli
Newport Beach, CA (Feb. 17, 2014) – Voit Real Estate Services recently announced its Top Producers and Rising Star for 2014.

 “We are proud to recognize our top brokerage professionals who have achieved the highest levels of success,” commented Eric Hinkelman, Executive Managing Director for Voit.

Voit Real Estate Services’ company-wide top producer in 2014 was Jason Gallelli, Executive Vice President in Voit’s Sacramento office. This was Jason’s second year in a row as Voit’s company-wide top producer and in 2013, Jason was the number one broker in all of Sacramento.

 The Sacramento Broker of the Year awards will be in March when the 2014 broker standings will be announced. 

Jason was named the Sacramento Association of Commercial Real Estate’s overall #1 broker for all brokerage companies in the region in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013.

Walt Chenoweth

Jason specializes in retail and has more than 23 years of experience in Commercial Real Estate. At Voit, he leads a 7-member team and attributes his immense success to hard work, anticipation of client demands and an amazing team, who shares the same vision and expectations.

“I would not be in this position if it wasn’t for my team,” stated Jason.  “I am so fortunate to work with a group of people who share my vision, are so loyal and have such a complete understanding of what they do individually and as a whole.  We are always looking for ways to improve what we do and find better ways to translate our continued efficiencies into success for our clients.”

The rest of the top 10 producers at Voit for 2014 included the following (in alphabetical order):

Seth Davenport, Senior Vice President in Anaheim, Walt Chenoweth, Executive Vice President in Inland Empire, Frank Geraci, Executive Vice President in Inland Empire, Mike Hefner, Executive Vice President in Anaheim, Kevin Higgins, Executive Vice President in Las Vegas, Garrett Toft, Senior Vice President in Las Vegas, Greg Velastegui, Senior Vice President in Irvine and Mitch Zehner, Executive Vice President in Anaheim.

Seth Davenport
Frank Geraci, Executive Vice President in Voit’s Inland Empire office and the top brokerage professional in the combined markets of Inland Empire and Los Angeles, specializes in Industrial leasing and sales and attributes his success to never being satisfied with the status quo. 

“The industrial market has been kind to any buyer, seller or broker that participates in the process, and I have been one of those people,” commented Frank.  

“2014 was another record year for Industrial in southern California and I am confident that 2015 will be a repeat of last year’s performance, with a lot of help from overseas’ capital and the growth of the nascent e-commerce and mobile commerce industry which is radically affecting space needs as more consumers avoid bricks and mortar retail and make their purchases from mobile.

 "Voit’s Inland Empire office is well-positioned to help investors, tenants, developers and sellers capitalize on these dynamics.” 

Mitch Zehner
The 2014 top producer at Voit in the Las Vegas region was Kevin Higgins, Executive Vice President. Kevin has been with Voit since 2002 and specializes in business park investments and leasing. 

Kevin and his fellow Voit Las Vegas team member, Garrett Toft, Senior Vice President, were both named Top Nevada Brokers in 2014 by Nevada Business Magazine.

“2014 was a pivotal year for the Higgins & Toft team as well as for the Las Vegas Industrial market,” according to Kevin.

 “Prologis broke ground on the first speculative industrial development in over 7 years. Our team represented Prologis on the pre-leasing on that 464,000 square-foot distribution facility while still under construction. 

"The Higgins & Toft team members are helping others make the transition from distressed property acquisitions to core acquisitions and new development. Las Vegas will see a great deal of speculative development over the next 12 to 24 months and we are excited to be at the forefront of this next phase in our market.”

Garrett Toth
In January, Ryan Miller, Senior Associate in Voit’s Inland Empire office was named Voit’s 2014 Rising Star. 

By receiving this designation, Ryan has also been invited to the company’s annual broker incentive trip with Voit’s top producers company-wide. 

This year’s trip will be to the five-diamond Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa in Rancho Santa Fe, ranked #1 in U.S. News & World Report’s annual ranking of top hotels in the nation.

Ryan began his career with Voit in late 2008 in the heart of one of the most severe economic recessions our country has ever endured.  

  After completing his training in Irvine, Ryan moved to Voit’s Inland Empire office, where he excelled despite the extreme challenges of the market at the time and has quickly proven himself to be an integral team member in his office and to the company.

Since 2011 Ryan has nearly doubled his income every year and truly found his groove in 2014.  Ryan’s work ethic and his confidence to pick up the phone and communicate with any type of client is unmatched within his peer group.

Frank Geraci
  Confidence and humility are rarely displayed by the same individual in this business and Ryan embraces both.  

He is the first to give credit to a teammate and the first to recognize areas of improvement in his life both personally and professionally.   

He inspires those around him by not taking himself too seriously and with the positive energy he brings to the workplace.

According to his Managing Director, Ian Britton, “Ryan’s ability to share, grow and invest both in himself and others will only continue to serve him well as he matures in his career.  

"He is a great example of the type of professional we are proud to have carrying the Voit flag.”
