Area of expertise
Russ has built a career partnering with the
decision-makers of leading organizations in
Atlanta and the Southeast to make great real
estate decisions.
He understands optimal real estate is
realized by not only achieving creative lease
terms and favorable pricing, but also
ensuring that the facility will mirror a
business’ operational, labor and strategic
needs. As one of Colliers International
Atlanta’s senior principals, Russ guides his
clients through this process. He understands
the business goals of his client, defines
workplace requirements, maps desired labor
markets, outlines budget parameters, and
presents options that best reflect the
branding and strategy of his clients.
Russ is the quarterback of the process,
bringing team members with needed
expertise to execute on the plan. Russ’
attention to detail, deep understanding of his
clients’ business, holistic leadership, and
industry expertise create loyal clients and
make him a leader in his field.
During the past 30 years, Russ has
completed transactions totaling more than
four and a half million square feet for clients
such as DS Services, General Electric
Corporation, Birch Communications, The
Hartford, Miller & Martin Law Firm, Georgia
Society for CPAs, IMG Worldwide, and Crown
Castle International.

Representative clients and projects
“Russ, you and your Colliers
team efforts have been truly
phenomenal. We selected
Colliers because of its
passion for excellence and
its commitment to its clients.
You have met and exceeded
our expectations and we are
very grateful. Good hard
working folks are sometimes
a rare breed. I am glad to
have the word spread relative
to your contributions to our
success.”
Ron Frieman
Chief Financial Officer
DS Services
“One of the main reasons
we selected Russ and his
Colliers team was their local
ownership model being
unique among the larger
brokerage firms. With their
focus primarily in the Atlanta
marketplace, we felt we could
get quick decisions from the
actual owners of the firm who
were in our city. That gave
us real comfort.”
