CORONA DEL MAR, Calif. – Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors, a nationally recognized real estate brokerage and advisory firm specializing in retail property sales, announced today that the firm has been named a 2026 GlobeSt. Retail Real Estate Influencer, recognizing its national leadership, innovation and measurable impact on the retail investment sector.

Hanley Investment Group is widely regarded as one of the most influential retail real estate brokerage firms in the country, shaping pricing expectations, expanding investor demand and redefining how retail assets are positioned and sold nationwide. With more than $12.8 billion in retail property sales since its founding, the firm has built a national platform that consistently delivers market‑defining results across single‑tenant, multi‑tenant and anchored retail categories.

A hallmark of Hanley’s influence is its pioneering work in break-up sale strategies, enabling owners to maximize value by selling outparcels and pads individually. This approach has reshaped how developers structure leases, phase construction and plan long‑term exit strategies, often achieving 50-100 basis-point spreads compared to selling assets as a whole.

Hanley has also played a pivotal role in advancing multiple retail categories, including convenience stores and gas stations, medical and dental, express car washes, auto services, childcare and learning centers, and EV charging. The firm is a recognized national leader in the sale of grocery‑anchored centers, expanding private‑buyer participation, compressing cap rates and establishing new pricing standards in both primary and secondary markets.

In the junior-box-anchored segment — traditionally dominated by REIT buyers — Hanley has driven a significant shift by selling 13 centers totaling 2 million square feet and valued at approximately $300 million to private investors over the past two years, including seven transactions in the last nine months of 2025.

The firm’s national reach is equally influential. Hanley has built a proven track record of sourcing California private capital for assets across the Midwest, Southeast, Mountain West and Texas, strengthening asset values and expanding private‑buyer demand. This cross‑regional capital movement has reshaped pricing expectations and broadened the buyer pool for retail assets nationwide.

Over the past three years, Hanley has completed approximately $2.63 billion in retail investment sales, including a record $1.11+ billion in 2025 and 3.2 million square feet sold. More than half of the firm’s business comes from repeat clients, underscoring its long-term advisory relationships and its ability to execute under tight timelines, including complex 1031 exchanges.

Hanley Investment Group’s 2026 recognition continues a multi-year pattern of GlobeSt. honors across both the Retail and Net Lease categories. Executive Vice President and Partner Jeff Lefko and Executive Vice President Bill Asher were also named 2026 GlobeSt. Net Lease Influencers, extending an unbroken streak of annual GlobeSt. Influencer recognition for the firm and its leaders since 2020. Chief Operations Officer Tiffanie Farr was additionally recognized as a 2026 GlobeSt. Woman of Influence, further highlighting the firm’s leadership strength and sustained industry impact.
