New York, NY and Basalt, CO; January 26, 2022 – NAI Global President and CEO Jay Olshonsky, FRICS, CCIM, SIOR, announced the addition of a new specialty service that will do business as NAI Outdoor Hospitality Brokers, which is led by veteran broker Bob Kaplan and his Colorado-based team, and as the name implies, specializes in buying and selling RV parks, campgrounds and glamping resorts on behalf of investors throughout the U.S.
“NAI Global is a great platform for specialty park types, giving us the ability to market and sell properties across the country and allows us to cooperate with local agents as well as utilize our national reach. Scalability and growth opportunities afforded by NAI Global is significant, as our team goal is to continue to grow our agent outreach, and this is realistic through NAI Global. The offered broker support and training along with NAI Global’s brand recognition are contributing factors as well,” said Bob Kaplan.
Kaplan and his team of three other agents and an operations manager have 27 years of combined brokerage experience in commercial real estate brokerage, during which time they have closed over 200 transactions valued in excess of $600 million. In 2021, the team closed eighteen transactions in 11 states, totaling over $84 Million in value.
The group’s primary geographical areas are the Rocky Mountains and Western States, Texas, the Southeast and the Northeast. Sample clients include Roberts Communities, KOA Corporation and Sun Communities.
NAI Outdoor Hospitality Brokers is affiliated with ARVC (The National Association of Recreational Parks & Campgrounds), the American Glamping Association, CCLOA the Colorado Campground & Lodging Association) and TACO (the Texas Association of Campground Owners).
“We are very pleased to offer a relatively unique service to our internal client base of NAI offices and brokerage professionals throughout the U.S. states with the addition of NAI Outdoor Hospitality Brokers, as Bob and his team clearly have a proven track record and successful business model. It’s not without precedent, however, and speaks to the strength of our brand in terms of having the flexibility to bring on specialty service practices. A little over a year ago we launched NAI Global Wireless, which is led by a pair of brokers with national reach that markets properties and negotiates with cell-service carriers to build wireless towers to increase broadband services in places that need infrastructure improvements,” said NAI Global Chief Executive Officer Jay Olshonsky.
