Jamie Covello Biography

Nationally recognized as a leader throughout the real estate industry, Jamie Covello's career has always included building an unparalleled book of business and seamlessly fostering close corporate relationships.

 

Jamie applies her many years of national and global experience in strategic planning, deal management, and negotiations in all aspects of commercial real estate, including corporate occupier advisory, portfolio rationalization, and portfolio-wide transaction management. Jamie's years of experience in the local New York City market have resulted in a wide array of transactional wisdom that she consistently applies in the competitive management of each stage of lease negotiations and/or capital markets acquisitions, benefiting her local and global clients.

 

While Jamie's focus includes high-growth and emerging companies, Fortune 500 companies and household name brands have been long-term clients. Jamie's trusted and extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, pre-acquisition due diligence, and headquarters rationalization results in secure, efficient closings for her clients.

 

Jamie was one of the early leaders in the practice of exclusive national representation, which consists of expertise beyond brokerage. These areas include workplace programming, architecture, project management, appraisal, and structured finance. Her success is grounded in the single point of contact model (SPOC) as a trusted advisor. Jamie became a Principal for the last 15 years of her 30-year tenure until they transitioned into a public entity. Cushman & Wakefield relied on Jamie's expertise in the yearly planning of the corporate-wide annual meeting. She was also active on the steering committee of Artemis and was honored to chair the Cushman & Wakefield Ethics Committee.

More recently, Jamie Covello, LLC has added hospitality expertise to its services in partnership with a premier firm, Ironstone Group to serve clients requiring all aspects of acquisition, disposition, equity, and debt sourcing, along with brand selection.

  

Passions include macro paradigm shifts in the corporate environment, emerging convergent technologies, and consensus building for common ground trends in politics.
