CHARLOTTE, NC (APRIL 2010)—Piedmont Properties/CORFAC International, one of the leading commercial real estate service providers in the marketplace, is pleased to announce their current office expansion. Introducing a new broker, Marty McLaughlin, eight months ago as well as additional support personnel, Cathy Smith, two months ago lead them to an immediate need for additional office space. Fortunately, the office condo next door became available for purchase. With the purchase, additional offices were built out while some of the space purchased was leased back to the previous owner, Rita Witt of A Light Appeal. The sale-lease back was a win-win for both parties.
