An appraisal company in Anchorage is dissolved now that its team joined a global real estate services and investment firm. CBRE Valuation & Advisory Services is solidifying its services in Alaska by hiring three appraisal professionals from North Pacific Advisors.
Experienced Team
Greg Wing becomes a senior vice president with CBRE Valuation & Advisory services. Wing has owned North Pacific Advisors in Anchorage since 2007. He previously founded the commercial appraisal firm Howard & Wing in 1997. Wing has more than thirty years of experience as a commercial real estate consultant.
Wing’s team at North Pacific Advisors is joining him at CBRE. Shane Smith and Mike Gibson both take on the role of senior appraisers.

Altogether, the team is credited with more than 2,000 commercial appraisals across Alaska for a variety of property types including multifamily, office, retail, industrial, special-purpose facilities, and raw land.
