Mark Wizel gone from CBRE Melbourne
Estate agent Mark Wizel has departed CBRE Melbourne.
The departure was mooted ever since the commercial property estate agency poached Sydney agent Simon Rooney from competitor JLL in mid-2019.
Wizel’s Melbourne team was told to focus on smaller shopping centres and offices priced below $75 million, leaving the big listings to Rooney.
“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm my employment with CBRE is at an end,” he told The Age.
CBRE had reportedly drafted rules that ensured Rooney got the trophy listings priced at more than $75 million in any of its state offices.
Rooney started at CBRE on August 1, 2019 after offers from rival groups, including Cushman & Wakefield, becoming executive managing director, retail investments at CBRE.
Wizel's title had been CBRE's National Director of Retail Investments.
Wizel (top) claims to be "a household name" in his as yet unchanged linked profile.
He started with CBRE 13 years ago when he joined from Colliers.
