Tim Hague Named President of GVA Advantis

Washington, DC - GVA Advantis, a full service real estate firm based in Washington, DC with 16 offices throughout the southeastern United States, today announced the promotion of Tim Hague to President. He will be located at the firm's DC headquarters.

As President, Hague will direct all geographic expansion and recruiting efforts for the firm. During his 22-year career, Hague has represented many of America's leading corporations in transactions totaling more than $1.2 billion.

"With his focused, entrepreneurial spirit and deep understanding of our business, Tim is the ideal leader to guide GVA Advantis through these challenging times," says Jeff Neal, Chairman and CEO of GVA Advantis.

"Some of the largest corporations in America have chosen GVA Advantis to provide them their real estate services and, given the current challenges facing our publicly-traded competitors, we see that trend accelerating," says Hague. "My goal is to ensure that GVA Advantis continues to gain the attention of investors, owners, corporations and brokers who want solutions to problems and recommendations for growth and profitability."

As GVA Advantis continues to expand its presence in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, it is well positioned to attract top talent from larger, global firms and provide a more focused service solution to companies that require a firm with a strong regional presence.

Prior to joining GVA Advantis, Hague served as Senior Vice President and Regional Manager of Equis Corporation's Washington, DC office as well as Vice President at the Charles E. Smith Companies. In addition to his role at GVA Advantis, Hague is President of The First Tee of Washington, DC and Co-Chairman of Ski DC.
