EDGE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE CONTINUES THE EXPANSION OF ITS ADVISORY GROUP, NAMES ERIK PEDERSEN A SENIOR ASSOCIATE

February 4, 2014 (Bethesda, MD) – EDGE Commercial Real Estate, the leading commercial real estate advisory, management and investment company in the Washington and Baltimore metropolitan areas, announces today that it has appointed Erik Pedersen a Senior Associate at the Bethesda-based firm.

Formerly with Jones Lang LaSalle in Bethesda, Pedersen will join EDGE’s landlord and tenant advisory teams, while focusing on business development as well as providing comprehensive, high-quality services to the company’s existing client base.

His efficiencies in understanding the real estate needs of businesses and other organizations will bring added value to EDGE’s clients, says Joe Sutton, the firm’s Managing Partner.

“We’re extremely pleased that Erik has come on board at EDGE, as we continue to grow by hiring top-notch industry professionals,” Sutton says. “In no short order, we are confident that Erik will play a key role in creating strategies and negotiating transactions to ensure that our clients’ real estate plans align with their corporate objectives.”

Prior to becoming a commercial real estate adviser, Pedersen experienced much success working in sales for various companies, including one of the world's largest construction materials companies, where he managed its national home center business in New England.

Moving up through this firm, he relocated to the D.C. region in 2002, where Pedersen’s group negotiated and developed sustainable solutions for commercial and residential builders as well as developers from Central Virginia to Pennsylvania.

He was then promoted to sales manager for the mid-Atlantic, overseeing a team that specialized in commercial and residential business-to-business sales.

Pedersen, who earned a Bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York at Potsdam, lives in Chevy Chase with his wife, Tifany, and their three children.
