RETS Associates (RETS), a leading national real estate recruiting firm serving the Denver area since 2011, today announced the opening of its new office in downtown Denver, Colorado. Located at 1550 Wewatta Street, the new location positions RETS at the epicenter of the seventh most attractive market in the Western Hemisphere for real estate investment, according to a recent report from CBRE. Having dedicated office space in Denver will enable the firm to best serve new and existing clients’ growing demand for real estate talent in the region.
Three members of the RETS management team will call the Denver office home.
Jessica MacNaughton – Recently joining the team as a director, MacNaughton brings nearly two decades of experience in commercial real estate brokerage, business development, marketing and research.

Her past experience at a boutique firm serving in a wide array of roles, The Irvine Company and Bixby Land Company have given her a diversity of experience that lends to her success in recruiting with RETS today.
Jana Turner – Principal Jana Turner will begin splitting her time between the Denver office and the firm’s headquarters in Newport Beach, which recently relocated to 4100 MacArthur Blvd.
