The departures are part of a growing exodus from Grubb & Ellis, which filed for bankruptcy in an acquisition by BGC Partners and informed brokers they wouldn’t be compensated for commissions and other payments they are owed. As The Real Deal reported last week, two Grubb executives joined Lee & Associates, a popular destination for Grubb defectors.

Meanwhile, Cassidy Turley also added Geraldyne Johnson, formerly a financial analyst at Centric Real Estate Advisors, as an associate vice president in its brokerage division. — Adam Fusfeld
