Why Broadwing

When I launched this company in 2013, I wanted to give it a name that paid homage to my family. In search of inspiration, I turned to a birding book that belonged to my parents. Flipping through, the broad-winged hawk caught my eye.

To me, “broad-wing” nicely referenced the broad view of commercial real estate that I intended to take: a view that would prioritize my clients’ business objectives.

So, I adopted the name.

Shortly after, it became clear that I had made the right decision. On my second day in business, my neighbor sent me a picture of something he had never seen before: a stately broad-winged hawk, perched on a tree in my backyard. That was a clear sign if there’s ever been one.”
