About
Hughes Marino
Corporate Real Estate Advisors
Decades ago, the traditional brokerage model was one where the brokerage represented landlords in negotiations with tenants for commercial space. Hughes Marino recognized that this left tenants unrepresented at the bargaining table where they rarely got a fair shake when negotiating with sophisticated landlords. Hughes Marino decided to change the model. The company opened its San Diego business with the goal of advocating for the rights of the underdog and representing tenants exclusively. The approach caught on and catapulted the company to become the largest exclusive tenant and buyer representation company in the county.
The company proved that focusing exclusively on tenants and buyers is not just a niche. It is the wave of the future for brokerages. Hughes Marino now services clients nationwide. In addition to the San Diego Corporate Headquarters, the company has five offices up the California Coast, and offices in Colorado, Washington and New York.
Jason Hughes is known in the industry for his expertise in transacting leases and purchases of tens of millions of square feet of commercial space. Hughes Marino has flourished under his direction.
