DALLAS — Colliers International has acquired Conger and Sutherland Enterprises (CASE) Commercial Real Estate Partners. Dallas-based CASE was formed when Tom Sutherland and John Conger acquired GVA Cawley from Dallas real estate investor and developer Bill Cawley in April of 2008. Sutherland and Conger have grown the company to 50 employees, serving both tenants and investors, since the acquisition. Both firms are active in investment sales, but CASE caters more to private capital, according to Colliers’ regional manager David Pinsel. The deal takes Colliers from about 45 local brokers to about 80, with more than 180 total employees in Dallas and Fort Worth. CASE will be rebranded as Colliers International, and its Dallas team will move to Colliers’ Uptown office at 1717 McKinney Ave. in the coming months. Colliers International is a subsidiary of FirstService Corp., which generates about $2.7 billion in annual revenue and has more than 24,000 employees worldwide.
