Prior to joining Verti, Drane held several brokerage and executive roles with both privately held brokerage platforms and a publicly traded investment sales firm, where he served as a market leader.

Throughout his career, Drane has collaborated with hundreds of investment sales professionals and loan originators nationwide. As a market leader, he led an operation of more than 120 investment sales and capital markets professionals, achieving over $1 billion in annual sales volume.

I look forward to working with this talented team, including partners such as Zeke Liston, who joined us in anticipation of what we are building. The future of brokerage is bright and I’m particularly excited to incorporate REVOLT CRE, which will be a cornerstone of broker development and training for Verti.”
