History of the Firm |
|
Jim York and Doug
Stanfield met through a mutual retired friend that had been
responsible for the real estate portfolio of Mutual of New York (MONY)
in the Southeast United States. Jim had been investing in land
syndications and was holding together partnerships that had
difficulties in the real estate recession of 1974. Doug had worked
with the retired gentleman at Murray and Associates, a commercial
real estate firm from 1971-1975. After Doug accepted the position as
Vice President and Managing Broker of Clover Realty’s Commercial
Division, he sold a strip center to Jim and a partner that was held
for several years and sold for a profit. From that and other
successful transactions, Jim York and Doug Stanfield decided to form
The Stanfield York Company to serve clients and partners in the
acquisition, management, leasing and/or development of income
producing properties. Through the efforts of Jim York supervising
the investments and to find quality investment partners that
understood risk, as well as rewards, and Doug Stanfield to acquire,
analyze and manage the assets, as well as, conduct brokerage
activities, the complimenting talents have enabled the firm to
prosper since 1979. |
