FORT COLLINS — Changes are afoot at one of the area’s most respected commercial real estate firms.

Everitt Companies Real Estate Services is expanding both in personnel and mission.

A development director, Dino DiTullio, has been hired to collect and analyze extensive commercial real estate data and generally update the storage of all information from photographs to plans at Everitt.

Additionally, Tom Livingston and Stuart MacMillan, the firm’s commercial brokers, are broadening their area of emphasis.

“We want to expand and develop our brokerage beyond just what we do for the Everitt Real Estate Services,” MacMillan said. “But we want to do it where we can really add value and focus on really helping that client. We won’t go listing every center.”

Said Livingston, “In the past, we have done project management for clients. And now we’ll do third-party property management.”

The expanded brokerage means the two will focus not just on developing Everitt projects anymore.

“We’ve met with a third party where we’ll help build the building, ” Livingston said. “We can assist them with the owner’s perspective in mind. That can add a lot of value.”

MacMillan said they intend to provide exceptional customer service, and that is where some of DiTullio’s data collection comes in, as well as the work of Rhonda Comen, an assistant with a background in appraising.

“We want extremely comprehensive data collection to understand the big picture as well as trends in construction costs and land sales, for instance,” MacMillan said.

As the commercial arm of The Everitt Cos., MacMillan and Livingston are responsible for leasing all Everitt commercial properties and doing acquisition and development for other arms of The Everitt Cos. The Everitt umbrella owns or manages 1.5 million square feet in Fort Collins.

“That will remain our No. 1 priority,” MacMillan said.
