Prudential CRES Names Industry Veteran William C. Saul as President of Arizona Operations

Prudential CRES Commercial Real Estate, one of the nation's fastest growing commercial real estate networks, welcomes William C. Saul as president of its Arizona operations. Saul will set a clear vision for the firm, oversee commercial real estate opportunities, create an environment conducive to fulfilling goals, and recruit the key talent necessary to meet business objectives.

According to David Illsley, vice president of sales and designated broker for Prudential CRES in Arizona, "We are honored that Bill Saul has joined our staff to lead our brokerage operations. His vision, impressive leadership skills and professional experience will help us meet or exceed our aggressive growth strategies."

Saul formerly was the managing partner at Hendricks and Partners in Phoenix, the largest 100 percent multi-family brokerage and research firm in the United States, where he was a national recruiter, professional sales trainer and an institutional apartment group coordinator. Previously, he was managing director of Colliers International where he increased regional sales from $165 million to $855 million, managed sales representatives and employees, and implemented a training course to speed agents' profitability. Prior to Colliers, Saul was an area partner for JPI Development in Dallas, Texas, where he developed 1,750 apartments over a three-year period and oversaw the design and construction of approximately 150 million square feet of development.

"This is an exciting opportunity for me to transform Prudential CRES into a full-service commercial brokerage firm serving the state of Arizona," says Saul.

Currently, Saul is the chairman of the Board of Directors for Anytown AZ, Inc., an organization dedicated to building stronger communities, and also sits on the Board of Adjustments for the City of Phoenix. He and his wife, Peggy, have been married for 17 years and reside in Phoenix.
