Greg Haag and Joshua Brown of Haag Brown Commercial Real Estate in Jonesboro will be honored as the Arkansas State University College of Business 2015 Business Executives of the Year at its annual alumni chapter Homecoming breakfast, Saturday, Oct. 3, at 8:30 a.m. in the Hames Room at the Convocation Center, 217 Olympic Drive.
“They have been instrumental in the development of Jonesboro over the past decade,” said Shane Hunt, dean of the College of Business. “Their work can be seen throughout the community. The firm was a finalist for small business of the year for the entire state of Arkansas in both 2012 and 2013.”
Haag and Brown recently funded a scholarship to help College of Business students, Hunt said.
Haag, who attended ASU, is co-owner and principal broker of the business. He is one of three certified commercial investment members (CCIM) in northeast Arkansas and has developed national retail in numerous states, including Arkansas. He also serves on the 2030 committee to help shape the city’s economic growth over the next two decades.
Brown, the youngest CCIM in the state, is an executive broker with the firm. He has received many business awards and is a 2005 ASU graduate.
The firm has been the top commercial broker in sales volume in northeast Arkansas for the last seven years. Some of its local projects include Starbucks, Red Lobster, Longhorn Steakhouse, Panera Bread, Cheddar’s, Academy Sports, Five Guys and Men’s Wearhouse.
“I am very appreciative for the terrific opportunities Greg and Josh have provided our A-State graduates to work for their company,” Hunt said.
