Sands Investment Group has appointed Clifford Moskowitz as National Executive Managing Director, adding a senior brokerage leader to its executive team as the commercial real estate advisory firm pushes for national scale.
The firm, which trades as SIG and describes itself as a full service commercial real estate advisory business, announced the appointment on 28 October 2026.
Moskowitz joins the executive leadership team, and his remit is growth. SIG said he will help accelerate its expansion across the country and position it as a leading commercial real estate services company, while preserving the entrepreneurial culture it has built. Setting out his own priorities, Moskowitz pointed to attracting senior advisers, opening in new markets and offices, and identifying service lines and asset classes that would strengthen the platform.
He arrives from NAI Global, where he spent 11 years as executive vice president for North America. In that role he concentrated on developing new business and on driving business between the network's offices, and he helped shape its growth strategy. That network takes in more than 300 offices worldwide and some 5,800 real estate professionals, which gives Moskowitz experience of coordinating a distributed brokerage footprint at a scale well beyond most regional firms.
Chris Sands, the founder and chief executive of SIG, framed the hire around that background, noting that Moskowitz has spent his career working across complex and entrepreneurial commercial real estate organisations.
The appointment is a structural signal as much as a personnel one. The language of the announcement sets growth against continuity, pairing national expansion and a push into new markets with an explicit commitment to keeping the culture the firm says draws advisers to it. Managing that tension is the substance of the job, and it is the reason an advisory firm of this kind creates an executive role above the producing ranks rather than simply recruiting more brokers.
The scope of the title is worth noting in its own right. A national executive managing director sits across markets rather than inside one, which separates responsibility for where a firm competes from responsibility for how individual transactions are executed. For a brokerage that is adding offices, that separation is what allows expansion to be planned rather than opportunistic, and it gives the founder a counterpart who owns the growth agenda day to day.
The firm did not state a reporting line for the role beyond membership of the executive leadership team, and it named no predecessor, which indicates the position is newly created rather than a succession. Nor did it attach a timetable to the national expansion the appointment is meant to drive.
