Gregory Farhat, President & Broker
Farhat founded Jameson Real Estate Services in 2011 and has been the active President ever since. With a strong passion for doing business with good principles in the Greater Lansing area, Gregory has evolved his campaign of real estate acquisitions and management to buyer/tenant representation as a State of Michigan licensed real estate broker.
Gregory's experience in the real estate and development industry started in 2003 in residential development in DeWitt, Michigan while attending Michigan State University. After some poor experiences with landlords as a student tenant, Farhat was determined to provide and manage housing that benefited the tenants as much as the landlord. These residential investments were in the City of Lansing, focusing on long term tenancy. He is an active member of the community, specifically with local non-profits: Allen Neighborhood Center (Board Members and Owner’s Representative), Boys and Girls Club of Lansing (Finance Committee), Ele's Place and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
The bigger picture of real estate is kept sharp with Gregory's career at Jackson National Life Insurance where he is responsible for the corporate real estate functions nationwide. This amasses to over 1.2M square feet managed. Before his career in corporate real estate experience at Jackson, Gregory was the senior project manager at The Christman Company for six years. With a variety of clients in discipline and geography, he was involved with approximately $250M of commercial development and construction with Christman.
