Ty Martin, ’19

I am a Managing Partner with the McCann Commercial Real Estate Team. We are a "startup" arm of the Mike McCann Team, the #1 real estate team in the Greater Philadelphia Area, with almost $3 billion sold. Today I handle all of the growth of our commercial real estate arm of our team.

After earning my MBA, I launched into the commercial real estate industry at a small boutique real estate firm. After spending some time there as a real estate broker, it was evident that I wanted to not just transact on real estate deals, but to build my own firm. A residential real estate agent that I know connected me with Mike McCann, "The Real Estate Man." I was able to bring my experience as a commercial real estate broker along with my knowledge from my MBA to join forces with Mike and launch McCann Commercial Real Estate.

I was working in the vehicle supply chain industry when I enrolled for my MBA. I knew I wanted to cross into a career in sales, but wasn't sure of which industry. My MBA concentration was in finance, which opened me up to the way that money really moved in the United States (and the world). I realized over, and over, and over again that commercial real estate was so heavily involved in the finance world. As I leaned into my MBA even more, I continued to pair my education with Saint Joe's and apply it to my interest in Commercial Real Estate. I then reached out to a local commercial real estate firm, started working there, and have been a producer in the industry ever since. Today I lean on my MBA experience to build every aspect of our business.

I see St. Joe's to be a titan in the commercial real estate industry. Our school produces knowledgeable eager, and well-networked talent both flowing out of the undergraduate and graduate programs. I've proudly hired multiple SJU students as interns. We expect multiple students to join us full time after graduation. I can't wait to see what the future holds!
