Just as buyers’ agents have carved out a niche in the residential real estate industry, Boston-based Cresa has grown by specializing in tenant representation in commercial deals.

The company is focusing on international expansion in 2016, opening a new office in Paris and planning five more offices outside the U.S. this year. Cresa’s CEO from 2006 through 2013, Goade retired as chairman on March 31.
