Gail McDonough has been hired as a broker in Apartment Realty Advisors’ Boston office, the company announced in a statement.

In this role, McDonough joins current broker, Terry Scott, and principal, Richard Robinson, of ARA’s Boston office in selling apartment communities on behalf of institutional and private multihousing investors.

"She brings a keen sense of business with the institutional sales process and investing expertise which comes from being part of Jones Lang LaSalle’s Boston investment sales team and prior to that, acquisitions for TA Associates Realty and The Archon Group," Robinson said.

McDonough most recently served as principal of Magnolia Realty Capital LLC and prior to that, she held the position of SVP/National Director for Jones Lang LaSalle. She is a graduate of the MIT Center for Real Estate.

"The high caliber of ARA’s Boston team and the depth and quality of the ARA national platform made my decision to join an easy one," McDonough said. "I am excited by the opportunity to focus on multi-family transactions as the market continues to stabilize and recover."

Atlanta-based Apartment Realty Advisors is a privately held, full-service investment advisory brokerage firm focusing exclusively on the multihousing industry.
