What the industry says about us...

“Connor Group is a great company and a pleasure to work with from over a decade of experience. As a broker I love selling Connor Group properties as they are a rare 100% get it done buyer. As a potential acquisition candidate, it’s a great opportunity as Connor Group is very active, has the equity in hand, and is willing to provide the strong terms like non-refundable deposits to win deals. I really value the relationships, friendships, and the way that Connor Group conducts business. I highly recommend any acquisition candidate to consider the job opportunity as you will have all the tools at your disposal to win deals in a highly competitive environment.”

“This is the single best investment I have made in my life. I was able to retire and do what I’m passionate about because I invested in The Connor Group.”

- George WissingInvestor since 1998

“Connor Group is the most dynamic firm we work with because every teammate shares a passion for being the absolute best in the industry. This collective vision drives the group to be among the most innovative and ambitious in the country. This comes from a truly unique belief in its people, who are empowered to take calculated risks and to make bold decisions. Few companies afford the opportunity to have an impact on an industry the way Connor Group does, and we are proud to count them among our most significant relationships.”

- JP Conklin President and Founder of Pensford and LoanBoss Charlotte, NC

“As one of the most active investment sales and financing firms, Newmark works with the world’s leading multifamily owners & operators. Connor Group has built a reputation of being one of the most entrepreneurial, creative, forward-thinking and trustworthy multifamily owners in our industry. Connor group is a leader and pioneer and one of the most creative owners in this space. Newmark is proud to partner with this incredible company and its founder Larry Connor.”

- Anthony OrsoPresident of Capital Markets - Newmark New York, NY

“There are many people who think of real estate, particularly the apartment industry, as slow and old-fashioned. They have not likely looked at the multifamily industry today nor have they encountered Larry Connor and The Connor Group. Larry and his team have a passion and vision for the business and a well-earned reputation for execution – they are driven not only to achieve success but to make their mark on a changing landscape. It has been a great pleasure working with Larry and his team for the better part of the last 20 years and watching their tremendous growth and success. I suspect there is much more yet to come.”

- David BrickmanCEO of NewPoint and Former CEO of Freddie Mac Washington, DC

“From a broker’s perspective, the Connor Group has established themselves as the gold standard for buyers in our markets today. Beyond the obvious goal to achieve aggressive pricing for clients, we must determine which capital source is the most reliable, honest, and capable of closing transactions with as little disruption to our seller clients – The Connor Group is among only a small handful of investors that top this list. Not surprisingly, this reputation allows them to see the best opportunities in any given market at any given time.”
