      Partners, brokers, friends
      Langholz and Wilson have formed a natural partnership
      by Murry Coleman

      DOWNTOWN -- When Gary Wilson Jr. and Kevin Langholz first met in 1982, the Pittsburgh real estate brokers found they had at least two striking similarities. For one, both entrepreneurs had an overriding passion for the game of golf. And for another, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Langholz shared long-standing family ties to the local real estate community.

      "We were both third generation real estate professionals working for our uncles," Mr. Wilson, now 38, recalled. Mr. Langholz, now 41, began his career as a broker with the Bill Green Co. after college in 1979. Mr. Wilson started in 1982 working for Realty Growth Corp., which had been run for years by his uncle, Bruce Hill Jr.

      Both brokers also had prominent grandfathers in the industry. In Mr. Wilson's case, it's Reggie Wilson. Mr. Langholz is the grandson of Bill Green Sr.

      "We talked about doing something together for years," Mr. Langholz said. "We were both young and looking to spread our wings, so to speak."

      In 1990, they saw an opportunity too good to pass up. Mr. Langholz's uncle, Bill Green Jr., wanted to sell his business. The fledgling entrepreneurs were eager to join forces and they successfully persuaded Mr. Green to turn the firm over to them.

      "The company had made a name for itself by focusing on the industrial brokerage side," Mr. Wilson said. "We didn't want to become huge, but we saw opportunities to branch out."

      Expanding from its industrial brokerage base, the newly named Langholz/Wilson & Associates moved into other sectors of the Pittsburgh market. "I think most real estate people would say we're known most prominently now as retail and office tenant representatives," Mr. Langholz said.

      Langholz/Wilson is the exclusive broker in the local market for retailers such as Circuit City, Blockbuster Video, the Gap, Pep Boys and Bruegger's Bagels. Brinker International, which owns Chili's Grill & Bar and several other large restaurant chains, is a major client of Langholz/Wilson. "We're also doing a lot of client advisory services now on the industrial side," Mr. Langholz said. ...

      Mr. Langholz and Mr. Wilson believe that such initiative to seek out new ideas and contacts is what separates their business from other area commercial brokers. "We've assembled a diverse group of people to take advantage of the company that's been created," Mr. Wilson said. "We've got former bank vice presidents, construction managers, retail executives and a host of others with skills to bring to the table."

      The concept they say they've tried to develop in their business is one of a full-service commercial "boutique." "We want this to be a one-stop shop where our people can look at a deal from almost any angle and have the resources to get it done for our clients," Mr. Wilson said.

      By offering tenant representation, property management and consulting services aimed at fostering new development, Langholz/Wilson's principals believe they can compete with national real estate brokerages. "We want to grow, but we're never going to be some sort of huge organization or anything," Mr. Wilson said. "We want to maintain our independence from the big boys but still be able to provide customers with the same menu of services."
