Jack Hudson

Spear’s Review

Having studied law at the University of Manchester, Jack Hudson began his real estate career in his hometown of Bristol in 2012. After a stint at Marsh & Parsons in London, he joined commercial realty giant CBRE in 2014.

In his decade at the company, he has worked as a residential development and investment broker as well as a project director specialising in advising developers such as Barratt London, Almacantar and Peabody on land acquisitions. Now head of the private client team, he caters to the real estate needs of HNWs and UHNWs on the search, acquisition and, occasionally, disposal of super prime property.

Hudson tells Spear’s that CBRE’s USP is simple – it is discreet: ‘[Our] clients really want a high degree of confidentiality; they don’t want digital footprints.’ He added that the firm’s ability to search off-market is because it is a small and nimble boutique team ‘bolted into the largest real estate company in the world’.

Adviser Profile

With over a decade at the firm, Jack’s team serves as the ‘front door’ to CBRE for high-net-worth clients, their families and advisers. ‘Our role is twofold: facilitating transactions and providing strategic advisory services.’

Jack’s team represents clients in the acquisition and disposal of super-prime assets across all real estate classes, including luxury homes, hotels and office buildings. The team also provides strategic advice, chaperoning clients through CBRE’s global network of 130,000 professionals and assembling bespoke teams to execute complex real estate strategies worldwide.

A law graduate and chartered surveyor, Jack ensures every transaction is handled with discretion and professional rigour.
