Blake Crowe has been named one of Birmingham’s “Heavy Hitters” in commercial real estate by The Birmingham Business Journal.

Crowe is a 1999 graduate of Troy University and currently a broker at Southpace Properties, Inc. Crowe said that being recognized as a “heavy hitter” confirms what he strives for everyday.

“I always feel confident that I am doing the very best for my clients and associates, but to have a third party recognize that lets me know that I am on the right path,” said Crowe.

When asked about his college experience, Crowe said that TROY did a good job preparing him for what was to come after graduating.

“TROY has the perfect mixture of a challenging curriculum, a supportive administration and staff and a real world education,” said Crowe, a Troy native and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sherrill Crowe.

The Birmingham Business Journal did a special edition in June 2008 recognizing the top commercial real estate professionals. They focused on commercial real estate because it affects every aspect of business.
