The global firm plans to maintain local ownership following NAI’s mantra, “Lead locally. Act globally.” It will now do joint business under the name of NAI Affinity.

While local business helps NAI Global tremendously, NAI Global is also beneficial for Chrisland. Schaefer stated, “We will be able to expose our clients to investment opportunities we would not have been aware of before we joined NAI.”
