Commercial real estate brokerage Choyce Peterson Inc. has hired Amy G. Lerner as executive vice president.

Lerner will be responsible for providing strategic office space solutions for corporate tenants in Fairfield and Westchester counties. She brings over 30 years of strong commercial real estate experience to the Choyce Peterson team.

She began her career as an agent for Helmsley-Spear in Manhattan’s Financial District. She then joined CBRE and for several years was a corporate service team member and tenant representative.

Pulling from those years of experience, Lerner co-founded AMBAR Realty Group LLC, one of the first women-owned commercial real estate firms with a WBE certification, and focused on the tenant representation approach to servicing her clients. Her major projects have included acquisitions and dispositions for financial/brokerage firms, insurance companies and technology firms.
