Abrams and her team — known as Abrams Retail Strategies — will build the firm’s commercial leasing and advisory services, Compass announced Tuesday. Brokers Lisa Rosenthal, Rebecca Olshan, Herman Glaswand, Curtis Woodside and Alexander Vellios are joining as part of the team.

Fellow Eastern alum Adelaide Polsinelli joined Compass earlier this month.

“Our first priority is always a hands on, service-oriented approach for our clients,” Abrams said in a release. “We were immediately drawn to Compass and their dedication to agent support and cutting-edge technology, which will allow us to continue providing our clients with thoughtful and creative results.”
