Ayson Shammami is a Senior Director of Investment Sales at Encore Real Estate Investment Services in West Bloomfield, MI. He joined the company in 2018 as an Associate Advisor specializing in retail properties and later expanded his practice to include industrial properties. Quick to learn and driven to excel, from the start at Encore Shammami demonstrated an aptitude for the commercial real estate industry and an understanding of the national retail landscape that far surpassed his level of experience. He swiftly proved himself within the company, outperforming industry veterans to be named a Top 10 Broker in 2020. That same year he earned a promotion to Director of Investment Sales. In 2020, a challenging year which saw the economy upended by a global pandemic, Shammami earned the prestigious Power Broker award for Overall Transaction Volume presented by the CoStar Group, a leading commercial real estate industry market research firm. An eager self-starter, Shammami comes from a large, close-knit entrepreneurial family. Shammami began working at age 13 after persuading an uncle to allow him to help part-time at a family-owned hotel. It was his first taste of hard work and earning his own money, and it ignited a spark of drive and ambition that continues to burn today. As his clients and colleagues in the industry will attest, Shammami brings that same eagerness, drive and persistence to his work in the commercial real estate industry.
