Harbert Realty Services was established in 1981 as the domestic real estate subsidiary of Harbert Management Corporation, one of the region's largest, most successful, privately-held, second-generation investment firms.  Harbert's origin was to serve the real estate holdings of our parent company, but quickly evolved to serve others.  Accordingly, we understand property ownership, think like owners and have a full understanding of an owner's perspective.  HRS' continued growth is solely predicated on the continued success and growth of our clients and partners nationally, regionally and locally.
