Why NAI DESCO

History of NAI DESCO

Founded in 2000, NAI DESCO was formed when the Schnuck family partnered with veteran brokers to create an independent firm for the brokerage and management of third-party office, industrial, medical, retail and investment properties.

In 2011, NAI DESCO acquired competitor Coldwell Banker Commercial’s St. Louis brokerage division. This acquisition increased NAI DESCO’s inventory and agents by approximately one-third.
