The firm said Franco, a Colonia resident, specializes in the sale and leasing of industrial properties with a focus on central and southern New Jersey, having spent more than six years representing tenants, landlords, investors and developers both locally and across the country. She joined Lee & Associates from CRP Realty and previously spent 15 years with Capital One working in finance and commercial lending.

Franco is also a member of the Material Handling Society New Jersey.

Ganas, whose real estate career began more than 10 years ago, specializes in sale and leasing and acquisition and disposition of industrial and investment properties and land parcels, according to a news release. She has a broad geographic focus, the firm said, with expertise in real estate consulting for owners and investors.

The Hillsborough resident comes to Lee & Associates from CRP Realty and previously worked with Sotheby’s International Realty. Together, Franco and Ganas have closed nearly $100 million in real estate transactions.
