Gurney, 51, replaces longtime president James Bourne, who is giving up his presidency but remaining with the firm as an active broker.
"I guess that means the Gurney name carries on for another generation," Gurney said.
The Nichols School and University at Denver graduate, Gurney is the fourth member of his family to head the firm. Other family members include his grandfather, William, and great-uncle Burt.
Gurney joined the firm in 1981, shortly after graduating from the University at Denver and after a brief stint restoring older homes in Buffalo's Allentown District. Gurney has worked with an impressive list of corporate clients including crafting deals that lead to the creation of the Canterbury Woods complex in Amherst.
Gurney said even with his new title - he had been a vice president with the firm - he will remain an active broker.
"Nothing's really challenging, except me getting a new title," he said.
Gurney Becker & Bourne, located on Delaware Avenue in the Allentown District, is both the region's eighth-largest commercial real estate and residential firm.
