Create Impactful Work With Exceptional People

One of the most striking aspects of Susan’s experience at CBRE has been seeing our RISE values—Respect, Integrity, Service, and Excellence—in action. She says these values are actively practiced and honored within the company, reflected in the numerous times she has seen colleagues set aside their own needs in order to help a team member.

“I was really pleased that I had come on board to CBRE because I felt like these were my people. People that aren't afraid to speak up when something isn't right. People that stand behind what they do and deliver what they say they're going to deliver," she said.

Susan's journey also illustrates the entrepreneurial spirit that CBRE encourages. She notes, "One of the things that sets CBRE apart how entrepreneurial it is... I was given a lot of leeway to share my professional opinion." She was encouraged to be proactive early on at CBRE, a freedom that has been instrumental in her career.

Susan’s career progression—from overseeing occupancy management to assuming a regional lead role, and then transitioning to a new portfolio strategist role for her client—reflects CBRE’s dedication to nurturing talent.

Each position allowed Susan to deepen her expertise, acquire new skills, and mentor others, making a lasting impact both within CBRE and for her clients. She reflects on this dynamic, "I've been lucky because every one of my roles here at CBRE has simply been phenomenal and I've always gotten the support I've needed."

Drawing from her experiences at CBRE, Susan offers advice for aspiring consultants interested in a career with us: Listen.

"Listening is a really important skill in any consulting role because you have to understand not only what your client is saying, but the underlying sentiment that will help you deliver what they're looking for,” she says.

Susan’s story is a testament to how CBRE invests in its people. Her career trajectory highlights the importance of being proactive, seeking opportunities aligned with your interests and demonstrating your capabilities through challenging work.
