Leveraging CBRE’s multidisciplinary, market‑leading platform, the team delivers strategic advisory services for the disposition and acquisition of retail assets—consistently achieving superior outcomes for institutional and private clients. The team is also known for successfully exporting “California capital” to retail projects across the Western U.S.
Recognized as long‑standing leaders in retail investment sales, Retail IP-West concentrates solely on retail assets within the Western region. The team represents portfolios, anchored shopping centers, strip centers, single‑tenant net‑lease (STNL) assets, specialty retail projects, and distressed/REO or Receivership assignments, and was an early pioneer of the parcelized disposition strategy.
Based in Orange County, California, the team is composed of seasoned professionals with deep institutional and private‑capital relationships. Their combination of institutional‑quality execution and unmatched access to private‑capital investors—both domestically and internationally—creates a powerful and highly effective brokerage platform.

The Retail IP‑West team has completed 1,101 retail transactions, totaling more than 80.7 million square feet and valued at over $16.1 billion. The team has represented many of the largest, most high‑profile retail assets in the Western U.S. and is honored to serve some of the most sophisticated institutional owners and private investors in the industry.
Broker Cooperation
Retail Investment Properties – West (Retail IP - West) team is committed to complete and unrestricted broker cooperation. Historically, more than 75% of assets sold on behalf of private investors have been acquired by buyers represented by cooperating brokers. For institutionally owned assets, the cooperation rate is approximately 35%. Our approach is built on transparency, openness, and maximizing market exposure:
- No Buyer Registration Requirements: the team does not utilize buyer registration agreements—which can discourage cooperation and impede free information sharing—unless specifically required by the client or property owner.
- Full Public Availability of Listings: all team listings are posted on this website and accessible 24/7. NRP West does not maintain “pocket” listings or “off market” inventory.
- Consistent Cooperating Broker Fees: the team always offers a cooperating brokerage fee on its listings, except in cases where the client or owner instructs otherwise.
