Team Overview

Specializing in occupier/tenant representation services.

Our practice group exclusively represents tenants and end users – we do not represent any commercial landlords or developers in the region, we do not own any commercial properties which may benefit from shifts or moves in the market, and the only fees we collect are established by our clients at the onset of each engagement.

Being part of a truly global multi-disciplined firm means having the ability to tap into “playbooks” outlining best-in-class practices and consult with experts in the fields of portfolio consulting; strategic execution for sales/leasing; corporate services; property, facilities and project management; appraisal and valuation; and development services.

Our Values

CBRE’s size and breadth certainly comes with advantages in information and resources. We have had the honor of being named the dominant real estate firm in our area by Cleveland Crain’s Business Journal for the past four years. While we are proud of this distinction, it has come as the result of hard work and our focus on the ultimate maxim – to put the client first.

At the same time, we are a small, immediately accessible, and local team. Each of us is a Cleveland-area resident, and has been dedicated personally or professionally to the downtown landscape for many years.
