Mike Zugsmith joined CBRE, Inc. in 2022 as part of one of the firm’s most decorated teams - alongside Craig Peters, Doug Sonderegger, Sam Glendon, and Richard Ramirez. Together, they’ve built a nationally recognized reputation as the dominant industrial market leaders in Greater Los Angeles North.
Mike’s provides expert brokerage and corporate services to industrial and office property owners, users, and developers. His work spans the full spectrum of leasing, acquisition, and disposition - serving both third-party owners and corporate occupiers across Los Angeles and nationwide. Whether working with local firms or national organizations, Mike brings a seamless, collaborative approach to expansions, consolidations, and complex negotiations involving industrial and office parks, major distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and industrial zoned land.
A particular focus of Mike’s practice is the Aerospace, Defense, and Space sectors. His familiarity with these industries runs deeper than real estate - he understands the operational demands, regulatory considerations, and long-term planning that shape how these organizations think about their facilities. That deeper context means clients get an advisor who speaks their language and can identify real estate solutions that actually align with how they operate.
