CBRE Names Steffen Kammerer to Lead Advisory Services in Northern California and Reno

CBRE announced that Steffen Kammerer will lead the firm’s Advisory Services in Northern California and Reno as Executive Managing Director. In this role, Kammerer will be responsible for the strategic direction and performance of CBRE’s leasing, sales, debt and structured finance, valuation and property management across 10 offices spanning the Bay Area, Sacramento, Central Valley and Reno.

Kammerer succeeds Joe Wallace, who led the region for nearly a decade. Wallace will take on a new role focused on special projects within CBRE’s Advisory Services platform.

“Steffen is a respected leader who combines strategic insight with a strong commitment to people and collaboration. His deep understanding of our company and markets, along with his proven ability to build high‑performing teams, makes him an excellent choice to continue driving momentum across Northern California and Reno,” said Brooke Armstrong, CBRE’s Group President, West Region.

Kammerer joined CBRE’s Bay Area leadership team in 2023 and most recently led the firm’s Silicon Valley, Palo Alto and Burlingame offices. During his tenure, he spearheaded numerous local and national initiatives, developed innovative operational tools and enhanced collaboration across service lines to better serve clients navigating increasingly complex real estate decisions.

“Northern California and Reno are diverse, dynamic markets, and CBRE has built a strong and proven platform here. I’m excited to build on that foundation, innovate where we have clear room for growth, and work closely with our teams to deliver exceptional results for our clients and the region,” said Kammerer.

Prior to CBRE, Kammerer spent more than a decade in brokerage and leadership positions at Colliers and JLL, after working as a computer programmer. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics and communications from the University of Washington.
