Commercial and industrial real estate transactions demand a broker who understands more than just property—they demand someone who understands economics, finance, and the forces that drive property value. With a B.S. in Economics from Portland State University and a real estate license held since 1996, I bring a level of analytical rigor that most brokers simply cannot match.

As a Top 1% Producer with John L. Scott Real Estate nationwide, my career has been defined by results. Over 500 successful transactions across the Portland Metro area have given me deep insight into everything from industrial warehouse logistics to retail center positioning and multi-family investment strategy.

I’m not just a transactional broker—I’m a strategic ally focused on your long-term financial success. Whether you’re acquiring your first commercial property, divesting a portfolio asset, or seeking an accurate valuation for planning purposes, you’ll work directly with me, every step of the way.

Maximize Your ROI

My economics background means I don’t just look at what a property is—I assess what it could be. Through rigorous financial analyses, market comparisons, and income projections, I ensure every transaction is structured to maximize your return on investment.

Navigate Complex Transactions

Commercial deals involve zoning laws, environmental reviews, development agreements, and multi-party negotiations. With decades of experience navigating these complexities, I handle the due diligence and contract negotiations so you can focus on your business.

Save Time & Avoid Costly Mistakes

In commercial real estate, a single misstep can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. My decades of experience allow me to anticipate hurdles before they become problems, handle every detail and piece of paperwork, and keep your transaction moving efficiently toward closing.

Gain a True Market Advantage

You won’t be handed off to an assistant or junior agent. You work directly with me—and with that comes street-level knowledge of Portland’s commercial corridors, direct communication at every stage, and a broker who treats your investment as if it were his own.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

I specialize in a wide range of commercial property types throughout the Portland Metro area, including industrial warehouses and manufacturing facilities, retail centers and storefronts, office buildings, development land, and multi-family investment properties. My economics background and 25+ years of experience allow me to accurately assess value and opportunity across all commercial asset classes.
I use a multi-faceted valuation approach that includes three core methodologies: comparable sales analysis (comparing recent transactions of similar properties), the income approach (analyzing cap rates, net operating income, and cash flow potential), and the cost approach (evaluating replacement cost minus depreciation). My B.S. in Economics provides a rigorous analytical framework that goes beyond standard brokerage methods, ensuring you receive a truly informed and defensible valuation.
Commercial real estate is fundamentally different from residential. It involves complex zoning regulations, tenant lease structures, environmental assessments, sophisticated financing mechanisms, and significantly higher dollar amounts. A specialized commercial broker understands these nuances and can navigate them efficiently, protecting your interests and avoiding costly mistakes that a generalist agent might miss. My decades of experience in this space mean you have a broker who speaks the language of commercial real estate fluently.
Absolutely. I have significant experience with industrial properties across the Portland Metro area, from warehouses and distribution centers to manufacturing facilities. I understand the unique logistical needs of industrial buyers and tenants, including clear height requirements, loading dock configurations, power capacity, yard space, and proximity to major transportation corridors like I-5, I-205, and I-84.
I serve the entire Portland Metro area for commercial and industrial real estate, including Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Tualatin, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Oregon City, Milwaukie, Clackamas, Happy Valley, Gresham, Damascus, Sandy, Boring, and Wilsonville. Whether your property is in an established commercial corridor or an emerging industrial zone, I have the local market knowledge to deliver results.
