Bio
Portland commercial real estate broker specializing in industrial, flex, and office leasing and sales across the Portland metro. I represent tenants and owners through the full lifecycle of a transaction—lease renewals, relocations, expansions/contractions, sublease strategy, site selection, lease-up strategy, acquisitions, and dispositions—using a practical, data-driven approach focused on total cost, leverage, and risk reduction.
For tenants, my work typically starts 6–24 months before lease expiration to protect leverage and avoid rushed decisions. I provide real-time market intelligence (availability, effective rents, concessions, TI norms, and deal terms that are actually getting done), then build a clear strategy comparing renewal vs relocation vs restructure. I underwrite true cost-to-occupy (base rent, escalations, NNN/OPEX, TI, free rent, moving/downtime, and options) and negotiate terms that matter long-term: rent structure, tenant improvement allowance, free rent, operating expense caps, renewal/expansion options, assignment/sublease language, and flexibility for future growth.
For owners and landlords, I help position assets to win demand and convert prospects—pricing and concession strategy, merchandising, targeting, and negotiation—while protecting value through clean deal structure and documentation. The goal is reducing vacancy risk, shortening downtime, and securing creditworthy tenancy with a strategy that matches the asset’s competitive set and the realities of the Portland market.
Coverage areas include: Central Eastside, Airport Way/Columbia Corridor, Clackamas, 217 Corridor (Beaverton/Tigard/Tualatin), and Vancouver, WA, plus other Portland-area submarkets depending on property type and requirement.
