Bio

Matt Lyman is a Portland commercial real estate broker and Vice President of Commercial Properties at Norris & Stevens. For more than 17 years, Matt has advised owner-users, private investors, and growing businesses on industrial, flex, and office real estate across Oregon and Southwest Washington - combining owner-user and investment sales with hands-on tenant representation. A four-time CoStar Power Broker (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) and a licensed Principal Broker in both Oregon and Washington, he focuses on the small-balance, owner-user segment that the national firms overlook. WHAT MATT DOES Two practices, one advisor. On the ownership side, Matt lists and sells industrial, flex, and mixed-use buildings and land, and represents owners in leasing and lease-up. On the occupier side, he represents tenants through renewals, relocations, expansions, and site selection - underwriting true cost-to-occupy and negotiating base rent, tenant-improvement allowances, free rent, operating-expense caps, and renewal and expansion options. Assignments range from small warehouse and office users to complex, multi-state corporate and federal requirements. Services: industrial and warehouse leasing and sales; flex space; office leasing and tenant representation; owner-user acquisitions and dispositions; investment sales; land and development sites; sublease and disposition strategy; broker opinions of value (BOV); and lease-versus-own analysis.

HOW MATT WORKS Data-driven and process-first. Matt prices from real comparable sales and lease comps, markets to the right users, and negotiates clean, defensible terms that hold up under board or investment-committee review. For tenants, engagements typically begin 6 to 24 months ahead of lease expiration to protect leverage and avoid rushed decisions. For owners, the focus is shortening time-to-deal, reducing vacancy risk, and securing creditworthy tenancy.
