Our Team
If you own an office building, and need it leased or sold, we are here to help you get it done. We lease and sell office buildings in a more strategic manner, in shorter time frames, and at the highest rates possible.
We understand Phoenix – it’s where we work, raise our families, and engage with the community. It’s our home and our business. Since 1984, we have negotiated successful transactions for premier office tenants in Metropolitan Phoenix and all over Arizona. We’re proud to be the leading office brokerage team in Arizona. Our mission is to add the highest possible value to our client’s real estate transaction.
