Always a pleasure working with Charlie on my projects in the Bay Area - he's definitely one of my go-to brokers that I rely on heavily for sound advice, especially on my more complex deals. Whether an industrial sale or finding equity for a mixed use project, I know I can count on him to provide tangible solutions that meet our goals as a company. He understands our market and takes a personal interest in understanding how we like to structure deals, so that his advice is reflective of our company culture. He's a 'full service' professional in that any issue that arises in a transaction, he is there to handle it to push the deal forward - I've personally witnessed multiple situations where a deal was getting off track due to principal differences, and he was able to quickly get everyone back on the same page through creative ideas and alternative thoughts on how to address a given problem, but whereas it came off as a win-win for both sides of the table. It's pretty amazing to watch him work and negotiate on behalf of your team; he knows when to hold back and when to step up during the dance of a deal. Bottom line - I trust Charlie. He's a deal maker, he's hardworking, he's a true partner to our organization. Joshua Burroughs Senior Development Manager Barry Swenson Builder
Charlie combines his experience in leasing with his natural inclination to look at real estate from an investor's perspective to provide a unique and extremely well-informed approach to real estate investment sales, which is vital in a geographic market evolving as quickly as any in the country. Understanding "the story" of a deal in addition to the numbers is essential for our firm in making sound investment decisions, and Charlie brings to the table historical perspective, current market knowledge, and an opinion about the risks and opportunities for a property going forward.

I’ve worked with dozens of brokers over the years but never found someone as competent and trustworthy as Charlie. He’s helped me purchase four buildings and sell two over the years and there is no one I’d trust the way I trust him. He is someone you can work with even if you know nothing because he’ll treat you like you like family rather than a pay check. None of that would matter if he didn’t know what he’s doing, but he is as thoughtful and analytical as they come. Joe Zito Private Investor
