Swettenham Ortiz Healthcare Team

I have spent the last 35 years immersed in the commercial real estate industry with the last 15 specializing in the medical community. Throughout this time, I have developed my expertise in the planning, leasing and sale of office buildings and land throughout Northern California and abroad. In addition to direct experience working alongside office developers to assist with highest and best use, I provide foresight and ingenuity to portfolio optimization, process standardization, risk mitigation, and financial analysis.  

As an experienced transaction manager, I have found the key to a successful plan is through a team-based approach - collaborating with experts from varied specialties including coordinating with local construction consultants ensures the presence of expertise within critical components for a successful facilities strategy,

My goal within every interaction is to marry my client’s desires with my real estate knowledge to achieve success.  This client-focused approach has earned me a solid reputation for creating value and defining risk for both tenants and ownership alike.

I served as a pilot in the US Air Force for 7 years before moving to commercial airlines for 8 years. Sacramento has been home for my wife and two children for the better part of three decades.  In my free time I enjoy family, friends and a round of golf.

As member of the Northern California Healthcare Advisory Group (NCHAG), I specialize in providing real estate solutions for local and national medical groups. Medical office buildings (MOB) are far more nuanced than traditional office buildings and the needs of MOB users are intricate and specific. My clients partner with my group because they have confidence in on our up-to-date knowledge of state & federal regulations, healthcare trends, and awareness of the inherent risks that are unique to medical real estate. I pride myself as a student of the healthcare industry to stay abreast of the changes in regulations and impacts that the healthcare industry has on the medical real estate market.

I began my real estate career with C. Strain Corporate Real Estate which was acquired by Cushman & Wakefield in 2007. My experience throughout my tenure has included landlord & tenant representation, and the disposition and acquisition of office and flex investment properties on behalf of owner/users and institutional clients.

Outside of Colliers, I enjoy playing soccer, practicing photography, and spending time with my wife and two beautiful daughters. 

Beginning as a research analyst at Colliers International, I developed a deeper level of understanding of the many submarkets within Sacramento and became proficient at providing analytical support to my colleagues and our client.  My pursuits are to help my clients mitigate their risks and maximize their value by partnering with them and aligning my goals with theirs. I am a thorough problem solver and a dedicated advocate for my clients.

As an Associate at Colliers, I specialize in advising office tenants, property owners, and investors to develop and implement real estate strategies to help their business succeed.

Due to my success as a Research Associate, I was brought on as a member of the Northern California Healthcare Advisory Group lead by Bill Swettenham and Eric Ortiz. We bring together a team of real estate professionals, committed to understanding and serving the unique needs of the healthcare client, from owners to investors and healthcare providers. As healthcare experts, we understand the specific needs of healthcare real estate, its complexities, and stay abreast of new regulations and market trends that are affecting the industry. The group is committed to applying our combined experience working with Medical Office clients on land acquisition and disposition, development, building acquisition and sales, and landlord & tenant lease representation.

I work alongside Bill Swettenham, Eric Ortiz, and the Colliers Healthcare Group who offer more than 30+ years of healthcare and office real estate experience throughout the West Coast. We represent institutional and private clients with their investments sales and leasing needs.

After starting my career in brokerage and successfully closing my first medical office building transaction in 2014, l transitioned into a development role within the hospitality industry. This experience working with real estate developers and owners to identify key development locations, perform real estate underwriting, and negotiate long-term franchise agreements provided me with a deep appreciation for the broker/client relationship. Diligence, commitment, and delivery of informative, actionable data has helped me create lifelong relationships with my clients.

As a part of the Swettenham Ortiz Healthcare Team, I provide comprehensive operational support including project management, marketing services and implementation of business development strategies. Medical Office Real Estate is a nuanced specialty and requires unique expertise. Our team has a depth of experience that allows us to navigate our clients through the various transaction processes including the acquisition, disposition or leasing of healthcare properties. We are experienced advisors for multi-medical uses such as surgery centers, imaging center, clinics, labs and behavioral sciences.
