Creating high-quality, engaging marketing collateral that accurately conveys property information in an easy to digest, aesthetically-pleasing format is my passion. Commercial real estate property investors rely on this valuable information to make educated decisions regarding investment opportunities. 

As a Marketing Specialist with the Cleveland office of Colliers, I use my high-level skill and expertise in Adobe software including InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator to support the Capital Markets team that specializes in advising buyers and sellers on the acquisition and disposition of Self Storage and Office properties.

Prior to joining Colliers International in May 2015, I began my career in the industrial roofing industry where I served as a Sales and Marketing Assistant for nineteen years supporting a National Sales director and 60 sales representatives across the country. I appreciate that my beneficial experience has enabled me to collaborate with incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, top-notch experts in their field, and has taught me the importance of taking initiative, pulling together as a team to achieve goals, and providing the best service and most effective solutions possible to satisfy our clients. I'm thankful to be immersed in this multifaceted industry and driven to enhance my knowledge and skills daily.

With over 28 years in real estate, I’ve seen and solved most of the problems that arise in marketing and selling commercial properties.   When I started my career, the industry experts said I would need to complete 100 deals to experience all the various types of deals.  I’ve successfully completed over 500 commercial transactions.

Owners and clients of self storage properties are the most important people in my practice.  To them it's critical they bond with a trustworthy, competent partner.  Afterall they are placing their life long work in the hands of a real estate expert  to market and sell  their asset ensuring  their financial objectives are met. 

Undoubtedly in self storage, the client’s business is normally very successful.   Its a  matter of understanding how they  built and maintain their revenue and then use my skills to market their benchmark successes attracting the highest paying investor the market will offer.

Hearing an owner say “yes Tom I want you to sell my property’” is always welcomed news in my daily work, but delivering the right process bringing the transaction to a successful close and pleasing the client is the most rewarding experience in my profession.  Since co founding the Colliers Self Storage Investment Platform in 2014, Tom and his team  have closed on more than $1 billion in self storage transactions. 

Andy brings attention to detail and a passion for in-depth research to his work with the Capital Markets team. His background in urban planning combined with several years of professional experience make him competent and qualified to understand clients’ needs and goals. In June of 2021, he transitioned into his current role as an Associate with the Top-Producing Self-Storage Team where he has developed skills in analyzing, underwriting, valuing, and marketing self-storage assets. He is an expert at utilizing property and market data to promote the Self-Storage team's skills and effectiveness in delivering the highest quality market valuations across the US and Canada.

Andy is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati’s School of Planning. His previous work experiences involved marketing and fundraising, infrastructure improvements, and economic development plans to sustain low-cost high-impact programs in Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio. When he began working with Colliers in 2019 as a Research Analyst he was vital in the support of their 20-person brokerage team implementing an internal lease comp database, publishing quarterly reports, and introducing new software and applications for mapping, demographics, and property data.  Now he assists the team Self-Storage team every step of the way from prospecting and lead generation to market valuations, marketing, and transaction management.
