Colliers Dealmakers: Recent purchases, sales, leases and investments in South Carolina

As a Brokerage Associate for Colliers International | South Carolina, my role is to represent owners, landlords, users and tenants in the leasing, sale and disposition of commercial properties throughout Columbia and central South Carolina. My knowledge of the local Columbia market comes from a lifetime of living and growing in this community, then working with clients across the city and region. I have seen this city grow before my eyes and am excited for where it will grow next.

With my background in business development and management, I understand the unique challenges and pain points that business owners face. My job is to advise and counsel you on your real estate decisions so that they align, support and advance your business goals. Clients rely on me to walk them through the real estate process and understand what comes next, and I ensure that you can trust me by remaining honest, transparent and accountable at all stages of my relationship with clients.

I am very involved in the lacrosse community in Columbia. For the past few years, I have volunteered my time as the Offensive Coordinator of the Men’s Club Lacrosse Team at the University of South Carolina, where I myself played while in college. I have also previously volunteered with Heathwood Hall’s lacrosse program.

I have been with Colliers since 1995, specializing in site selection, land brokerage and the sale of retail/owner-occupied properties. I have completed over 450 transactions with a cumulative value in excess of $350 million.

My niche and expertise are in land valuation, planning and the entitlement process in order to enhance value for land owners. I have extensive zoning efforts, permitting, consultation and predevelopment issues associated with area muncipalities and the South Carolina Department of Transportation.Transportation.

I have been associated with Colliers International | South Carolina since 1975 and am currently the Senior Vice President of the firm.

Having worked in the commercial real estate industry for over 42 years, I love building relationships with my clients and being able to deliver the best customer service to meet their needs with a very straightforward approach. I believe that honesty plays a big role in the client-broker relationship and that clients appreciate someone who is on their side. In this business, clients may come and go, but I take pride in the fact that many of my relationships with clients are long-lasting because I strive to always go the extra mile for them.

My focus is local office brokerage, with a focus on tenant representation as well as buyer and seller representation. 

I have over 40 years of experience in the the Midlands business community and I strive to bring a positive attitude and passion for the area and its attributes. As a problem solver with “big picture” vision, my professional and personal strength is networking and establishing strong relationships. I possess extensive experience in working with small business owners, professionals and non-profit organizations.

I specialize in the sale, leasing, and development consultation of retail properties across the state.  I manage the Colliers SC Retail Team, which delivers retail brokerage and consultation services to clients through Colliers’ four South Carolina offices. 

I pride myself in my ability to maintain excellent communication with my clients throughout the entire real estate process and even after a transaction is completed.  I find that success in my work is defined by making sure that when it is all said and done my clients had an enjoyable and profitable experience.  I consider my relationship with my clients as a partnership to help them achieve their goals.

Columbia is primed for economic growth; our team is focused on bringing vital businesses to the area and helping local businesses take advantage of the opportunities here through advanced data analytics and creative solutions.

I am constantly seeking to make new connections and I enjoy meeting new people every day in the commercial real estate business. I enjoy developing strong, lasting relationships that extend far beyond a transaction.

I focus on retail land and site selection brokerage. I assess the needs of my clients, analyze the market for opportunities and guide them through the decision-making process that results in the selection of the best locations for their business. Typically, this requires attention to location, visibility, ingress/egress, pricing, zoning, signage, individual market trends, market footprints and overall feasibility, among many other factors that are important and unique to each client.

My number one priority is delivering the best service to my clients. I pride myself in being an asset in finding a solution to a client’s need and define my own success through the success of my clients.

As a Senior Brokerage Associate with Colliers | South Carolina and a member of the land and commercial brokerage team, my primary focus is on the sale of large land tracts for development, recreational use and timber production. I work with various groups of clients, from investors to tract builders and farmers and hunters. 

I pride myself on being someone who, once committed, sees tasks through to the end. Land sales can be notoriously complicated with many ups and downs, yet my clients know that I will advance their interests at every turn. It is this reliability that makes me indispensable to both investors and users. I take a keen interest in transitional land tracts that may be in the path of growth and are subject to an evolving higher and better use.
