Aloha, I'm Mark Bratton,  President of Bratton Realty Advisers, Ltd., and exclusively contracted with Colliers International, Hawaii’s largest commercial real estate organization. I specialize in the sale of investment properties in Hawaii and will strive to  solve problems a property is going through, making it difficult to sell.  I am there every step of the way assisting  a potential buyer to understand the property and to  close  successfully.  I  am also a  member of the USA Capital Markets Investment Sales Group, an elite team of sales professionals who work with institutional-quality properties. Members of the group transact business in key markets around the United States, and work collaboratively with their counterparts in Europe, Asia and Latin America. I've been at Colliers International since 1985 but  left for one year, from 1992 to 1993 to join CB Richard Ellis in the Beverly Hills/Century City Office, representing tenants.  I returned to Hawaii in 1993 and continued my efforts in commercial real estates investment division.

Coming from a family of developers, my introduction to the development world came in the late 70’s working as a carpenter on my family's developments both in California and in Hawaii. After obtaining a formalized education in Real Estate Investment and Development from San Diego State University, I moved to Hawaii to begin my career. I do have experience in both originating CMBS loans as well as assisting with the detailed loan assumption  process.

In 2017 "The Bratton Team" was formed.  We are a team of four individuals, myself included.  We all have  our strengths in different the aspects of real estate.  But, the combined strength of us all makes our team unstoppable.

As an Investment Services specialist, I focus on representing buyers and sellers of all commercial property types throughout the State of Hawaii.  Having operated as a commercial developer throughout most of my 15-year commercial real estate career in Northern California and Northern Nevada, I know the right questions to ask to identify my clients’ needs and match them to opportunities in the market.  Bringing a deep skillset of opportunity sourcing, underwriting, market analysis, acquisition, project oversight and disposition, provides me with unique insight to help my clients achieve their goals.   

My family and I moved to Hawaii in 2012 where I served as the Costar/Loopnet representative for the Hawaii and Alaska markets.  This experience provided me with a unique opportunity to meet and learn about all of the properties, owners, developers, brokers, lenders and other professionals involved in commercial real estate throughout these two great states.  Both markets are very unique and nuanced, and require creativity to tap into the market’s true potential, a skill I continue to hone on a daily basis.  It is rare that I won’t drive by a property and think, “how could the value of this property be maximized…and who do I know that could make it happen?”.  From there, it is about creatively bringing together the pieces of the puzzle. 

PASSIONATE is one word that describes how I am with projects and clients. When you truly love what you do, it is hard to call it work! I concentrate my energy on high street retail in Waikiki, Urban Retail in Kaka'ako, specialized affluent neighborhoods, and all other Resort Retail markets throughout the islands. I specialize in Landlord representation and working with experienced local and national resort, urban, and luxury retail tenants. I am able to strategically work with tenants on their expansion plan and provide detailed analysis on the roll out of their brand within the Hawaii Market.

I spend much of my time curating, repositioning, and helping grow projects and developments in Waikiki, Resort markets on all islands, Kaka’ako/Ward, and other affluent neighborhoods in Hawaii.

I have had great success over the years working on the following projects: Haleiwa Store Lots, The Shops at Kukui’ula, SALT in Our Kaka’ako, Pualeilani Atrium Shops at the Hyatt Regency , Waikiki Beach Walk,  The Shops at the Ilikai, Kuono Marketplace, Ward Village, Ko'Olina Station and Center, Kailua Town, Princeville Center, Queens Marketplace, and Outrigger Waikiki to name a few.
