Managing Partners

The Elite Partners Commercial powered by RE/MAX Gold was founded on the idea that the commercial real estate industry needed an overhaul. We were tired of seeing clients get pushed to the back burner by large firms that are more worried about getting listings than getting rid of their listings. With The Elite Partners, we make sure to put our client’s name before the name on our letterhead, and having us in your corner means having a team of dedicated individuals who aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and get the job done.

And we’re not here to just make big promises – our work speaks for itself. Our results driven approach ensures that you’re getting high quality service without sacrificing your time or money. That’s why we offer free, no-obligation property analyses and don’t force retainer fees on our clients. Our combination of research, analytics, top of the line innovative marketing and one-on-one customer service allows us to tailor our strategies to fit your needs, not the other way around. We pride ourselves on being strategic planners and asset managers, and strive to deliver the best return from all available investment options. Don’t believe us? Hear it straight from our clients or flip through our portfolio to see for yourself.

Long story short: we’ve worked with the big guys, and while we learned a lot from them, we don’t want to be like them. Don’t get lost in the corporate shuffle. Experience the ELITE difference.

With a combined 40+ years of real estate experience, I think you’ll find that we are up to the task. The Elite Partners epitomize integrity, energy, hard work, and service throughout each and every transaction they have. The Partners have been responsible for over $1 Billion in sales over the last 15 years and have ranked in the top ten worldwide within RE/MAX.
