Corporate History

Corporate History of Carmen Commercial Real EstateFounded in 1993, CARMEN Commercial Real Estate Services has distinguished itself as an industry leader in the exclusive representation of office and industrial tenants and buyers, meeting the real estate needs of more than 400 client businesses.  CARMEN does not represent landlords or property owners, thereby avoiding the conflict of interest inherent in the real estate transactions of traditional, full-service brokerage firms that represent both parties.  By exclusively advocating for tenants and buyers, CARMEN has remained steadfast in its commitment to obtaining the most favorable, transparent, cost effective outcomes for our clients.

CARMEN’S business model is further characterized by its “client-centric” approach that provides clients with on-going services, contradicting the “transaction mentality” so common in the commercial brokerage industry.  Through its vast experience, market knowledge and in-depth resources, CARMEN advises its clients throughout the life of the lease or long after the purchase is complete to assist them in making informed decisions that will save their companies time and money.

The CARMEN story is perhaps best told by its longevity in the real estate business, its continued growth and future outlook, and its many satisfied & loyal clients who, through their referrals, endorsements and business, validate the importance of exclusive tenant/buyer representation.  They also value a long-term relationship with a trusted real estate advisor who is committed to minimizing costs and maximizing productivity.

CARMEN’S lean, agile organization allows it the flexibility to adapt and respond quickly to changing market conditions, client requirements, lease negotiations, and every possible issue in the transaction process.  CARMEN is:

  • Creative in our approach
  • Personal in our relationships
  • Effective in producing optimal results
