What I do

I lease and sell industrial and flex space in the Salt Lake Valley, mostly 1,000 to 50,000 SF, for landlords, owner-users, and investors across Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, and Utah counties. The small-bay end of the market is my home turf. If the deal is a 2,400 SF contractor bay or a 20,000 SF distribution building, I've probably toured, priced, or closed one like it this quarter.

My week is the market: pricing spaces off closed comps, walking tenants through buildings, writing LOIs, and pushing deals from tour to keys. When I give you a number, it came from a transaction, not a report.

Track record

Utah Real Estate License #12359735-SA00, issued June 2021. Verify at the Utah Division of Real Estate license lookup. CRES Utah (CRE Specialists, LLC), company license #10426004-CN00.

Those are the summary numbers. The deals behind them are better reading: seven leases signed in five months at one airport-submarket park, a lease signed two days after the landlord's response went out. The stories are on the Track record page.

How I work

I run ultramarathons, and right now that means training for the Pony Express 100. Most mornings start with miles before the phone wakes up, on a plan, whether I feel like it or not. Deals reward the same habit. The follow-up goes out the day I said it would, and the file keeps moving at mile 70 when everyone else's attention has wandered.

Utah is a non-disclosure state, so sale prices never hit the public record, and most numbers you'll hear quoted are somebody's average of somebody else's guess. I got tired of that and built my own comp database, sale and lease comps from closed Salt Lake Valley deals, verified and logged as they close. When I price your building, I can show you the specific transactions behind the number.

Want a number on your building? The free broker opinion of value at Salt Lake Warehouses runs off those same comps.

For you, that adds up to a fast answer and a real one. Same-business-day responses, numbers with the reasoning attached, and a straight no when no is the honest answer. Send me an address and you'll see it firsthand.
