Leasing & tenant rep
We represent both sides of the table with equal rigor — maximizing rent for owners, minimizing total occupancy cost for tenants.
Our story
Built on market intelligence
Meridian CRE was founded in 2006 by a small group of brokers and former asset managers who believed commercial real estate deserved sharper analysis and straighter advice. They started with a single submarket and a simple promise: never recommend a deal we wouldn't sign ourselves.
That discipline scaled. Today we are a full-service brokerage of more than 70 professionals operating across 18 metro markets, advising on office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use assets — from a 3,000-square-foot storefront lease to a nine-figure portfolio disposition.
What hasn't changed is our orientation. We underwrite every assignment as if our own capital were at stake, and we measure success by the outcome on our client's ledger, not the size of the commission.
How we work
Services & values that guide every deal
Full-service brokerage backed by principles that keep us honest, fast, and aligned with your interests.
Investment sales
Disciplined underwriting, defensible cap-rate analysis, and a vetted buyer network that moves quickly and closes cleanly.
Advisory first
We lead with strategy — site selection, valuation, and lease-vs-buy modeling — before we ever talk about a specific building.
Data over opinion
Every recommendation is grounded in comps, absorption trends, and proprietary market data — not hunches.
Speed to close
We protect momentum from LOI to closing, anticipating the friction points that stall commercial transactions.
Fiduciary discipline
We hold our clients' interests above the transaction, and we tell you when not to do a deal.

Our approach
How we run an assignment
Every leasing or investment mandate follows the same rigorous path, so nothing is left to chance and the numbers always lead.
Diagnose the requirement
We start with your operating plan and capital goals, then translate them into a real-estate strategy.
Underwrite & benchmark
Comps, absorption, cap rates, and total-occupancy modeling shape every recommendation.
Negotiate & close
We drive the deal from LOI to signed lease or closing, protecting your position at every step.

Whether you're leasing, selling, or acquiring, our brokers bring the market data and the discipline to get it done right.
