What makes your firm the go-to solution for clients? What do you do better than anyone else in your market? Our business is about honesty and respect. We wear our reputations on our sleeves each and every day. We approach each property assignment from the client’s perspective and it is more important to us to do what is right for our client than to make a fee. Year to year, Bradford completes over $200,000,000 of combined sales and lease transactions which allows us to deliver consistent returns to our strategic partners and investors.

What do you value most about your CORFAC membership? And why do you stay affiliated with the network? Our CORFAC membership has allowed us to send outbound business and receive inbound business that we would otherwise not be doing by just being a stand-alone, boutique firm. We value the relationships and friendships that we have made with our affiliates and we now have a great resource for not only referral business but best practices.

What’s the most important thing about your firm that you’d like to share with other members? We will treat your client like our own regardless of size of the deal and we will serve them with integrity and professional competency. The most important thing to us is to build long-term relationships.
