CBM1 proudly announces the launch of its new commercial real estate brokerage. Innovative and forward-thinking, CBM1 specializes in commercial leasing and investment sales and hosts a team of seasoned, top-producing commercial real estate agents operating from three Southern California offices. The new firm originates from CBM (formerly Centers Business Management), whose property management division was acquired, and the brokerage operation reorganized under new leadership and rebranded as CBM1.
CBM1 is led by principals Geoff Grossman, Dave O’Connell, and Rick Rivera, a leadership alliance of former CBM senior brokers with a combined 70+ of CRE experience. This core group, who served as division directors and president respectively of the prior brokerage, are leading an impressive roster of veteran agents. A team collectively committed to continuing the impeccable service, support, and advisory assistance that earned CBM elite status in Southern California’s Commercial Real Estate industry.
Moreover, CBM1 aims to build on the former brokerage’s 30+ years of CRE success. A track record that touts countless accolades, including 20+ years of top rankings by the LA Business Journal and a decade of consecutive CoStar Power Broker Award wins.
“There’s a ton of uncertainty out there right now. But we see a PHENOMENAL opportunity!” says CBM1’s Geoff Grossman. “The Great Recession shook loose a lot of dead wood in the brokerage world. And our business SNOWBALLED as a result. Similarly, COVID has forever changed the brokerage business,” Grossman notes, adding: “Only the most technologically savvy operators will thrive. And CBM1 has proven we not only have the platform to endure, but flourish regardless of the inevitable hills and valley the commercial real estate market cycles through.”
“The foundation of my current business was built amid the 2008 crash,” says CBM1’s Dave O’Connell, adding: “And my ability to adapt and grow propelled my career to great heights.” In turn, Dave and his partners “launched CBM1 in the same spirit,” further noting the new firm is “agile” and “up to the challenge of mastering the swiftly evolving CRE industry.”
But regardless of what may be on the CRE industry horizon, CBM1’s Rick Rivera sees the firm’s primary goal as: “continuing to provide the superior commercial real estate brokerage services our clients have come to rely on.”
