ABOUT COMMERCIAL AGENT Bradford Kitchen

When Brad Kitchen incorporated Alterra Real Estate Advisors in late 1999, he wanted to provide the best service to his clients by providing a consultative versus transactional approach to buying, selling and managing commercial real estate. Focusing on personal service, communication with clients, intelligently structuring deals, and paying greater attention to the details, he believed he could help investors maximize their return on investment and help clients minimize their commercial real estate costs. Two decades later, the concept clearly works, and Brad and Alterra have the awards, satisfied clients and results to prove it.

During his career, Brad has performed services for clients including managing the acquisition and disposition of facilities nationally, asset management, investment advisory, strategic portfolio analysis, facility planning and much more. Brads degrees in both Finance and Real Estate from The Ohio State University, coupled with his experience in commercial real estate, have allowed him to represent a wide range of notable clients including BMW Financial, Data General, General Electric, Huntington National Bank, LCI International (Qwest), U.S. Health and numerous others.

He also has the unique perspective of being a property owner which makes him much more effective at understanding the needs of landlords and tenants and implementing effective solutions. Brad has led the acquisition of over $50 million worth of commercial real estate properties and is the managing investor of most of these real estate ventures.

Brad and his team of hands-on agents assess client needs and then work harder and smarter to make the best deal possible for their clients.
