ABOUT COMMERCIAL AGENT Richard Barrett

I specialize in flex office and industrial brokerage at Colliers Internationals Greenville, SC office. I have many years of experience in the industrial business world and understand the demands that businesses experience regarding real estate. I strive to make the process as smooth as I can for my clients and offer them empathy and knowledge for getting the best space for their needs. I am inspired and motivated by the beauty of business growth. Seeing a company start from a small garage startup and grow into a powerful industry leader is exciting, and I am proud to be able to play a part in helping clients get started in a building of their own.

A native of Atlanta, GA, I am a 1975 graduate of the University of Georgia. I received my masters degree in Business Administration from the University of Hartford in 1992.
