Beginning in 1973, John Gebbie has been dealing with helping his clients manage their real estate investments. He helps business, both large and small, to maximize their return as a seller, buyer, or tenant.
“Every business owner or manager should have a Commercial Realtor as part of their business consulting team,’ John says. The fact is that most small to midsize business owners that own real estate will make a larger return when they cash out their property rather than when they sell their business. The biggest mistake too many business people make is not adding a Commercial Realtor to their list that may currently include an Accountant, Lawyer, Insurance Broker, Financial Consultant, etc.
The key is to find the right one! No two client needs are exactly the same. The ability to clearly define and achieve the needs of his clients makes John Gebbie a valuable asset to any business team.

Market Share – Office and Retail Space
A specialist in office and retail space, John has developed a secondary market that has become very popular in recent years; the need for “green” buildings. “Employers have become more aware of the value of increased productivity for their employees when working in a clean, sustainable environment. This belief is validated by the CDC, USGBC, and other recognized experts in the building field,” John explains. Investors in office complexes, that may also contain retail space, see that they can charge higher rents for green builds. Tenants are willing to pay the higher rates because it translates into more profit due to improved employee results.
