Broker the VISION.

A boutique commercial real estate firm specializing in industrial, retail, office, multifamily, hospitality, urban/mixed-use, and investment properties throughout Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky. We think like entrepreneurs and investors, going beyond real estate to advise on every variable that impacts your decision.

What we do

Commercial real estate brokerage services

Full-service commercial real estate advisory across industrial, retail, office, and urban/mixed-use assets throughout Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky — representing buyers, sellers, tenants, landlords, and investors on every side of the deal.

Buyer Representation

Identifying the best building is the first challenge, and there is no single source for commercial listings. CURO aggregates market information to simplify the buying process, coordinates due diligence, and provides options for financing and move management, bringing resources that make the process efficient and transparent.

Seller Representation

Accurately valuing a property in a dynamic marketplace is difficult. We listen to your goals first, then build a strategy to achieve them within current market conditions. Having bought and sold for our own account, we treat every transaction like it is our own.

Tenant Representation

Understanding a landlord's motivation is crucial to striking the best deal. CURO identifies available spaces on and off market, and knows the right questions to ask landlords to establish a winning strategy for tenant negotiations.

Landlord Representation

We have been landlords ourselves and know the challenge of leasing decisions. Landlords need market data to act in any condition, and CURO tracks relevant sales and leases to leverage timely data against property-specific situations.

Advisory & Consulting

Many situations call for advice rather than a transaction. Our team has consulted on bank REOs, partnership buy-outs, property optimization, Broker Opinions of Value, accounting valuations, and tax appeals.

Investment Sales

Investment properties differ across every asset type. We own commercial investment properties and have sold millions of square feet, knowing how to maximize value through operations and reporting for the highest price and most efficient sale.
