BARBERMURPHY
BARBERMURPHY had a record year in 2018, despite a significant disruption in one of our industry’s major marketing platforms. Having a new website in the pipeline, we seized the opportunity to launch our redesigned website and cement our position as the most complete source of commercial real estate data and commercial property listings on the market.
While we continue to focus on increasing our online marketing power, we never lose sight of what our relationships continue to do for our clients. We are certainly more than just a commercial real estate marketing team. Our group of brokers at Barber Murphy Group aspire to be consultants for anyone that we are fortunate enough to interact with in the course of business. Rather than only selling or leasing commercial real estate, we focus on solving the specific problem at hand. Our brokers understand the local market dynamics as well as the macroeconomic factors taken into account for a proper valuation of commercial real estate. Barber Murphy Group has the knowledge needed to properly negotiate for their buyers while also harnessing the power of their relationships and affiliations to source prospects for sellers. The relationships our brokers have cultivated is what makes us so effective for our clients. Whether there’s a retail vacancy to fill or an investor that needs to complete a tax-deferred exchange, Barber Murphy Group offers ‘Commercial Real Estate Solutions.’
While we experienced increased activity in all market sectors, investment sales were the largest portion of our total transaction volume for 2018, about 40 percent. Land sales also increased 60 percent above the total acres transacted in 2017. We think this is indicative of our strong economy continuing into 2019 as we see these sites being developed into more commercial real estate opportunities and investments for the downstate region we service.
