NAME: Bradley A. Rohrbaugh TITLE: Vice President- Retail COMPANY: Bennett Williams Realty, Inc. LOCATION: 3528 Concord Rd., York, PA 17402 TYPE OF FIRM: Commercial Real Estate EDUCATION: Spring Grove Area High School FAMILY: Wife Melissa & daughter Katelyn
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR COMPANY: Bennett Williams Realty, Inc. is a 60+ year old commercial real estate firm that is focused on the Central PA market, primarily founded on, and specializing in the sale and leasing of retail real estate. Although retail is a large part of our success at the firm, we handle all commercial real estate needs from industrial, to office, and land. With our team of 25+ executives, we can team you up with a professional that is specialized and experienced. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR TEAM: Bennett Williams Realty, Inc. has a team of 25+ executives each with their own specialty ranging from small inline retail leasing to multimillion dollar investment sales. Our firm’s professionals average 10-15 years experience in the industry, which ensures you get the level of profes- sionalism and experience you expect. THOUGHTS ON CURRENT MARKET OR INDUSTRY: Commercial Real Estate in Central PA has been trending upwards for the last few years, espe- cially in the retail sector. This is positive news for property owners. This uptick is primarily because retailers are back in deal mode, and with limited new construction in previous years and lack of new product, it has forced retailers to lease existing vacancies lowering our vacancy rates and increasing demand. This in turn will create a need for developers to build new product, putting land deals back in full swing. Investment sales have also seen continued growth with lending rates remaining low, which continues to push cap rates down for investment grade product. WHAT MOTIVATES YOU: My passion for the trade and the industry motivates me. I enjoy being an intricate part of the process that changes the landscape of a neighborhood. Developing the relationships, crafting the deal, and ultimately being a part of change that brings employment and new energy to a market is an invigorating experience.
