Brad Ruther '98 has launched a new brokerage firm called Veterans Commercial Real Estate (VCRE). Certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Ruther’s new firm also meets most major corporations’ supplier diversity requirements. VCRE is one of just three commercial-only brokerages in the United States to have earned the status from the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Center for Veterans Enterprise.
As the firm grows, Ruther plans to hire other former soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines as brokers. He plans to become the premiere Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business commercial real estate brokerage firm in the nation.
VCRE specializes in office tenant representation, providing cost/benefit and market analysis, lease or purchase negotiation, asset disposition, help with municipal incentives, construction and post-occupancy needs. Ruther also offers deep experience in the healthcare industry, helping to navigate unconventional office transactions.
