The Stubblebine Company

What The Stubblebine Company does

The Stubblebine Company is a privately held, family-owned commercial real estate brokerage firm headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts, founded in 1987 by the late Robert D. Stubblebine and current President David Stubblebine, with family roots in the Boston community dating to the 1960s. The firm provides property representation (landlord services), tenant representation, property valuation, and — through its wholly-owned Stubblebine Management Group division — full-service property management. It serves property owners, corporate and local tenants, and real estate investors across Greater Boston, Southern New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, with listings spanning industrial, flex, office, retail, multifamily, land, and industrial outdoor storage asset classes. Following its 2026 appointment as CORFAC International's New England representative, coverage has expanded to include Connecticut.

Revenue is generated entirely through transaction commissions on sales and leases (a 100% commission model for brokers with uncapped earning potential) plus ancillary property management fees. The go-to-market is direct, sales-led, executed by a roster of approximately 25 named brokers, advisors, and directors (including multiple Stubblebine family members), with supporting distribution through property listings on its own website, electronic fliers, building signage, and a quarterly newsletter. The firm leverages its CORFAC International affiliation to access a global network of 800+ commercial real estate professionals across 48 countries. It was ranked #4 among Massachusetts' Largest Commercial Real Estate Selling Brokers by the Boston Business Journal in 2026 based on 2025 transaction square footage.

Technology is described only generically as CRM and platforms for managing client relationships and business activity; no proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, or APIs are disclosed. The core assets are human — local market expertise, the multi-generational Stubblebine family brand, and the CORFAC referral channel.
