Founded in 2012 and operating as David, Hicks & Lampert Brokerage, LLC, the firm serves the Colorado and Rocky Mountain Region exclusively, providing four core service lines: National Retailer Representation, Landlord Representation, Developer Representation, and Tenant Representation. DHLB represents a client base that includes major national retailers (Whole Foods, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, Hobby Lobby, VASA Fitness, BJ's Restaurant, Salt Grass Steak House, Buffalo Wild Wings, Landry's, Xfinity, Living Spaces) and regional developers/landlords (Alberta Development Partners, Shea Properties, LCP Development, Westside Investment Partners, Fulenwider, Primewest).

Pricing is negotiated per-transaction and not publicly disclosed. The firm employs 11-50 people, with five named principals/brokers (Ken Himel as President, Philip Hicks as Principal, and Allen Lampert, Robin Nicholson, and Shawn Peel as Brokers) handling client relationships end-to-end from market analysis through lease/sale completion. Marketing is conducted through a corporate website (dhlb.com), direct broker outreach, and a referral-driven model anchored by long-tenured client relationships — most notably a 20+ year engagement with Alberta Development Partners.
