Radius Commercial Real Estate

What Radius Commercial Real Estate does

Radius Commercial Real Estate is a privately held, full-service commercial brokerage firm founded in 2002 and headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, with a secondary office in Ventura. The firm operates four integrated service lines: Commercial Sales, Leasing, Multifamily Sales, and the Radius Ranch, Vine & Ag agricultural/land division. Its 20+ specialized brokers serve the Central Coast corridor spanning Santa Barbara, Ventura, and San Luis Obispo Counties, representing investors, business owners, tenants, developers, and institutional clients across office, retail, industrial, multifamily, and agricultural asset classes.

The firm earns revenue exclusively through transaction-based commissions on sales and leases, with rates negotiated per deal and not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: brokers handle tenant and landlord representation, investment sales, 1031 exchanges, and underwriting. Radius's proprietary technology stack centers on RADAR (Radius Analytics & Research), an internal brokerage database built to track commercial activity across its local markets, supplemented by company-wide CoStar subscriptions, premium LoopNet membership for every agent, syndication to 150+ online platforms, and a multi-channel marketing function that includes the flagship 16th Annual Radius Real Estate & Economic Forecast event. Distribution runs through direct broker outreach, broker-to-broker networks, and ICSC partnerships for retail client work.

Notable named clients span banking (Wells Fargo, Montecito Bank & Trust, Northern Trust), national retail and logistics (Lowe's, FedEx, Krispy Kreme, Planet Fitness, Les Schwab), technology (LinkedIn, IBM, Green Hills Software), aerospace and defense (Northrop Grumman, Orbital ATK), and healthcare (Cottage Health, Sansum Clinic), with developer/owner relationships including Simon Property Group, Macerich, Centro Properties, and Vestar. The firm is led by Principal and Co-Founder Steve Golis alongside other founders Mike Chenoweth and Founder Emeritus Steve Brown, with the next-generation leadership layer anchored by Principal Gene Deering ($1.6B+ career transactions) and Executive Vice President Brad Frohling ($900M+ since 2002). The firm has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.
