Inland Pacific

What Inland Pacific does

Inland Pacific is a privately held commercial real estate brokerage firm founded in 2001 and headquartered in San Diego, California, with a secondary office in Santee. The firm specializes exclusively in the San Diego industrial real estate submarket, offering four integrated service lines: investment sales, tenant representation, agency leasing, and in-house property management. Its distinguishing operational model is a co-investment/partnership approach in which the firm invests alongside its clients rather than acting as a purely transactional broker, aligning economic interests and positioning the firm as a strategic investment partner for industrial property owners, buyers, and tenants.

The firm operates with a small team (1-10 employees) led by Founder and President James Renner, alongside named principals Sam Sukut and Chris Nelson, all of whom personally carry deal credits. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct, relationship-driven engagement with industrial property investors, owner-users, and landlords across the San Diego metro. Visible recent transactions include the $5,725,000 sale of a 28,564 SF industrial building in El Cajon (2021), a $4.9M Santee industrial deal, a $2.8M Miramar R&D acquisition for SD Wood Cabinets (2020), and dual-side 1031 Exchange representation on $5.85M of Santee/El Cajon assets. The firm generates revenue through transaction commissions on investment sales and leases, supplemented by recurring property management fees.

There is no disclosed technology platform, AI/ML capability, funding history, or institutional ownership; the competitive position rests entirely on submarket domain expertise, principal relationships, and the co-investment alignment model. Marketing relies on owned content, local press coverage (San Diego Business Journal), and earned media in outlets such as MarketWatch and Disrupt Magazine to reinforce thought leadership in the San Diego industrial vertical.
