Premier Commercial Real Estate Services

What Premier Commercial Real Estate Services does

Premier Commercial Real Estate Services is a family-owned, full-service commercial real estate firm headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, founded in 2005 and operating with 11-50 employees across six core service lines: property management (AMO-certified through IREM), landlord representation, tenant representation, investment sales, corporate real estate consulting, and (since August 2025) 1031 Exchange Services via the Premier Indiana 1031 Exchange, LLC subsidiary. The firm serves property owners, tenants, real estate investors, and corporate clients primarily in the Central Indiana / Midwest market, with a notable roster spanning healthcare systems (IU Health, Ascension St. Vincent, Community Health Network, Hancock Health), financial institutions (Chase, PNC), industrial/logistics users (DSE Transportation, Parker Hannifin), motorsports (Andretti Global), retail (CVS), and automotive (DaimlerChrysler), with documented transactions including a 476,000 SF industrial lease, a $12.5M 210,000 SF industrial sale, and a 240,538 SF adaptive reuse project that won the 2026 CoStar Impact Award.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based brokerage commissions, recurring property management fees, professional services fees for consulting and investment advisory, and transaction fees from 1031 Exchange qualified intermediary services. The technology stack is light and partnership-driven: Premier's differentiator in 1031 Exchanges is its integration with Accruit's QI Connect platform and patented Exchange Manager ProSM workflow tool, rather than internally developed software. Go-to-market is direct, relationship-led sales by a team of CCIM-, CPM-, RPA-, and CPA-credentialed brokers and advisors, augmented by participation in TCN Worldwide (joined 2017), a network providing access to 1,500+ professionals across 65+ offices and 200+ markets with $43B+ in annual network transaction volume. Distribution is primarily regional (Indianapolis/Central Indiana), with national reach delivered through TCN cross-referrals and ad hoc broker collaborations (e.g., Bradford Allen on the Andretti transaction).
