Bio
Patrick J. Barrett
I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Ken and successfully completing a transaction with him over the past couple of years. Without hesitation, I can say he is the consummate professional. A skilled negotiator with a firm grasp on both the retail and investment sales markets in DC, he’s a true breath of fresh air in the commercial real estate brokerage community.

Ken's attention to market data in detail was right on par with what I needed in the market I was opening up shop. His extra efforts to include sending links of recommended podcasts and article links were much appreciated. The follow-ups were terrific. I truly enjoyed our conversations about deals and outside of deals discussing data. Big Data 💽 is here to stay, sir. Thank you, Ken
