As a 3rd generation entrepreneur with a bent towards real estate, it is no surprise that Gabriel Graumann was primed to pursue a career in commercial real estate. His grandfather, Gale Conner, was the founder of Connwill Incorporated, a full-service real estate construction and development firm developing large plats of land for residential and multi-family use, retail strip malls, office buildings and self-storage facilities throughout the Puget Sound region.Gabe joined Connwill in 2003 and started in the property and asset management side of the business. Reading retail leases, meeting with tenants, walking properties and roofs, and analyzing operating expenses is where he cut his teeth. In 2005, Gabe became a licensed real estate broker in Washington state and began taking on non-partner clients who needed asset management assistance. The portfolio grew to an impressive half million square feet of commercial retail, mixed-use, small industrial and self-storage properties located from downtown Seattle to the Canadian border in the north.After participating in the disposition of the entire Connwill portfolio by 2007, Gabe opened his own asset management company named Connwill Management, LLC, continuing to provide asset management and brokerage services to individual investor portfolios and accredited investors. Connwill Management later became Commercial Real Estate Solutions LLC, with a stronger emphasis on investment brokerage services to clients throughout the West Coast.Now, having managed portfolios of more than 1 million SF, and personally brokering more than $300 million in real estate transactions, Gabe holds active real estate licenses in Washington and Arizona, actively assisting buyers and sellers in search of investment properties with often overlooked value-add opportunities.Gabe’s passions extend beyond the office walls. He loves spending active time with his wife, Joleen, and their four children, where you will often find them hiking a mountain trail, exploring a backroad town, or golfing at one of the many fabulous courses the West Coast has to offer. You may even catch him on TV while "on bag" for a LPGA or Epson Tour professional as a golf caddy, a hobby made possible through the numerous relationships he's built over the years.
