Helping an Out-of-State Business Expand into Colorado with Confidence

The Challenge

Brandon Butler, owner of Pacific Artisan Labs, was ready to expand his successful Oregon-based business into the Colorado market. Managing a commercial real estate search from another state presented unique challenges. With only a limited amount of time in Denver to tour properties, every showing needed to count. Brandon needed a trusted local advisor who could identify the best opportunities, maximize his time on the ground, and continue driving the transaction forward after he returned home.

The Strategy

Before Brandon arrived in Colorado, we developed a targeted search focused on locations that aligned with his operational needs, budget, and long-term expansion goals. During his week in Denver, we efficiently toured a carefully selected group of properties, allowing him to evaluate multiple strong options in a short period of time. Once the right space was identified, I coordinated negotiations, due diligence, and communication remotely, serving as Brandon's local representative throughout the process and ensuring he secured favorable lease terms despite being hundreds of miles away.

The Result

Pacific Artisan Labs successfully established its second location and expanded into the Colorado market with confidence. By combining strategic planning, an efficient property search, and seamless remote coordination, we found the right location during Brandon's first visit to Denver and negotiated a lease that supported the company's continued growth. What could have been a complicated long-distance expansion became a streamlined process backed by local market expertise and trusted guidance.

"Laura helped my company find our second location in Denver. We are located in Oregon so doing this remote was complicated but with Laura's help we were able to find our new space on our first day of searching and get everything we needed out of the negotiations. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a commercial broker! Excellent job!"
