Charlie Cummings

Founder & Managing Broker

Founder and Managing Broker of Innovate Commercial Real Estate, a boutique, AI powered brokerage based in Colorado and known for helping business owners and investors turn vision into lasting success. With over a decade of experience and more than $100 million in closed transaction volume, Charlie specializes in owner/operator real estate strategies throughout the Denver metropolitan area, with experience in both commercial real estate sales and leasing activity.

Charlie approaches every client as a partnership, not a transaction. He works as a strategic real estate partner in the growth and scale of each business he represents, learning how the company operates, where it is headed, and what its real estate needs to do for it, and staying alongside the client for the long haul. Clients know him for deep market expertise, a knack for finding opportunities before they hit the market, and creative deal structures built around their goals rather than the commission.

To Charlie, AI sharpens judgment but never replaces it. At Innovate CRE, it turns a client's needs into a written assessment before the first meeting, pulls market data and comparable sales into plain language summaries, and builds the marketing for every listing. It also tracks listing activity in real time, keeps every contract deadline on the calendar with reminders, and keeps clients updated at each milestone.

Outside of work, Charlie enjoys spending time with his wife Andrea, their daughter Sofia, and their dog Noah, celebrating community in every aspect of life. He enjoys cooking, exploring the outdoors, traveling, and continuously learning new things.

Brendan Broussard

Senior Broker Associate

Brendan Broussard is no stranger to hard work. He began his professional journey at the age of 14 in his hometown of Houston, working for his family's fire protection company. From summers on job sites to afternoons assisting with daily operations, Brendan developed a hands-on understanding of construction and what it takes to see a project through from the ground up.

His passion for real estate took root early, sparked by watching raw land transform into commercial developments. That interest evolved into a full-time career when he accepted a summer internship in Los Angeles, an experience that launched him into the world of commercial real estate. He became a licensed agent specializing in multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, particularly in the South Bay region. As client needs grew, so did Brendan's expertise, expanding into retail, office, and industrial investment and tenant representation.

Today, Brendan serves Denver, Colorado, and the surrounding areas, leveraging his deep construction knowledge to guide private equity groups and family-owned investors through multifamily and commercial real estate transactions. In his role with Innovate Commercial, he stays closely connected to the neighborhoods he serves, providing timely insights and market intelligence to help clients make informed decisions.

When he's not working, Brendan enjoys exploring Colorado's great outdoors through camping and hiking, and he's an avid student of history, often diving into books, documentaries, or local landmarks to better understand the stories behind the places he visits.

NovaAI, not a person

AI Assistant · Operations & Marketing

Nova is our in-house AI assistant, and it has a hand in every stage of the process above.

Before the first call, Nova turns your survey answers into a written needs assessment, then pulls together submarket conditions, comparable rents and sale comps and summarises them in plain language — with the verified figures marked apart from the estimates.

When we take a property to market, Nova drafts the offering memorandum, builds the listing page and the retailer map, writes the social posts, and keeps the live performance page current: days on market, inquiries, tours, offers, and where it is being advertised. On the buyer and tenant side it assembles your property survey, so the shortlist arrives on one page with the map, photos, numbers and our comments.

Once you are under contract, Nova extracts every deadline in the agreement, puts the approved dates on your calendar with reminders, keeps the deal file and documents in order, logs calls and tours, prepares each follow-up, and keeps your Innovate Orbit portal current so all of it stays one click away.

Charlie reviews and approves the work before it reaches you, and stays the decision maker on price, strategy and negotiation. Nova takes the hours out of the groundwork so your broker spends that time on the parts that need judgment — and on you.
