What clients say
“I was looking for a commercial lease space and Charlie was recommended by my wife, who he helped with purchasing a commercial building. He was very prompt with any inquiries I had, showed me many locations and was extremely knowledgeable to advise me on them. Was great with negotiations and follow through. Highly recommend!”
“Charlie helped us locate a new brewpub space recently. With hard work and professionalism, he located a needle in haystack for us! Charlie responded quickly to emails, calls and text messages whenever I had a concern and helped troubleshoot any issue that arose. His rapport with the other parties always got us a quick resolution that worked for everyone. I highly recommend Charlie and hope to work with him again one day!”
“Working with Charlie Cummings at Innovate CRE was one of the best decisions we made while searching for our commercial space. We needed a property for a recreational sports facility, and Charlie's knowledge of the Centennial market and commercial real estate was invaluable. He was patient, responsive, and always had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process. Thanks to his expertise and negotiation skills, we secured a space at roughly half the market rate that fit our needs perfectly. If you're looking for a commercial real estate agent who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend Charlie.”
