“I have worked with Todd DeNeffe for over 20 years on a range of development projects including industrial and commercial projects. My experience with Todd is he has an excellent understanding and interest in development and real estate in the Portland area and specifically in the Central Eastside. He does his homework and is very good at staying at ground level. Todd is patient yet also diligent, which is important in working with challenging parties (including public agencies). I would strongly recommend Todd DeNeffe. He would be a great choice for representation of commercial and industrial property.

“We are a multi-generational family entity which owns and manages a number of light industrial properties in SE Portland. Todd worked with us on numerous transactions to accomplish our objectives. He displayed creativity, hard work and patience which has allowed us to have higher quality tenants and be much more profitable. Besides having intimate knowledge of our market and outstanding track record, Todd has an exceptional personality which proves instrumental when negotiating leases with long term tenants. Todd has done an exceptional job with the daunting task of both leasing our properties and renewing below market leases and we have been absolutely delighted and he has clearly been and continues to be the right choice for our family.”

“We are on 80 year old family owned company and we had grown into several adjacent facilities in Portland’s Central Eastside, but our operations were separated by streets, a railroad track and our buildings were old and inefficient.
We were considering a relocation for years. Todd had a great understanding of both our requirements, operations, and our timing aligned with his excellent knowledge of the core Portland industrial market which was an exceptional match for us.
Together, after looking at multiple properties, we centered on a key large industrial site in Northwest Portland, but there were a myriad of issues and details that needed to be addressed and Todd helped us through the process to get the property purchased.
Todd went well beyond his role as a broker, he became a trusted and client focused consultant always looking out for our interests.This was demonstrated by him taking the lead in setting up and following through in accomplishing a reverse exchange which saved us considerable capital gains taxes. In addition, he helped us qualify for the Portland Enterprise zone which saved us tens of thousands in property taxes. Lastly, he represented us in selling our multiple existing properties in the Central Eastside to an all cash buyer who met our tight timelines. I would highly recommend Todd as candid, very knowledgeable, astute and trusted real estate professional.”
Dealers Supply Bought the former Oregonian site in Northwest Portland for $ 8 million to build a 160,000 sf headquarters facility. They also sold three city blocks in the Central Eastside to Harsch Investment as part of a reverse-exchange.

“We are a family that owned a large industrial real estate property with no real experience in managing or selling commercial property and we all had “day jobs”. We chose to work with Todd because of his strong familiarity with the commercial/industrial market in Portland and because of the energy he brings to his work. He was not afraid to tell it “like it is” while others told us what we “wanted to hear” and we did not need the sugar-coating. We discovered Todd to be creative, flexible and have great contacts. All of this was important to us as we came to the “right” transaction with Todd’s help and expertise.”
