He is past president of SIOR's St. Louis chapter and stays deeply involved with the growth and economic well-being of Southern Illinois and the Metro East portion of the bi-state St. Louis region through his volunteer work with local chambers and regional economic development organizations and business groups, such as the Leadership Council Southwestern Illinois.

Brad Bullington
Elk Grove Village, IL
Brief Bio: CRE Broker for 18 years in Elk Grove Village. Selling/leasing every building in Elk Grove.
Full Bio: Fresh out of college in 1998 I went to work for a small commercial real estate firm who gave me Elk Grove Village as my territory to represent. Armed with a new pair of shoes, some flyers and shiny new business cards I set out to knock doors to drum up new business. Technology was scarce back then and the company lacked internet and cell phones so I learned the old fashioned way of farming a territory and becoming an expert in the largest industrial park in the country.
I accredit that ground level experience to how I interpret market conditions today in Elk Grove Village. By listening to the needs of the property owners and businesses locating there, I developed a strong understanding and passion for helping those who want to locate there. I tend to focus on properties 30,000 sq. ft. and under, since most of the larger firms do not even track properties in that size range. Therefore enabling me to acquire more listings in those size ranges than any other real estate firm in the area.
In 2004 I co-founded another local real estate firm in Elk Grove Village and was Sr. Vice President there for 5 years before joining GC Realty in October of 2009. GC Realty has the best platform and support team that allows me to offer my clients the most value and flexibility, minus the bureaucracy of other firms, ultimately leading to more successful transactions.
I remained a local leader during the economic downturn when property values fell and companies were downsizing or going out of business. At that time I lined myself up with several local banks who entrusted me to sell off their REO assets. I also have been highly successful in helping buyers obtain the 6b tax abatement offered through Elk Grove Village and Cook County to help new property owners lower their taxes by 60% over a 13 year period. In 2013 alone, I helped 16 buyers get the abatement in place.
Elk Grove Village remains the largest industrial park in the country with its vast resources and abundance of properties. I have carved out a strong niche representing thousands of property owners and tenants over the past 18 years and continue to lend my expertise to those in need of my services.

Chicago , IL
Brief Bio: <p>I began my professional journey as a litigation attorney, gaining experience at two prominent law firms in downtown Chicago and previously working for the Illinois Attorney General. After contemplating a career change, I made the leap to Triton, where I now focus on multifamily advisory, helping clients navigate the complexities of Chicago neighborhoods and the real estate market.</p>
<p>In essence, I am in the information business. My passion has shifted from providing legal and factual information in the courtroom to advising clients on neighborhood building information, whether they're looking to make transactions or stay current with the market. My work ethic, combined with my legal and zoning law expertise, ensures a disciplined and structured approach. Clients benefit from my negotiation skills, responsiveness, and determination to get results.</p>
<p>Beyond real estate, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Kary, and our Pug, Ozuna, traveling, and managing our multifamily and student rental properties in Hyde Park and Woodlawn. I’m also fluent in Spanish—a skill I never imagined mastering after nearly failing in high school!</p>
Full Bio: I began my professional career as a litigation attorney working at two major law firms in downtown Chicago and before that for the Illinois Attorney General. After contemplating a big career move for some time, I jumped with two feet in, joining Triton to develop my multifamily advisory practice and elevate the company.
I'm in the information business. Investigating, cultivating, and informing clients on information. This process for me used to be legal and factual information with my clients in the court system, but I found my passion in advising clients on building information in Chicago neighborhoods whether it be to transact or keep them current on the market.
My work ethic, legal/zoning law knowledge and organizational methods assist in my disciplined approach to what I do. The clients I have the honor of working with benefit from my negotiation methods, prompt responsiveness and tactful action to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Outside of my real estate business, I enjoy collecting new experiences with my wife (Kary), taking our Pug pup (Ozuna) for long walks, traveling and am a multifamily/student rentals owner/operator in Hyde Park/Woodlawn. I speak fluent Spanish (although I nearly failed in Spanish in high school – Señora Norvell, if only you could hear me now).
Mark Coleman
Saint Charles, IL
Brief Bio: If your needs involve buying or selling CRE in the western suburbs of Chicagoland, we are your problem-solving generalist celebrating 75 years of cre service.
Full Bio: As of 2015, the Coleman Land Company is celebrating its 75th year of serving the western suburbs of Chicagoland.
Mark Coleman, President and Managing Broker, has been actively engaged in the CRE brokerage since 1973 as partner of a four-generation family-owned business. He has cultivated the reputation as being professional, honest, loyal, caring and competent. Mark spent the early part of his career focusing on general brokerage and appraising. Appraisal valuation is a real estate niche his father, James Coleman Sr. MAI, developed in the 1960's. Working with an expert MAI gave Mark Coleman invaluable experience across a broad spectrum of property types including agricultural, multi-family, office and industrial, paving the way for a full and diverse real estate brokerage practice.
Today, he focuses on growing the Company and on his brokerage practice.
When asked what in commercial real estate he focuses on, he replies "commissions," speaking to the fact that in western suburban Chicagoland, it is wiser to maintain a general practice rather than to focus on a specific segment.
Mark has partnered on development of a large multi-million dollar office project, handled retail projects, served as landlord and tenant rep in leasing as well as large vacant land development transactions. Mark handles industrial and residential transactions as well.
Working over a broad spectrum of property types "keeps my practice fresh and every day is unique," he reports.

Collin Fischer
Shiloh, IL
Brief Bio: 14+ Yrs CRE Exp. CCIM. Focus. Investment RE including referrals outside IL. Also Gen CRE Leasing and Sales. Winner of several CRE awards.
Full Bio: A Saint Louis University graduate with a major in entrepreneurship, Collin has had broad exposure to various facets of business, enabling him to bring fresh insight and a solid work ethic to his transactions. His career in commercial real estate with BARBERMURPHY focuses on commercial leasing, sales and other special projects in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Collin has also consulted with various local clients seeking to acquire investment property throughout the rest of the United States.
Collin prides himself on tracking, analyzing and maintaining as much current market data as possible so he can educate clients and prospects on the current climate of commercial real estate and how it may affect their particular project. If a project takes them into unchartered territory, he has the tools, resources and persistence to steer them through the situation and find the needed answers. He’s efficient, understands the changing technology in this competitive industry and is always on task, all attributes his clients have learned to appreciate.
Guided by the principle that how you do anything is how you do everything, Collin is always quick to point out that BARBERMURPHY brokers are conflict free. This stems from the fact that the company doesn’t own or manage real estate, instead focusing on handling the transactions for their clients who do.
One of the most prominent local projects Collin has worked on was the site selection and negotiation for Scott Credit Union’s 13-acre corporate campus in Edwardsville, Ill. This was a two-year project and involved multiple counties in the search to identify the best flagship location for this growing financial institution, ultimately bringing them to the heart of Madison County.
An Edwardsville resident, where he lives with his wife Chelsie and their four children, Collin is also an active volunteer, lending his time and talents to his kids' school fundraising and local sports programs. There is always a new program or sports season in session with his kids, and Collin enjoys coaching/developing some of the younger kids into well-rounded athletes.
"We are transaction brokers. BARBERMURPHY does not own or manage real estate. We do not compete with developer clients. Relationships are the only thing we develop." ~ Collin Fischer - CCIM

Full Bio: Strong market knowledge and an "owner's" perspective is why Landlords across Chicagoland have hired me to market their commercial retail properties for lease and sale. Tireless dedication, excellent communication and follow-thru and the ability to close deals are key attributes. Landlord's also appreciate that when they call me, I pick up. They rely on my opinions and the level of information I provide them with when they need to make difficult decisions about their assets.
I work hard to establish and maintain relationships with Tenant brokers...in order to know which tenants are actively searching for space. This is key to limiting "on-market" time.
With over 30 years in the advertising and real estate industries, I have a keen understanding of what it takes to market, create interest and close deals. Recent completed deals for my landord clients include, GAP, Athleta, Starbucks, Binny's, GNC, Fleet Feet, Sleepy's, Snap Kitchen as well as many local independent retailers.

Our firm is a full-service brokerage company that started as a long-time business partnership with Chris Harrison. Currently Mr. Harrison and myself are the only active CCIM designated commercial brokers in Macon County. We hold a high value proposition in comparison to our competitors. We're constantly pursuing continuing education and staying current with industry trends, this philosophy is simply a must. Our firm is headquartered in Decatur, Illinois and our territory for representing landlords is across Central Illinois with an emphasis commercial real estate transactions (sales and leasing), commercial management, and local Decatur area residential services.

Upon graduating from Millikin, I helped launch and manage a local quick-service restaurant with the help of family and friends, which also increased my desire to remain a Decatur resident long-term.

Scott Reichmann
Shiloh, IL
Brief Bio: 8+ Yrs CRE. 35+ Yrs exp in Design/Build Ind/CRE Construction in Southern IL and MO. Industrial Park Dev. Focus: Commercial, Industrial and Land Development.
Full Bio: Scott has more than 35 years of experience in the design/build industrial construction industry in Southern Illinois and Eastern Missouri. As a broker with BARBERMURPHY, he leverages that experience every day, working primarily with clients seeking sites and industrial real estate properties in Southern Illinois.
Few industrial brokers in the St. Louis/Metro East/Southern Illinois market have the extensive industrial construction experience Scott does, which enables him to size up what needs to be done to a property almost immediately, as well as provide a rough idea of cost for the prospective buyer.
Throughout his real estate career, Scott has created opportunities and relationships to drive new projects and re-purpose existing industrial properties all over Southern Illinois. He has helped owners and developers select appropriate sites, locate incentives and alternative financing. He has also worked on behalf of owners with design professionals in conceptual design and successfully estimated, managed and constructed millions of square feet of industrial facilities of all kinds.
Among his most notable transactions are the successful development and build out of industrial parks in Wentzville and O’Fallon, Mo., plus Litchfield, Ill.
Scott grew up in the small farming and mining community of Carlinville, Ill. He was the oldest child on a family-owned dairy/hog/crop farm and sat at the table with his parents when important decisions were made regarding the family business.
That experience gives Scott a unique vantage point to truly understand the financial and emotional parameters of family-owned businesses, whether they be new or generations old, enabling him to relate to many of his clients who also operate family owned businesses.
Scott recognizes the importance of working with both metropolitan and rural communities, as well as the unique challenges involved in each. Passionate about rural economic industrial development, Scott volunteers with Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunity (CEO), a year-long program in which rural high school seniors meet daily for 90 minutes before school and are exposed to businesses and business leaders, preparing them for the professional world.
Scott lives in Carlinville with his wife Jane.
"Wisdom comes from experience, usually bad experience. Being 60 years old and having strived to live life to the fullest means I believe I have obtained a fair amount of wisdom. I enjoy sharing it to help others succeed in their own endeavors." ~ Scott B. Reichmann

His hands-on experience with manufacturing and warehousing gives him a depth of knowledge that proves to be a distinct advantage when working with clients.
He is also a quick study when it comes to understanding each client’s specific industrial real estate needs, helping them to quickly and efficiently zero in on the right properties for the right project. He has a proven track record and has tackled some difficult brownfield assignments, making him a valuable partner for those in need of assistance with the disposition or acquisition of industrial real estate in the area.
Steve's notable projects include his representation of the Chemetco Bankruptcy Estate in the disposition of the 387-acre former Chemetco Copper smelting facility in Hartford, Ill. This ongoing transaction, which has spanned more than 10 years and requires facilitation with multiple stakeholders, including bankruptcy courts and State and Federal EPA agencies, is one of Steve’s most challenging assignments-to-date. Other noteworthy sales include a 406,000-square-foot former Anheuser Busch Distribution facility in Mount Vernon, Ill., and the 434,000-square-foot former Meridian facility in Centralia, Ill.
Through these and many other transactions, Steve has grown to be a seasoned broker who knows how to complete difficult assignments with multiple stakeholders over long periods of time, even when they involve complex issues ranging from environmental concerns to governmental constraints.

It's someone who will go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure each client’s best interests are satisfied." ~ Steve Zuber - CCIM, SIOR
