Why Choose Coleman Group

Choosing the right commercial property management and commercial real estate company is a critical decision that can significantly impact the success of your investment.

Experience & Expertise

With our proven track record in managing commercial properties, in retail, office, and industrial, sets us apart from most, with over 27 years in the business. With this experience, we possess a deep understanding of Central KY and Lexington KY local real estate trends, zoning laws, regulations and market conditions. What makes Coleman Group stand out? Experience, Experience, and Experience. They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks—well, then they've never worked with Coleman Group.

A Wide Range of Services

From site selection, negotiation, leasing agreements, maintenance, tenant screening and relations, rent collection, eviction processing, financial reporting, marketing and investment consulting, we can tailor our services to meet your specific needs.

Reputation & References

We have a long list of client (tenants, property owners and commercial buyers/sellers) that can attest to our company's excellent reputation and high standards of trust, honesty and customer satisfaction on all sides of the transaction.

Tenant Relations & Retention

We understand that mediating Owner-Tenant relations helps reduce vacancies, so we instill a strong process for tenant selection, lease negotiation, maintenance, on-site management and conflict resolution.

Local Market Connections & Compliance

With over 50+ years in the business, we have a wealth of valuable connections, including access to potential tenants, contractors, and industry professionals. Our experience lends us to be well-versed in all relevant laws and regulations, including leasing laws, environmental regulations, risk management, zoning and building codes.

Communications & Reporting

Customer satisfaction comes from regular and transparent communication, so we provide regular updates on property performance, retention rates and vacancy percentages. Our reporting system will keep you informed about key metrics and any issues that may arise.

Our Real Strength is our People

Our niche in the commercial real estate market lies in office management and leasing specialization, and while this is true, I believe our real strength is our people. Other firms often reach out to us for advice on handling various property services, and we’re always happy to help because our commitment to improving our community comes first. We embrace competition, as it keeps us sharp and motivates us to continually improve and move forward.

Company History to Present

EST: July 1997

At Coleman Group, we have proven track record of over 50 years in all aspects of commercial real estate and property management.

“My mission is: Every day I wake up I want to make a difference in someone’s life. It may be my family, a coworker, a client, or a stranger. I believe in my heart I have achieved that goal. And I don’t plan on stopping now.” – Bob Cole, President & Principal Broker

HOW WE STARTED
My wife and I started Coleman Group with very little—just crumbs, really. We had a new baby boy, a mortgage, car payments, and mouths to feed. She is my rock, and this year we celebrated our 38th anniversary. With her unwavering support, Coleman Group has now celebrated 27 years in business.

WHY WE STARTED
Coleman Group was established as a boutique commercial brokerage and property management company, with a specialized focus on Central Kentucky. We believed that being a big fish in a small pond would allow us to make a more significant impact. Our expertise is centered on three core asset classes: Office, Industrial, and Retail Properties.

HOW’S IT GOING
Along the way, I’ve been honored to receive the CoStar Power Broker Award several times, deliver speeches on the state of the market at our local Commercial Property Association, and be interviewed by reporters as an expert on the commercial office market.

WHERE WE ARE GOING
We’re streamlining our company with cutting-edge technology, revamping our accounting, property management, and marketing processes. AI has transformed the world, and I see an exciting yet daunting future ahead. Today’s innovations quickly become tomorrow’s history, creating massive opportunities in our industry—but seizing them requires hard work and dedication.

I’m training the next generation of Coleman Group leaders. Properties don’t manage themselves, and as advanced as AI is today, we still need a team of professionals, who are knowledgeable, hard-working and proficient.

Commercial Real Estate Brokerage

Our Evolving services with Constant Commitment to Excellence

The senior members of Coleman Group all bring extensive experience from corporate America, with backgrounds in facilities management, property management, and sales.

“Personally, I worked for a national firm based in Dallas, Texas, which was among the top commercial firms in the country. This experience exposed me to a broader market, industry trends, and a rapidly changing landscape, equipping me with the skills I’ve brought back to Lexington, Kentucky.” – Bob Cole, President & Principal Broker

Commercial real estate is constantly evolving, and staying ahead of these changes is essential for serving our clients effectively.
