Tim Nieuwsma

Founder & Managing Broker

Background

Tim serves clients in California, Oregon, and Washington with their real estate consulting and brokerage decisions.

As a commercial real estate broker, Tim’s focus has been primarily on land for development and investment.

He has founded two land use consulting companies working with the real estate portfolios of individuals, small and large businesses, publicly held corporations, county executive offices, regional transportation authorities, hospitals, schools, churches, and non-profit organizations both small and large. Helping clients with market strategy for their portfolios, Tim has guided their real estate acquisition and entitlement. He has also assisted boards of directors with strategic planning, recruitment of board members and capital development.

At one point in his career, Tim rescued a failing non-profit affordable housing development company. Turning it into a thriving and innovative producer of over a thousand apartment units, he set it on course to become nationally-acclaimed and the first affordable housing developer in California committed to 100% LEED-certified development.

Tim also serves both emerging and national companies as they analyze and move strategically into new markets.
