Each year, Midwest Real Estate News elects a new class to its Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame. Here is a look at the thriving career of one of our newest inductees, Jeff Stingley, executive vice president with the Kansas City, Missouri, office of CBRE.
Over the last 10 years, CBRE Executive Vice President Jeff Stingley has facilitated the sale of 40,000 multifamily units totaling over $4 billion within the Kansas City metro area. Having built his business on long-term relationships, Stingley has been CBRE Kansas City’s Top Producer ten of the last eleven years, including 2022.
Additional recognition includes being a CBRE Americas Region Top 10% Producer (’12, ’13, ’15, ’16), CBRE Americas Region Top 20% Producer (’14, ’15, ’17, ’18, ’19, ’20, ’21) and an Ingram’s magazine Kansas City’s 40 Under 40 recipient (’15).
Having grown up playing sports, Stingley’s favorite part of the business is that every deal is different. “I also like that it’s entrepreneurial and I have the unique opportunity to help shape Kansas City,” he said.
But his success has not been met without challenges, one of the biggest being that the region is often overlooked when it comes to investment opportunities.
“Kansas City is often considered flyover country, but we have a lot of momentum with a new airport, and extended streetcar line, as well as the NFL Draft in Spring 2023 and the FIFA World Cup to be held here in 2026,” Stingley said. “Additionally, The Wall Street Journal just ranked it one of the top job markets in the U.S. I am a huge proponent of our region and what it offers and thrive on bringing new capital into the market.”
Despite this, and recent economic headwinds, Stingley and his team had a record year in 2022, completing $900 million in sales within the metro. Perseverance and a strong worth ethic have led to his success, and have the many mentors who were especially helpful in his early career.
When he’s not at work, Stingley is a father to his two children, Jack (9) and Blaire (7). He also enjoys ice hockey, platform tennis, skiing, reading, traveling, challenging his wife Gina in Wordle and spending time with their new puppy, Rocco.
