Mike Mitchelson
Executive Vice President
CBRE
Kansas City, Missouri
Mike Mitchelson leads the CBRE industrial team and brings a wealth of industry knowledge to this team. As a consistent top producer both for more than three decades in both Kansas City and across the country, Michelson along with his two partners, Austin Baier and Joe Orscheln, consistently rank among the top-five local producers in the Kanas City market and in the top 20% nationally.
The members of this industrial team have dominated the Kansas City industrial market, not just with their market intelligence and by leveraging the CBRE platform, but also because they care for their clients and are collaborative with their internal and external partners.
This success is not a new thing for this real estate veteran. Mitchelson joined CBRE in 2002 as an broker and started his career in 1995. Today he is respected as one of the Kansas City market’s top industrial specialists, one who understands the market and works tirelessly on behalf of his clients.
During his tenure, Mitchelson has been involved in many types of transactions including sales, leases, portfolio sales, land acquisition, development, sale/leasebacks, build-to-suit transactions and consulting.
Mitchelson has shown a commitment to his industry, too. He has added both CCIM and SIOR designations during his tenure, serving on both boards throughout the years. He served as the president of the local chapter of SIOR in 2019.
What are the reasons for his success? Mitchelson points to the fact that he’s worked on such a strong commercial real estate team for more than 20 years. He’s also worked with what he calls great clients.
“It’s about working hard and being consistent,” Mitchelson said, when talking about the strategies he’s followed for success. “Managing expectations over time and providing good advice are important, too.”
When not at work, Mitchelson said that he enjoys spending as much time as possible in the outdoors. He also enjoys spending time with his family.
