Tyler Dingel
Executive Vice President
CBRE
West Des Moines, Iowa
Tyler Dingel is the only CBRE representative to achieve executive vice president status in the, Iowa market. When looking at his numbers, it’s not difficult to see why.
During his career, Dingel has closed over 1,200 transactions of more than $2.4 billion in value.
“I really appreciate seeing the impact our work has on the community we live in,” Dingel said. “As our kids have gotten older, I enjoy driving around the city and talking about new developments and how our team played a role in bringing those developments from ideas on paper into reality. Or driving through our central business district and seeing old buildings that have been given a new life or new buildings that have improved the landscape of the city.”
And it’s not just about production for Dingel. This real estate veteran has also added leadership accomplishments to his resume by building a best in class team that touches almost all lines of business. Dingel guides his team by offering counsel and drawing upon his extensive experience in the marketplace.
His clients say that they appreciate Dingel’s ability to predict potential “hurdles” in transactions before they become issues and his understanding of the nuances of complex transactions. He consistently develops creative solutions while always being an advocate for his clients. Dingel’s fellow CBRE brokers say that they would be hard-pressed to find a more respected individual in their office.
Those closest to Dingel say that his greatest trait is his understanding that success is not defined by work in the office only. Dingel also gives his time and treasure to charitable organizations. This includes taking a lead role in Central Iowa’s local Big Brothers Big Sisters chapter where he served as the Board President and was named the volunteer of the year for this organization.
“The biggest impact to my career has been the relationships I have created along the way,” Dingel said. “I have been fortunate to be surrounded by a team of great people. I have tried to learn from some of the best in our business and apply their best traits to the way I do business. We are all built differently, and we all have different strengths and weaknesses. If you can find a mentor or business partner that helps offset your weaknesses with their strengths and vice versa, you will both be better off, as will your clients.”
Dingel has also remained committed to professional development with involvement in the Iowa Commercial Real Estate Association, CCIM Chapter and as an advisory council member for the Real Estate Education Program at the University of Northern Iowa where Dingel graduated with degrees in Finance and Real Estate.
During his career, Dingel has ranked as a top producer at CBRE four times was named Broker of the Year twice by the Iowa Commercial Real Estate Association.
Outside of work, Dingel and his wife enjoy spending time with their kids. Dingel has coached his daughter in basketball for seven years and his son in basketball and football. His youngest daughter participates in competitive cheer.
“When we are not chasing the kids, we love spending time at the lake with friends,” Dingel said. “Seeing my kids with a fishing pole in their hand instead of a phone or iPad or watching them try new water sports always puts a smile on my face.”
