TENANT, BUYER, AND SELLER REPRESENTATIVE ONLY
Calgary's most qualified industrial real estate broker —
and I only represent tenants, buyers, and sellers.
I do not work for landlords. My job is to negotiate against them, on your behalf — with twenty years of experience, an MBA with Distinction from one of the world's leading business schools, and the prestigious CCIM designation earned by fewer than seven percent of commercial real estate professionals.

Why calling the listing agent will not get you a better deal.
When you phone the agent advertised on a building's sign, you are not getting a shortcut. You are hiring the landlord's or seller's advocate to represent you in a negotiation against the very party who pays them.
Every comparable they pull, every term they walk you through, every "that's the best the landlord will do" — it is all filtered through a contractual obligation that runs to the other side of the table. That is not a flaw in the listing agent's character. It is the structure of the engagement.
It is a structure that works perfectly well — for landlords and sellers. If you are the one signing the lease or writing the cheque, you need someone whose only obligation is to you. That is the work I do, and the only work I do.
And hunting for space alone won't either.
Many tenants and buyers try to negotiate in secrecy, believing that involving a broker will cost them money or compromise their leverage. The opposite is true.
Broker commissions are paid by landlords and sellers, out of the deal. Your representation usually costs you nothing additional. What you lose by going alone is access to off-market opportunities, accurate market data, negotiating leverage, and a professional whose entire career depends on getting your terms right.

Who you'll be working with.
I'm Ilya (Eli) Raykhlin — Associate Broker with REMAX Commercial, with twenty years of experience representing tenants, buyers, and sellers across Calgary's industrial market. I hold an MBA with Distinction from Durham University, one of the world's leading business schools, and I have earned the CCIM designation — held by fewer than seven percent of commercial real estate practitioners in North America.
Since 2015, the team I lead has been ranked among REMAX Commercial's Top 25 commercial real estate teams worldwide. I have been inducted into the REMAX Hall of Fame, received its Lifetime Achievement Award, and was named to CREi's list of the Top 150 LinkedIn Influencers in Commercial Real Estate. I'm also a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, and the habits that came from that service — discipline, planning, accountability, follow-through — still shape the way I work.
When you're ready, the database is yours.
I maintain the only online database that tracks every active industrial listing in the Calgary market — every landlord listing, every brokerage listing, every sublease. Tell me what you're looking for, and you'll receive a detailed report of every available property that matches your specific requirements. No obligation. No cost.
Companies that chose to be represented, not sold to.
