Creating value through process and mitigating risk through experience

Our story

Fisher James Capital brings together partners with decades of capital markets and investment brokerage experience. Hailing from the Bay Area, the partners started their careers at some of the region’s largest brokerage companies including Cushman & Wakefield, Newmark, Colliers and CBRE. Over the last ten years, they formerly ran the brokerage platform for another boutique commercial real estate company in Northern California called Preserve West Capital.

Founding Fisher James Capital continues the partners’ practice of aligning the most competitive capital with the best opportunity. By investing heavily into their marketing processes and directly impacting each deal’s conversion through experienced qualification, Fisher James Capital offers a personal touch with national reach as a boutique office.
