Through steady growth and acquisition, the firm has become one of the most active real estate services firms in Northern California and is still locally owned and operated.
Through our alignment with Woodmont Real Estate Services, our clients have at their disposal one of the most respected management and advisory firms in the region. Since 1963, Woodmont has acquired, financed, developed, managed and sold more than 150 major properties throughout Northern California. These have included office, industrial, retail and multi-unit residential properties with an aggregate property value approaching $1 billion.
In 1994, we began our affiliation with NAI, providing clients with an expanded network of highly qualified professionals for their real estate needs throughout the US and the globe.
In 1996, we acquired Damon Raike & Company. This firm was founded in San Francisco in 1959 and provided BT nearly a dozen agents who specialize in selling leased investment throughout the United States. Today this group makes up our NNN Leased Investment Group, one of the most active groups of its kind in the United States.
In 1998, our retail real estate operation was merged with the well-regarded Terranomics Retail Services, and continues to dominate the leasing, sales and marketing of stores, shopping centers and malls throughout Northern California.
In 2003, BT entered the multi-family marketplace with the help of Ric Russell, a 25 year veteran of Marcus & Millichap and the former manager of their Palo Alto Office. Thanks to Ric's leadership, NAI BT Commercial now has 25 agents focusing on multi-family investment sales.
In early 2005, we acquired NAI Sacramento to create a seamless service platform from the Pacific Coast to the Sierra Nevada mountains.
In fall 2005, we changed our name to NAI BT Commercial as a reflection of our growing capabilities in serving clients in Northern California, across the country and throughout the world.
