Background

About Chris Caulum

Over 25+ years, I have come to learn that the best commercial real estate decisions are made by people who understand their market, know what's at stake, and have the clarity to act with confidence. In 2025, 68% of my work came from repeat clients and referrals; a testament to the trust I’ve earned helping leaders make critical real estate decisions.Clients come to me when something’s at stake: Business owners planning for growth or preparing for change. Investors needing to boost occupancy or positioning an asset for sale. Developers sourcing land or evaluating sites.These decisions can shape a business’s trajectory or a property’s value - and timing, leverage, and local intel matter. Whether leasing a facility, selling a building, or developing a site, I help clients avoid missteps and get clarity on what’s next. For sellers and landlords, that means strategic pricing and positioning. For business owners, it’s making confident decisions that align with business outcomes.My work with industrial, office, and land spans Dane County and the surrounding region. Clients rely on me for real-time market insight, grounded advice, and strong execution. I often partner with an in-house team member for brokerage, marketing or admin support.My work has delivered results for clients like Mustang Properties, Weir Minerals, Riddell Sports Group, and Object Pharma. Whether driving a high-speed lease-up or targeting the right buyer with precision outreach, I help clients capitalize on opportunities when they arise. I’ve been named a CoStar Power Broker nearly every year since 2013 and have received 14 “Deal of the Year” awards from the Commercial Brokers Group of Madison.If you're weighing a lease, sale, or development—let’s talk.
