Pinnacle Realty, Inc. was founded in August of 1988 by Joe Ward who had worked in the Spokane office of a nationally known commercial real estate franchise, where he had been consistently the top salesperson. When that firm ceased its presence in Spokane, he decided to start a company that would specialize in serving the needs of retailers, retail developers, land owners, and investors. (Tenant user list) The added benefit of strong relations with local property managers, appraisal firms, and commercial lenders has given the company the ability to assure that all their clients real estate needs are met.

Pinnacle Realty is a team of commercial real estate brokers based in Spokane, Washington, serving Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, Northern Oregon, and parts of Western Montana. Dedicated to the principle that each clients needs can best be served by the expertise gained through specialization, each Pinnacle broker focuses his energies on a specific arena in the real estate industry, retail. With such individual specialization, each of our brokers gain in expertise, a higher quality and level of service that can be offered to the clients than could be if each broker employed had a "jack-of-all-trades" style of business.

Pinnacle Realty maintains the largest inventory of retail properties in its market. Pinnacle brokers specializing in the retail arena are all actively involved in the International Council of Shopping Centers and are participating members in the Spokane Association of Realtors, the Inland Northwest CCIM Chapter, Real Estate Traders Club, Spokane Area Development Council, and the Spokane Area Chamber of Commerce.

Pinnacle Realty has three real estate
agents actively marketing in retail properties. Consistent performance and extensive market knowledge coupled with long standing relationships with retailers, developers, landlords and brokers alike, has enabled the company to consistently do more retail business than any other real estate firm in the Inland Pacific Northwest. Our retail sales and performance is best measured by giving you the volume of business in retail sales and leasing that we have completed in the last thirteen calendar years, 1990-2002. In those thirteen years we have participated in listings and sales volume in excess of $650 million. In 1993 alone our volume exceeded $127 million. Approximately 65% of that total involved the leasing of retail space; the balance of which has been in the acquisition of new sites for retailers, or disposition of properties for owners. Another measure of our performance is the amount of signs/listings which we currently have and have had in those thirteen years along Division Street and Sprague Avenue. Division and Sprague are the major retail corridors in Spokane, Washington, and during our first 13 years we had consistently more signs along these corridors than all of the other commercial real estate brokers put together. These signs are our best form of advertising. It is evident that Pinnacle Realty controls the bulk of the retail properties in Spokane. Almost without exception retailers call Pinnacle Realty, Inc. after visiting our city realtors, opted to call us first because Pinnacle Realty, Inc has the highest degree of visibility in the retail arena. Our signs offer us the opportunity for those retailers that we have not contacted personally by phone to instantly establish a relationship and consummate a transaction as quickly as possible.

Pinnacle Realty, Inc. also represents many large regional and national retailers and developers in leasing, subleasing and selling non-operating or surplus properties. Our marketing of these properties is extensive.

The majority of our salespeople and staff at Pinnacle Realty are university graduates. Several have completed post graduate work, with one of our salespeople having an MBA. (Double click on Agents link)
