Focus & Approach

Carpenter/Robbins Commercial Real Estate, Inc. is a leading national provider of tenant representation services, uniquely specialized in government commercial real estate. With a singular focus on public sector clients, we bridge the gap between private-sector best practices and public-sector missions.

Since its founding in 1998, Carpenter/Robbins has evolved from its commercial roots into one of the most trusted names in federal real estate advisory services. Today, our name is synonymous with successful project delivery for agencies like the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the General Services Administration (GSA), and other federal entities.

Our team averages over 15 years of experience in federal leasing and development, and we’ve delivered over 1000 government real estate assignments across 50 states and 250+ cities. We are process-driven, nimble, and nationally scalable — attributes that allow us to consistently meet the complex needs of our clients and projects.

In addition to federal work, Carpenter/Robbins also represents numerous cities and counties across California, including the City and County of San Francisco, City of Seaside, City of San Ramon, Town of Danville, and San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District. Our public-sector expertise spans consulting, acquisition, disposition, public-private partnerships, and asset management.

Our long-standing performance and subject-matter expertise have earned us a portfolio of major contract awards, including:

• U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs National Broker Contract IV – Prime contractor since 2021
• GSA Zonal Broker Contract (GLS Plus / NBCIV) – Serving 18 Western states since 2020
• GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) – Active contract for direct consulting engagements
• U.S. Patent and Trademark Office BPA – Awarded 2023
• Confidential Federal Financial Institution Contract – Midwest-based strategic services contract awarded 2024
