EXPERIENCE:

16 years in commercial real estate

John began his real estate career with Coldwell Banker Commercial in 1988 in the Research Department in Southeast Denver.  This is the 'grass roots' fundamentals of commercial real estate.  John spent approximately one year in research and was promoted into sales.  He spent the next 10 years excelling in Tenant representation skills representing Williams Communications, Wilson & Mayhan, Centerre Construction, Newmont Gold, Chateau Communities, to name a few.  John excelled in his Tenant representation: during 96, 97, 98 John was awarded the most transactions completed and the most Tenant representation completed. Through his early efforts with tenants, John became very familiar with subleasing excess space and was noted by the Rocky Mountain news as the 'Sultan of Sublease'.

In December of 1999, John left CB Richard Ellis after 10 years and formed Fairbairn Commercial, Inc. to focus on assisting tenants in the southeast Denver office market with their facility needs. In just five years Fairbairn Commercial, Inc. grew to 5 employees and has been fortunate to represent groups like the South Metro Fire Rescue, the State Farm Mutual Insurance Companies, South Metro Chamber of Commerce, Expanets, Koelbel & Company, and DPC Companies to name a few.

John is very active in the community. He is a board member of the Southeast Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, The Sewall Foundation, and chairman for the Brokers for Battered Kids event. This is a charitable organization put on by the commercial real estate brokers in Denver that raises money for less fortunate children. In 2001 we raised over $380,000.  Recently John was elected to a 3 year director position for the Colorado Association of Realtors.

A 1987 graduate of Denison University, John earned his Bachelor of Arts degree with distinction in Economics and Mathematics. John lives in the Denver area with his wife Lindsey, 8-year-old son Tyler and 3-year-old daughter Georgia.
