Jim McArthur has been in and around, the Real Estate industry his entire life. Starting in construction building both residential and commercial projects, designing, financing, sales, leasing, and assemblage. The one exception would be professional-level property management which he gladly defers to others.   

His first construction job was in high school as a shop boy and runner with Bernard’s Brothers Const. (now Bernard’s) in Southern California, where he grew up. After school he moved to Palo Alto, CA in the early 1980s to work in construction, he obtained a General Contractors License, where he worked primarily in the SFR housing market on the mid-peninsula performing client work. He and his partners were also flipping houses, long before it became what it is now. This led to doing entitlement work and small development work with some local partners.   

In November of 1995, he received a patent that he wrote for a tool he designed that would help homeowners recycle. The tool is sold throughout the country and in some parts of Canada.

This created a lot of free time which was spent working with a friend doing commercial loans, which led to opening a small residential mortgage company that was run from his office in Sunnyvale, CA until the financial crisis in 2008.

He returned to the construction industry as a project manager for a commercial contractor in the Bay Area.

Jim was later recruited to Intero Commercial by the division manager because of his vast experience and contacts. He has been active in the industry for 8 + years, Jim has focused on Office Sales/leasing, Multifamily, and selling developed projects with entitlements. He has found success putting together “Assemblages” and disposition to large established developers.

Jim recently sold a 6-parcel assemblage in Downtown San Jose to Urban Community. This is one of the area’s largest multiparcel assemblages that sold at the time for a record price. 

Mr. Hildenbrand’s career spans over 30 years in the Real Estate, Financial, and Development industry which included 20 plus years as an executive member of the Hofmann Company, a major Bay Area development firm.

His knowledge and through understanding of the industry has been the result of extensive involvement in environmental, entitlement, due diligence, budget development and analysis as well as extensive governmental liaison relationships.

In addition, he has extensive Planning, Development and Marketing experience developed over the years.

Mr. Hildenbrand holds a California Real Estate License, is an active member of the Urban Land Institute as well as the California Building Association.

With over 10 years experience in the real estate industry, Brian is now a focused commercial real estate professional specializing in East Bay Multi-Family properties. He is a lifelong East Bay resident who comes with a local market knowledge that is matched by very few individuals. His “client first” philosophy and focus on relationship building is the core of Brian’s business, which yields outstanding results for those he works with. He prides himself on excellent communication throughout the entire real estate process from start to finish, which gives his clients the peace of mind that they are in good hands. This goes a long way and reassuring his clients everything is under control and reinforces the level of trust they have in him. Commercial real estate can be very complex to navigate, and being open and forthright can help to mitigate major problems before they arise. 

In his prior office he worked his way into the top 10% for production of all agents over three offices. His drive and work ethic sets him apart, and he will be a force in the East Bay commercial markets for decades to come.

Prior to getting involved in the business of Commercial Real Estate, Rick Lahkar was a top performer in the hospitality business, providing exceptional management and customer service, along with delighting guests. He knew early on that entrepreneurship was the right direction for him. After earning his Bachelor of Commerce degree, he went on to complete his postgraduate studies in Advertising and Public Relations.

Reflecting on his passion and penchant for good customer service, which he carries on in his CRE business today, Rick mentioned that "The hospitality business was an exciting career experience where I realized that you're not selling a room – you're making a guest feel at home. As a CRE professional, providing excellent customer service is inherent in everything that I do."

Rick engaged with Century 21 Commercial as a business broker in 2005, earning his real estate salesperson license that same year and his broker's license in 2010. With Century 21, he brokered the sale of small and medium-sized businesses, including convenience stores, restaurants, and more in the greater Sacramento area.

Following Rick's relocation to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2013, he joined Marcus & Millichap as a specialist in their hospitality brokerage division. He achieved immense success selling independent boutique hotels all over Northern California, from the Central Coast to the Monterey Bay. He was also very active in the Sierra Foothills and the Sacramento area. The entrepreneurial bug in Rick prompted him to establish and run his own Commercial Real Estate brokerage business for 6 years in affiliation with Sperry Commercial Global Affiliates.

Realizing that to serve his clients better, it would be helpful to align with a firm that has a team of active and successful brokers and back-end staff. Rick has now joined forces with Intero Commercial, a boutique full service Commercial Real Estate company based in the San Francisco Bay area. Rick is now focused on helping family-owned Commercial Real Estate property and business owners primarily in the East Bay Area cities of Pleasanton, Livermore and Dublin. He will also continue to serve hospitality property owners spread over Northern California.
