Steve Yeager - Broker/Owner
Steve Yeager has been actively involved in the real estate industry since 1975. Beginning my career in Topeka, Kansas as a broker/manager of a residential real estate company with 12 broker agents, I found my forte was in the commercial aspect of the business. After four years on the residential side of the business I made the switch to retail leasing by becoming a leasing representative in 1979 for the Macerich Company, a national shopping center developer based in Santa Monica, California. After several relocations in the first four years with Macerich I was relocated in 1982 to Boulder, Colorado. I was part of the team that was challenged with the second redevelopment of the then Crossroads Mall (Boulder). Without the benefit of any pre-leasing, the two level addition of 119 new Tenants comprising 528,000 sf were all built, leased and opened within a 12 month period. This was accomplished with 92% occupancy at opening, which was quickly followed within six months to 96% occupancy. I remained in Colorado working at various times with five other retail shopping centers in Colorado as well as nine other shopping centers in the greater mid west area. I have negotiated in the excess of 1,000 lease documents as senior leasing manager. In 2005, I left the Macerich Company to pursue my career as a broker with Lampert Properties, which in 2007 merged with David/Hicks Brokerage to become David, Hicks & Lampert Brokerage. I participated as part of the brokerage Team that leased the 1.7M sf Southlands Town Center from 2006 to 2009. Instrumental in the ground-up development and leasing of the first-ever major retail development on a military installation – Freedom Crossing at Fort Bliss. In 2016, I formed GroupG Real Estate, a company dedicated to providing personalized service to national, regional and local retail and restaurant Tenants, in addition to extensive experience with Landlord representation. The GroupG Real Estate company is built on the cornerstones of Integrity and honesty. GroupG makes available the following services: Market Research & Analysis, Site Selection, Lease Negotiations, Space Planning & Design, Acquisition or Disposition Needs and Lease Execution, Administration and Residential Representation. Individualized and custom attention is what GroupG provides to its clients, along with the experience of a “veteran” within the shopping center, commercial and residential real estate industry.
