Welcome to the Commercial Brokers Association!

The Commercial Brokers Association (CBA) is a member owned cooperative providing commercial real estate multiple listing services to its members since 1977. CBA is committed to the mission of providing members with current commercial listing information and to help increase their productivity. Members share a philosophy of ongoing communication and cooperation and are represented by a voluntary Board of Directors.

CBA's Research Staff gathers information on all available office, industrial and retail space in buildings that meet our research standards in eight Washington and Oregon counties. CBA's custom designed website is continuously updated by members as well as CBA's Research staff. Our user-friendly program is fully optimized across all technological platforms. Features of the website include listing searches (both map and criteria based), marketing tools, and numerous report options.

CBAcma, our Commercial Market Analysis product, is another tool available to CBA members - consisting of researched commercial property sales over $250,000 in eight Washington and Oregon counties.

In keeping with the ever-changing legalities of the industry, CBA also provides a Forms Library for our members' use. These forms have been carefully prepared by the Association's legal counsel and are the commercial industry standard.

CBA also provides education and networking opportunities for the commercial brokerage community, giving members access to clock hour classes to fulfill their licensing requirement, as well as forums to meet and make deals with their fellow brokers.

CBA Member Listings Now Receive National Exposure!

One of many benefits you receive as a CBA member is national exposure through our partnership with Commercial Exchange (CE), a national commercial real estate marketplace. Commercial Exchange brings together sale and lease availabilities sourced directly from brokers in Catylist’s network of 50+ local commercial real estate platforms in markets across the country.

When you post a listing to the CBA database, your listing is automatically added to CE, at no extra charge. This information, just like on the CBA website, is always verified and up to date.

What does this mean for you? If someone in another state or country is looking for a property with criteria that matches yours, they’ll see your listing and can easily access your contact information. And if your client wants to look at properties elsewhere in the nation, you can find up-to-date, verified listings that meet their needs, as well.

To visit the CE database, click here.

We will also discuss how to structure practical construction provisions that permit the tenant to build out its space and yet also protect the landlord. Learn the current economics of leases - base rent, adjustments, and the prevailing wisdom on the fair allocation of operating expenses. How should ‘tenant defaults’ be defined, and how can landlords fully recover all their damages when tenants default?

Discover how courts resolve issues where the landlord’s consent is required, and how landlords and tenants are agreeing in advance to limit or permit later transfers. Finally, join in on a discussion of lease provisions which address the financial concerns of landlords and lenders.
