2027 edition · Research reviewed November 7, 2026
Greensboro–High Point retail landlords should compare the proposed leasing campaign at the property level. An institutional shopping-center appointment, a small multi-tenant building and a repositioning assignment do not automatically call for the same team. We selected four practices with relevant local evidence and used the nine brokerage criteria to distinguish their likely fit. These are editorial recommendations for an interview shortlist, with company statements separated from demonstrated public roles.

Using these criteria, we identify one #1 editorial recommendation for the assignment described below and compare other qualified options.

CBRE — an identifiable shopping-center team
Lydia Whitley’s profile describes work with institutional shopping-center owners and participation in the Triad retail leasing team. CBRE: Lydia Whitley We would include this national-company option when an owner wants a defined local team and an organized approval process. Ask who prepares recommendations, who handles prospect contact and how reporting will align with the owner’s asset-management decisions.
NAI Piedmont Triad — High Point leasing evidence
NAI’s May 2025 announcement attributes a retail lease on Samet Drive and a retail renewal on Premier Drive to Nancy Cox as landlord representative. NAI Piedmont Triad: May 2025 transactions These dated examples establish the side of the transaction and local activity. They make the regional practice a useful comparison for an owner seeking both new leasing and renewal work, without implying current occupancy or measured tenant-retention performance.
Brown Investment Properties — leasing with wider property services
Brown offers landlord representation, market research and site analysis. Brown Investment Properties: brokerage services Its current roster identifies retail among Ryan Eversole’s landlord specialties. Brown Investment Properties: broker biographies We would consider Brown where the owner wants to discuss the space in the context of other property decisions. Ask which work is included in the leasing fee and which services would be separately scoped.
Joubran Commercial Properties — direct local marketing
The practice’s High Point listing for 106 Westover Drive names JJ Joubran as the retail broker. Joubran: 106 Westover Drive, High Point We include this locally focused alternative for an owner who wants direct accountability on a smaller retail assignment. The listing is evidence of marketing involvement, not proof of availability or a completed transaction. Request a current campaign outline for your property.
Choose on the proposed work, then verify capacity
Give every finalist the same vacancy schedule, space condition, operating restrictions and owner objectives. Ask for a reasoned prospect list, a tour-feedback format and a point at which the campaign would be revised. For an offer, require assumptions about concessions and owner work to be shown clearly. Compare the lead broker’s capacity and competing assignments as well as the firm’s resources. We found service and local-role evidence, but no consistent independently audited measure of results across these practices. Current references and a property-specific plan should determine the final appointment.
