KIRKLAND, Washington June 15, 2021: OneAccord is pleased to announce its client, local commercial real estate giant Craig Kinzer, has joined CBRE Group, the largest commercial real estate services and investment firm in the world. The sale of Craig’s firm, Kinzer Partners, to his long-time partners will take place over a 12-month transition period. OneAccord served as the exclusive financial advisor to Craig Kinzer and Kinzer Partners in the transactions.
“More than ever before, cutting edge research and workplace strategy are critical to clients today, and CBRE’s platform is the best in the industry," said Kinzer. “I very much appreciate the expertise, advice and wisdom the OneAccord team provided in managing the process, negotiations and final closure in this next chapter for myself and Kinzer Partners.”
Kinzer is an industry veteran with nearly four decades of experience and more than $15 billion in transaction volume. He has led and executed projects totaling over 25 million square feet and has worked with many of the Puget Sound region’s largest organizations to facilitate projects of significant scale, including more than 30 standalone headquarters buildings and urban campuses.
“Few brokers in our industry today have had a greater impact on Seattle’s skyline than Craig,” said John R.

Craig’s knowledge and experience, combined with CBRE’s reach and resources, will create a strong competitive advantage for our clients.”
