As the leading broker in hangar and aviation real estate, Robert has sold more aviation property than any other broker in Central Oregon. In addition to selling the Epic and Cessna manufacturing plants at the Bend Airport, Robert has sold over $20 million of aviation-related properties at various airports, including Bend, Redmond, and Prineville. Aviation properties are complex due to government oversight, and Robert has been instrumental in guiding clients and creating a seamless process for acquiring tarmac-related properties. Robert has developed and managed commercial property in Bend since 1980 and is familiar with the challenges of real estate acquisition and disposition in a rapidly growing community. Robert provides a needed personal experience to buyers and tenants of mixed-use properties or commercial centers. Aside from his commercial real estate ventures, Robert has served under four Oregon governors, gaining 14 years of business recruiting and marketing experience. As a Business Development Officer for the Oregon Economic Development Department, he assisted large employers in the site selection process, which often consisted of communicating and collaborating with federal, state and local governments. Complex zoning issues required custom research, mitigation of special interests, modeling, and negotiations leading up to project implementation. Before working in economic development, Robert had several years of experience in engineering, construction and financial analysis working for Fortune 500 companies. Robert is a dedicated community leader in Central Oregon and beyond. He currently serves as a Board Member at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, ID. He previously served as a Board Member for four years at the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council and two years on its Loan Committee, where he showcased both his governance and financial expertise. His three-year involvement in the Oregon Marketplace Program Advisory Committee and leadership roles at Economic Development for Central Oregon exemplify his dedication to economic growth throughout Central Oregon. “When I decided to sell my theater, Robert Raimondi was the first person I thought to call. I’ve known him socially for over ten years, and I’ve seen how hard he works. He did a “soft listing” with only brokers knowing the place was for sale, and within two weeks, he brought in several potential buyers. He got an all-cash offer, brought it to me and I accepted. All the paperwork was done carefully and clearly, which I appreciated very much. When there was a glitch in the sale right before closing, Robert gave me advice as to how to handle the situation with my neighbor who was causing the glitch. The problem was solved, the sale went through, and I would recommend Robert Raimondi to anyone considering selling or buying real estate.” — Maralyn Thoma “I have used Robert Raimondi from Compass Commercial as my go to commercial realtor for the last decade. He has always taken care of my clients needs with the attention to detail needed. With his knowledge of the real estate industry in Central Oregon coupled with his extensive business background I know Robert will take care of my clients while working together as a team every time.” — Doug Strain, Doug Strain Construction “I have known Robert Raimondi for many years. I did not know that he had moved over to commercial real estate so I initially signed with another broker. The 2007 recession hit very hard and I received very little and difficult offers for the next two years. I turned to Robert at Compass who took over with much compassion and professionalism. Immediately, we started getting a better class of offers. We were able to rent a suite in the building which made it possible to sell the building at a better price due to the strategy. These were very difficult times and Robert and the team at Compass really came through. I appreciated Robert’s counsel and compassion and would recommend him highly.” — David B. Coutin, MD “Peter May and Robert Raimondi guided me and my wife Olivia on the sale of our LEED Gold Mixed-Use building in NorthWest Crossing. They represented us as the seller and another team in their office represented the buyer. Both teams did an outstanding job which resulted in an enjoyable experience and quick closing for all parties. We also work with Compass on a daily basis in our architecture business designing projects. We highly recommend them.” — Scott Steele, President, Steele Associates Architects LLC “Peter May and Robert Raimondi were professional when it came to our purchase of Cascade Graphics. We had a very aggressive timeframe in which to close the business and these guys got the job done without a hitch. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.” — Brad & Wendy Marlin, Owners, Cascade Graphics
