Licensed in the State of Oregon As a principal broker at Compass Commercial, Joel specializes in the leasing and sales of retail, office, and industrial properties. His expertise in client services and real estate allows Joel to help his clients expertly navigate the commercial real estate leasing, and sales negotiation process with care. Navigating that process can be daunting, and Joel helps take the guesswork out of the process. Joel also serves as an advisor for his clients on their existing real estate investments. Joel joined Compass Commercial in 2013, after spending the better part of two years running a statewide political campaign for Dr. Knute Buehler’s 2012 run for Oregon Secretary of State. Having grown up in Central Oregon, Joel has a great deal of insight into the growth and development of the community. With a background in finance, business development and political strategy, Joel has a wide range of experience that sets him apart and positions him well to assist individual clients and businesses in selecting the best investments to strategically fit their long-term financial goals. Joel is a loyal member of Rotary International and the Rotary Club of Greater Bend. As a Rotarian, Joel has donated his time and skills to a number of club initiatives, including chairing one of the club’s staple events, Pints for Polio. Joel also volunteers with local ballot initiative efforts and the United Way of Deschutes County. “I’ve worked with Compass Commercial as a tenant and as a property owner. They are very professional. Joel Thomas spent more than a year helping me sift through opportunities to purchase my own office building. I really appreciated his expert guidance through all stages of the purchase process.” – Brian Stallcop “We recently had occasion and need to sell some commercial property here in Central Oregon; and also to reinvest the proceeds through a 1031 exchange. — Joel Thomas of Compass Commercial here in Bend was very thorough in helping us navigate the sell and then buy opportunities we needed to deal with. In both instances, Joel was most helpful in communication, followup, and helping us finalize both transactions. We would highly recommend Joel and the Compass staff to care for your real estate needs.” — Tom Dehm “I have worked with Joel on a number of ventures and it always has been a real pleasure. He is extremely talented and able to see opportunities when other’s miss them. His ability to connect with people and objectively analyze complex problems allows him the vision to make deals happen. Having grown up in Central Oregon he has intimate knowledge of the communities here. He brings an overall savvy, experience, and integrity that serves clients well. I cannot recommend Joel more highly.” — Dr. Knute Buehler, Partner, The Center for Orthopedic and Neurosurgical Care and Research “Joel Thomas did a great job leasing our building! We own a retail building in Bend that has had the same tenant for over 20 years. When the tenant decided to move out, we employed Joel to help with leasing. Because of Joel’s dedication, hard work, and knowledge of the market, we were able to find a new tenant that is moving in the day after the previous tenant moves out. 0% vacancy! Joel is very talented and we highly recommend him for all of your real estate needs.” – Cort Vaughan, Commercial Building Owner “Joel Thomas was the quintessential professional as my business partner and I embarked on a new business path. Joel listened to our concerns and requests. He responded always in an entirely professional and timely manner. He provided direction and ideas all of which worked to give us several options from which we ultimately chose the best.” — Lynn Dalquist and Julie Watts, Owners, Peach Pilates “Joel Thomas went above and beyond in every area regarding our sale.” — Carol & Eldy Swendsen
