Graham brings his ‘client first’ professional approach to Compass Commercial and believes strongly that communication, honesty and transparency are critical to the success of any real estate investment. He has been successfully partnering with his clients to achieve and exceed their individual real estate objectives, even during some very challenging economic times.

He joined Compass Commercial in 2013 following more than ten years with CBRE Global Investors, where he advised clients on acquisitions, dispositions, development and repositioning of real estate assets within their investment portfolios. He also assisted in the underwriting and financial analyses for several high profile real estate development projects at Bentall Capital.

Graham has extensive experience working through complicated sale and lease transactions across all product types including office, industrial, retail, multi-family and development land. After nearly a decade with Compass Commercial, Graham has closed over $81,000,000 in sale transactions and has leased over 571,900 square feet of commercial space in Central Oregon.

In 2019, Graham was awarded shareholder at Compass Commercial and became the vice president in 2021 for a two-year term.

Graham serves as an Advisory Board member at Healing Reins Therapeutic Riding Center and the Board of Advisory Directors of US Bank National Association for Central and Eastern Oregon. He is a former member on the Development Committee for the United Way of Deschutes County.

Testimonials

“Jay Lyons, Graham Dent and Grant Schultz have been excellent, providing tremendous service with both leasing and later sale of our commercial property. Their expertise, professionalism, and sound judgment provided added value. I’d recommend Jay, Graham and Grant for your commercial real estate needs without reservation.” – Philip Farrington, planning and real estate development director, CDC Management Corp., Eugene

“I had a really great experience working with Graham Dent on our building purchase, the process was really smooth. I appreciate that he was willing to think outside the box concerning our offer/purchase strategy and it led to a great win.” — Jonathan Brosnan, 62990 18th St. Bend OR

“Graham was very positive in a recovering real estate market and advised us on what we needed to do to our building to achieve our desired results. With our type of property, he was able to achieve the highest price per square foot sale in the Bend area. Graham also performed many tasks for us that we felt took extra effort and time on his part. He was extremely easy to work with and his clients came first. Thanks, Graham for everything.” — Lee Land, Property Manager SDM Investments

“We selected Compass Commercial to sell our downtown Bend real estate because of knowing Steve Toomey and his service in the community plus a reputation of getting the job done. Steve and his associate Graham Dent did not disappoint us as our building sold and closed in three and one half months. We were very satisfied with the service and price we received. We would certainly recommend and use Compass Commercial again.” — Robert and Gail Olsen
