As a principal, Matt Ritter, 47, leads the commercial business of Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors, the Denver-based brokerage he co-founded in 2006. Beyond his involvement with the Denver Metropolitan Commercial Association of Realtors and the Young Presidents Association, Ritter also serves on the board of directors for FirstBank.

Ritter said he likes the people aspect of commercial real estate and forming friendships with clients, investors, and employees. “Always taking care of your clients and looking out for their best interests is a byproduct of having a great culture,” he said. “It’s definitely all about the people in the relationships.”

Ritter has also made waves buying about 400,000 square feet of office properties with Pinnacle’s sister company, Knightbridge Capital, last year. “We’ve been buying office buildings, which is obviously super contrarian right now,” he said. “The thesis is that a third of the office buildings in the world have terminal cancer, and all of them are priced like they do. Our intention is to buy the third that are great buildings but just priced poorly because the market is in disarray.”
