About Us

Denise Brohoski is the founder, owner, and Principal Broker of Commercial Real Estate NW (CRENW), bringing more than two decades of commercial real estate experience, disciplined strategy, and market insight to the commercial real estate landscape. Built on the bedrock philosophy that client objectives always come first, Denise has established CRENW as a trusted advisory firm recognized for her clients through unwavering integrity, and hands-on, high-touch advocacy.

With a career defined by sitting on every side of the transaction table—representing institutional and private landlords, regional and national tenants, buyers, and sellers—Denise holds a rare 360-degree perspective on deal dynamics. She understands the underlying financial motivations, leverage points, and risk thresholds of counterparties before negotiations even begin. This vantage point makes her an experienced negotiator, whether structuring long-term corporate leases, orchestrating complex acquisitions, navigating 1031 tax-deferred exchanges, or maximizing returns on asset dispositions.

Denise’s multi-disciplinary expertise spans the full commercial spectrum, including office, retail, medical office, industrial, multi-family, and commercial land development. Beyond brokerage, she acts as a comprehensive strategic advisor, integrating financial modeling, site selection, lease vs. purchase analyses, zoning and entitlements evaluation, asset repositioning, and competitive market underwriting into every assignment. Her methodical approach treats each transaction as a bespoke puzzle, engineering custom solutions that protect equity, mitigate operational exposure, and drive long-term asset value.

A recognized fixture in the Portland business community, Denise stays deeply connected to market indicators and professional networks through active involvement in the Commercial Association of Realtors, Rotary International, and LeTip International. Outside the office, she channels that same energy into personal passions alongside her husband—whether traveling, gardening, culinary cooking, hosting gatherings, or hiking Pacific Northwest trails.
