Arizona broker managers to know for 2024
Mindy Korth
Executive vice president

Rachelle Strole
Owner and founder
Capital Asset Management
Surprising fact: “I have lived in three different countries. From an early age, I’ve had a passion for traveling and I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to immerse myself in different cultures and experience how others live.”
Strole has worked in the commercial real estate sector for more than three decades, with a current focus in development and management.
Biggest career accomplishment: “Creating a development arm of Capital Asset Management. CAM’s initial focus was property management and leasing, so it has been very rewarding to branch out into the development world and see what we can create for our communities.”
Eric Termansen
Founding partner
Western Retail Advisors
Termansen’s career in commercial real estate spans more than three decades, the last 22 years of which, he has served as the founding partner of Western Retail Advisors (WRA).

No. 1 on the commercial real estate bucket list: “To see my team exceed what they think is possible. Many of our brokers joined our firm with limited brokerage experience or even as new to the industry. Creating a culture and infrastructure that allows people to build great lives for their families makes me want to be around for a long time to watch — and help — them achieve their goals.”
