LCB Associates, established in September 1979, is a long-standing commercial real estate firm based in Oakland, California. Founded by Steven H. Banker, whose family has deep roots in the real estate industry, LCB stands for Leon Chester Banker, Steve's grandfather. This firm, which was incorporated in June 2002 as LCB Commercial Real Estate, emphasizes a small-scale approach that ensures exceptional service and superior market knowledge.
With a strong legacy and a commitment to quality, LCB Associates has been effectively serving its clients through a range of services including sales, leasing, property management, and consulting. The firm has cultivated a reputation for integrity and competence, all while managing 42 properties across its limited geographic area. The business philosophy maintains that focusing on a smaller area allows for better control over quality and client relationships, thus enhancing the overall experience.
In 2015, Brad Banker, continuing the family tradition as the fourth generation Banker to enter the East Bay market, joined the firm, reinforcing both its family-oriented ethos and its commitment to the community. The team currently consists of two broker associates and three employees, which reflects the firm's dedication to personalized service. By prioritizing client satisfaction and informed market engagement, LCB Associates stands out as a steadfast partner in commercial real estate, making significant contributions to the development and enhancement of Oakland's real estate landscape.
