Partners at SETT.
Every client engagement is guided by three senior partners with diverse, complementary backgrounds, each bringing deep domain expertise and a collaborative approach to delivering results.
Lamar leads SETT's Midwest operations, bringing deep experience in brokerage, investment and asset management. He has been involved in over $3 billion in transactions since 2005, with prior roles at Lee & Associates, Cushman & Wakefield, JLL, Tishman Speyer and Riverview Realty. An SIOR designee, he serves on boards for WREAA, SIOR, ReStart Inc. and MNCAR.
Alex co-leads SETT's Mountain West operations, bringing over 18 years of experience across $1.4 billion in commercial real estate transactions. Prior to SETT, he was Vice President at Dostart Development, underwriting, asset-managing and project-managing mixed-use and office developments. He previously held acquisitions, asset management and consulting roles at Tishman Speyer and The Weitzman Group.
Brian co-leads SETT's Mountain West operations, bringing over 15 years of experience in litigation and real estate investment and management. Prior to SETT, he litigated for over a decade in employment defense, handling class actions and ADA claims — recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star and Best Lawyers Ones to Watch. Earlier, he was a senior manager at a real estate property management firm.
REACH
Reach beyond our licensed states.
SETT is licensed across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Colorado, though our reach extends wherever our clients' portfolios take us.
Lamar's SIOR designation connects us to a global network of the most active industrial and office specialists in the business. When a client needs us in a market we don't cover directly, we have trusted people on the ground there — and a steady read on what's happening in markets across the country.

THE BRAND
What is a SETT?
A sett is a badger's den: a network of tunnels built carefully over time, where the animal lives, adapts, and protects what matters. Methodical, fully committed once engaged, and tenacious by disposition. We found the name appropriate.
