Commercial News
Meet the Team
By Catherine Erney
Xceligent
By now you should be familiar with
me and Angie – the COCIE team that
supports the Columbus commercial real
estate market. We also have fantastic
and capable support from our Xceligent
offices in Kansas City and Sedalia, Missouri.
Our group has a combined tenure
of 18 years with the company and 35
years working in commercial real estate.
Here we share a little insight about our
other team members.
Julie Miller, Sale Comparables
Researcher, began
her career with Xceligent
in September 2007 and is
a stand-out employee. Just
check out our COMPS to
see what a good job she does.
Julie says she approaches each property
record – whether it be for the sale of a
$250,000 Class C Office Building, or
a multi-million dollar sale of a group
of Industrial Buildings just east of the
Arena District – the same way. Her
research of each property begins on the
Auditor’s Web site, takes her through the
county Recorder’s site, the Ohio Secretary
of State’s office, Business First of
Columbus, a variety of press releases
and, hopefully, culminates with a phone
call/e-mail to a listing broker.
Columbus is hands down her favorite
market because brokers here are so
forthcoming with information, allowing
her to prepare the most complete comparables
possible. For that she extends a
heartfelt “thanks” to each and every one
of them!
Julie holds an Associates of Arts degree
in Environmental Science and a Bachelor’s
degree in English Literature, with
a minor in Creative Writing. She is the
mother of two, a sixteen-year-old daughter
and eight-year-old son, and is a wife,
sister and daughter.
If you have sales comparable information
for the database, you can reach Julie
at (816) 559-5966 or jmiller@xceligent.

Suzy Brooks, Business
Development Analyst, has
studied business development
and Psychology at
Penn Valley in Kansas City,
and has over 10 years of
great customer service and sales experience.
She joined the Xceligent/COCIE
team last September and works with
regional sales representatives.
Suzy enjoys competitive volleyball,
boating and is dedicated to volunteering
her time to build her community. She
also enjoys her two daughters and all
the joy they bring to life. “To love life
is to live it, and live it with passion.”
Jessica Kabler, Client Services
Representative, started
in Xceligent’s Customer
Care Department three years
ago, where she worked the
Dallas/San Antonio metro
area. As the department grew, she began
working the Nashville, Memphis and Little
Rock areas and, eventually, took over
Columbus, Oklahoma City, New Mexico,
and the recently launched, Omaha.
She trains brokers and their administrative
assistants on how to use the data base, reviews
new listings, runs a brochure report
and checks to make sure that the building
is mapped properly. She then searches for
potential tenants, runs a sales comp count
and sends this information to the listing
agent, where she verifies the information
with the agent for accuracy. She shows
the agent how to run reports, view tenants
that suit their needs and pull comps that
are of value in their area. She also answers
phone calls and e-mails and is the best in
our company at what she does. Do you see
a trend here?
Jessica has taken several real estate courses
at the local community college and plans to
take an appraisal course next. She has a fiveyear-old
daughter who will be starting her
first year of school this August.
Jessica can help you with tricky database
issues and answer any questions you might
have about how the system works. You
