About Us
Get to know Hughes Marino on a deeper level
Hughes Marino was born out of a single idea: Provide tenants and buyers with the representation they deserve.
In a time when commercial real estate brokerages worked almost exclusively in the service of landlords, Hughes Marino knew the commercial real estate industry was due for a revolution. Breaking away from the traditional brokerage model, the team became pioneers in the field of tenant representation by championing the underdog — advocating for companies that had never before gotten a fair shake at the bargaining table when going up against sophisticated landlords in their negotiations for commercial space.
Now, decades later, Hughes Marino is one of the most highly regarded tenant representation firms in the country, specializing in helping corporate tenants and buyers. We offer a complete range of solutions for business owners and corporate real estate decision makers throughout the nation and around the globe. Hughes Marino is 100% family owned, which means that we don’t have to answer to shareholders, and our sole fiduciary is to protect the interests of our valued clients.
Who We Are
Over the years, Hughes Marino has nurtured a collaborative and people-focused culture that fuels innovation. As a family-owned and locally-operated business, our team believes in creating lasting relationships based on trust. We cultivate those relationships by taking amazing care of the people behind the companies, nonprofits and municipalities that make our communities wonderful places to live, play and do business.
Above all, the things that set us apart from other companies are the ten Core Values that guide everything we do. Each member of the Hughes Marino team lives and breathes these values every day, as they strive to deliver excellence, and to always do the right thing for our clients, our company and our community.
Where We're Headed
From our beginnings as a small, independent firm headquartered in San Diego, we have expanded to provide commercial real estate services to clients nationwide, from Honolulu, to Seattle, to New York City – and everyplace in between. Through the years, we’ve proven that focusing exclusively on tenants and buyers is not just a niche specialization – it’s the future of our industry.
By challenging the status quo and defining a vision of how things ought to be, Hughes Marino has changed the game for the end users of commercial space everywhere. Thanks to our family-owned leadership and amazing team, we are able to deliver service to our clients unlike anything they could have experienced in decades past. It’s this heritage that defines who we are and what we do today.
