Tulsa’s Best Businesses: CBRE

Bill M. founded Tulsa Properties, Inc. which then became Tusla Properties Management, Inc. in 1986 and then in January 2000 Tulsa Properties entered into a partnership with CB Richard Ellis, The World’s Largest commercial real estate company.*
Some of their clients in the Tulsa area are Albertsons, F&M Bank and Trust, Gatesway Foundation, Hillcrest Medical Center and the list continues with many respected well-known businesses. CBRE is a global corporation. There is interesting information about the Tulsa partnership on their site.


The founder of this great Tulsa company has a strong character quality that has helped him in his great accomplishments through out the years, and that is discernment. In Travis Jones’ book*, you will find that the difference between Bill’s company and his competitors is that he simply hires better people! They are motivated internally. He helps them to overcome the reluctance to make phone calls. He trains them in how to close business deals so that everyone wins. He says it took him 20 years to learn how to select the right people. (I love this part) Mr. M. says it’s not a matter of education, but of desire. A person with only an eighth-grade education, with the proper training, can do this job!”
The employees are so well trained within this company that they never want to leave. Here is a success to be admired . . . “Eight out of ten people who are trained by Bill become successful brokers of commercial real estate.”
Discernment is a character trait in which one has the ability to understand why things happen. Bill has this ability in dealing with personalities. He has spent his career studying and learning how people respond in different business situations and that has made a very important difference in his amazing successes.
