Erik Riekenberg
Erik came to commercial real estate the way most clients come to it: from the operator's chair. Fifteen years in the corporate world at Intuit, more than twenty years building and running his own business, and an electrical engineering degree from the University of Nevada, Reno, in a market where power is now the gating site selection variable. He represents tenants and landlords in lease negotiations and buyers and sellers in sales, and he reads a client's operation because he has run one.
Verifiable, in spec-sheet form
Where the conversations usually start
Personality, rendered as specification
Native Nevadan
Born and raised. Lake Tahoe is the backyard: skiing, golfing, hiking, and paddle boarding.
1,000,000 Vertical Feet
Joined the million-vertical-feet ski club in a single season. Still wanted more.
700 Weddings
Two decades as one of Reno-Tahoe's most booked wedding DJs. Seven hundred best days of other people's lives, executed flawlessly.
The Skydive
Nearly died skydiving on his birthday. Caught the whole thing on video. Kept the footage.
Family
Husband to his wife and business partner, dad to a teenager, and staff to a golden doodle.
The Engineer
An electrical engineering degree in an industry where power availability decides deals. Not a wall credential. He uses it.
"My own experience running a business shapes how I approach tenant rep: the goal isn't just always finding space, it's protecting what my client is building."
