My Team
Mark Kolsrud
Senior Vice President
Minneapolis - St. Paul
As the Senior Vice President for Colliers’ Investment Services Group in Minneapolis-St. Paul, I lead my team to success through proven processes. My team focus is mainly on industrial, office, medical-office, and single-tenant net lease; both locally and nationally.
My broad real estate capital markets knowledge and expertise reflects my 30-year career experience in the commercial brokerage business. During this time, I have worked with nearly every major owner in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, either through Investment Sales or Landlord representation. I have experience in multi-market cycles and have become one of the top brokers in the Minneapolis area, and globally transacting more than $3.5 billion.
Having been in the business since 1984, I know how to best benefit the client. My number one priority when serving a client is their experience, both for the buyer and the seller. This experience is built off of a vision and collaboration. A project is best completed through a thought out plan put into action.
I joined Colliers International in February of 2016. As the Client Services Specialist for the Colliers MSP Investment Services team, I am responsible for designing and creating all marketing collateral as well as providing creative input for the team. Primarily working in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, I create the marketing brochures, offering memorandums, proposals, maps, site plans, financial information, and demographic reports.
As a Financial Analyst in the Investment Services department at Colliers International | Minneapolis-St. Paul, I provide underwriting, valuation and financial analysis for the Investment Services team.
Additionally, I provide lease analysis, lease comparisons and building valuations to brokers throughout the Colliers MSP offices.
I am intimately involved in the financial analysis process from start to finish and my understanding of the overall market enables me to effectively analyze a property and provide an accurate valuation estimation and recommendation.
Prior to joining Colliers MSP, I began my career at NorthMarq Capital LLC directly after graduating with a BA in Finance from the University of Saint Thomas. As a Loan Portfolio Analyst at NorthMarq, I learned the financial intricacies owners and operators face in operating, acquiring, and disposing commercial properties.
I have been able to translate the skills I learned in my undergraduate coursework as well as my four years at NorthMarq Capital into my new, dynamic role at Colliers MSP.
Outside of the CRE industry I volunteer at my church with a program that supports teens and adults with special needs. Additionally, I have been an assistant coach for the Minnetonka High School Varsity Lacrosse team since 2013.
