BURLINGAME, Calif. - May 4, 2026 - CoStar Group, Inc. has named Chris Behling of Davis Stirling Real Estate Investment Management a recipient of its CoStar Power Broker Quarterly Deals Award for Q1 2026. The award recognizes top commercial real estate transactions in the San Francisco Bay Area, evaluated by price and square footage.

Behling, a third-generation investment manager with more than 20 years of experience, completed several notable commercial leasing transactions across the Peninsula during the quarter. Among the highlights was a downtown San Mateo retail lease that secured a premium rental rate with limited tenant improvement concessions, demonstrating a measured and disciplined approach to negotiation.

"This recognition reflects how we work every day - hands-on, accountable, and close to the local market," said Behling. "We manage every property like an investment, not just an address."

The award draws attention to Davis Stirling's boutique, family-operated model. In contrast to national firms, Davis Stirling connects property owners directly with experienced principals who oversee assets from Burlingame to Palo Alto. The firm consolidates leasing, maintenance, and in-house accounting under one roof and provides an emergency line that connects clients directly to principals.

The CoStar Power Broker Quarterly Deals program identifies the leading commercial real estate transactions in each market, drawn from data verified through CoStar's research network. Earning recognition in the San Francisco Bay Area places Davis Stirling among the region's most active participants during a quarter defined by selective tenant demand and a renewed interest in well-positioned retail and office space along the Peninsula corridor.

For Davis Stirling, the recognition reinforces a long-standing strategy centered on direct owner relationships and sustained asset performance, rather than transaction volume alone. The firm continues to expand its commercial and residential management portfolio across San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties, guided by the same hands-on service principles that have shaped its boutique approach throughout its history.
