Davis Stirling’s Chris Behling Wins CoStar’s Q1 2026 Power Broker Quarterly Deals Award for the San Francisco Bay Area

BURLINGAME, Calif. — May 4, 2026 — CoStar Group, Inc. has named Chris Behling of Davis Stirling Real Estate Investment Management a winner of its CoStar Power Broker Quarterly Deals Award for Q1 2026. The award recognizes top deals executed in the San Francisco Bay Area, ranked by price and square footage.

A third-generation investment manager with over 20 years of experience, Behling closed notable commercial leasing transactions across the Peninsula this quarter. Highlights include a downtown San Mateo retail lease that achieved a premium rental rate with minimal tenant improvement concessions, reflecting disciplined 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 win underscores Davis Stirling’s boutique, family-run approach. Unlike national chains, Davis Stirling owners work directly with experienced principals who manage properties from Burlingame to Palo Alto. The firm handles leasing, maintenance, and in-house accounting under one roof, with an emergency line that reaches principals directly.

The CoStar Power Broker Quarterly Deals program highlights the top commercial real estate transactions in each market, selected from data verified across CoStar’s research network. Recognition in the San Francisco Bay Area places Davis Stirling among the region’s most active dealmakers in a quarter marked by selective tenant demand and a renewed focus on well-located retail and office space along the Peninsula.

For Davis Stirling, the honor reinforces a strategy built on direct owner relationships and long-term asset performance rather than transaction volume alone. Looking ahead to the remainder of 2026, the company plans to continue expanding its commercial and residential management portfolio across San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties while maintaining the hands-on service that defines its boutique approach.
