Ian Pattison joined Entre Commercial Realty in 2025 to help with the firm’s growth and expansion. Prior to joining Entre, Ian began his commercial real estate career in 2018 at a smaller boutique firm under the mentorship of Brad Bullington, a 20+ year industry veteran. After demonstrating a fundamental understanding of the industry, Brad asked Ian to team up in 2020 to support his thriving practice.

By assisting owners and users across the various industry sectors, Ian continues to develop his knowledge of the intricate Chicagoland industrial real estate markets. He enjoys learning directly from business owners the different requirements needed for their unique operations and helping create customized solutions to achieve their goals. Ian utilizes effective communication skills to advocate for his clients’ best interests throughout negotiations from start to finish, successfully executing dozens of transactions ranging from local craftsmen to national distributorships, including leases near LAX & MIA airports for a US Customs bonded warehouse operator. These experiences have deepened his expertise on industrial properties and users, expanding the capabilities he can provide to his clients.

Ian graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Financial Management and is an avid golfer.

Brad’s journey into commercial real estate began in 1998 after graduating from Illinois State University with a degree in Communications/Business. His background gave him a solid foundation for understanding both the interpersonal and financial aspects of the industry.

Brad’s career path involved working with three different commercial real estate firms, handling complex challenges and building a strong and loyal clientele over time. Brad started working in the O’Hare industrial market for a local firm until 2004 when he helped open Brown Commercial Group where he built a deep understanding of the market. He remained there for 5 years before joining GC Realty and Development in 2009. Brad’s focus on the industrial outdoor storage market within the transportation and logistics sector has been a key part of his success. By carving out a niche in this specialized area, he has been able to build deeper relationships with clients who require storage solutions for large-scale operations.

Brad joined Entre in 2025 to help lead the firm’s endeavors in the O’Hare market and further expand the company’s expertise in the industrial outdoor storage and transportation sectors.

Brad has developed a strong reputation for understanding the unique challenges and needs of businesses of all types, especially when dealing with clients that have specific space, accessibility, and zoning requirements.
