Founder

Campbell Mathewson

“I started CMRE Partners to advise families and their enterprises - to help them steward real estate, not churn it. More than three decades in, it still comes down to judgment: what to hold, what to build, how to refinance, and when to act. If your real estate holdings have grown complicated, I'd enjoy the conversation.”
Campbell Mathewson, Founder and Managing Partner of CMRE Partners

Founder & Managing Partner

Campbell Mathewson has more than three decades of experience advising on real estate strategy and execution across property types and market cycles.

He founded CMRE Partners so families could hand the whole real estate decision to one person: someone who can form the portfolio strategy, test the alternatives, coordinate specialist teams, and personally carry the chosen path through negotiation and closing.

Before CMRE Partners, Campbell served as Executive Vice President and Designated Broker of CenturyPacific, the real estate partnership affiliated with Davis Wright Tremaine. His career began in Washington, DC as a Legislative Assistant to US Senator Slade Gorton.

Away from the practice, Campbell is an investor in professional sports teams including Leeds United FC, the Seattle Seawolves, and Querétaro FC, and an avid adventure traveler who has visited more than 110 countries. He and his wife, Melissa, live in Kirkland and have two children.
