Industrial & Small-Bay Real Estate Across the Cincinnati Tri-State
Primary focus: Hamilton County, Butler County (West Chester, Liberty Township, Fairfield, Hamilton), and Warren County (Mason, Monroe) — with deals regularly reaching across the broader Southwest Ohio region. I also work Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana deals through partner eXp Commercial agents when a transaction crosses state lines.
About this page
Grady Collins is a commercial real estate agent with eXp Commercial, focused on small-bay industrial and contractor garages across Hamilton, Butler, and Warren counties. Before real estate, Grady started in audit at Deloitte and spent years in financial leadership inside public and private companies, including financial oversight of a $3.5 billion enterprise spanning more than 500 legal entities. He holds a BSBA in accounting from Ohio State. That background shows up in how he underwrites a deal: he reads the numbers the way an operator does, not just the way a broker does. Grady's also the principal at Main Street Exit Partners, a business brokerage for owner-led companies in the Cincinnati area. If selling the business itself, not just the building, is part of your plans, that's worth a conversation too.
