Since founding Travers Realty in Westwood in 1978, Jim Travers has the commercial real estate landscape by championing occupier representation over traditional tenant brokerage. Over his influential 50-year career, Travers has represented occupiers exclusively, overseeing more than 200 million square feet of transactions. He collaborates closely with C-suite executives across major US corporations, helping them leverage real estate as a strategic asset to enhance competitive advantage. As the original architect of tenant-only representation, he has transformed how corporate leaders approach office space, aiding them in talent retention, office footprint optimization, and maximizing lease value.

Among Travers’ recent accomplishments is the landmark 140,000-square-foot transaction with TCW. He was also the driving force behind the major lease of the Century City twin towers, encompassing 52,000 square feet, and the substantial 82,000-square-foot lease for the prestigious law firm Jones Day in downtown Los Angeles.
