Professional Profile
I am Hal Hanstein, President of Cardinal Realty Group based in St. Louis Missouri.
I have over 36 years’ experience in Commercial Real Estate. I started my Commercial Real Estate Career in 1982 as Vice President of Yorkshire Village Inc. For 17 years I learned my profession, managing and leasing retail, office, and industrial space. I also headed the new home division of the Koch Family business, developing residential subdivisions, building and selling new single-family homes. My mentor, Adrian Koch taught me many lessons with the most important one of my life being, “to never ask a man to do what you are unwilling to do yourself.” During my employment with Adrian Koch at Yorkshire Village Inc., I accomplish many things including a Masters Degree in Real Estate Management from Webster University, President of the Webster Groves Chamber of Commerce, Business Person of the Year for Webster Groves, received an Honorary Lifetime membership in AAR. I was a board member of the St. Louis Association of Realtors CCIM Chapter, Webster Groves Economic Development Task Force, and the Webster Groves Economic Development Commission.
Then in 2000, I moved on to the Brokerage side of the business as a sales associate with the Lechner Realty Group where I learned the ins and outs of a commercial real estate brokerage. During my time at Lechner Realty Group, I completed some high profile sales including; land for the Rolls Royce/Bentley dealership and Old Spaghetti Factory in Chesterfield Valley, the sale of the former Benjamin Moore Paint manufacturing facility in St. Louis and the sale of Bentley Plaza to an out of town investor.
In 2002 I took the position as Director of Leasing for Commercial Development Company. There I helped lease and manage large industrial projects throughout the Midwest including an ABB Plant in Muncie Indiana, a Nalgolhide plant in Port Clinton Ohio, a Fruit of Loom Plant in Saint Martinville Louisiana, a brass plant in Cleveland Ohio and a portfolio of Tuffy’s located throughout the USA.
In January 2004, I went into business for myself opening the first office of Cardinal Realty Group in St. Peters Missouri. Since then I have completed over $22 million of Single Tenant NNN investment to foreign investors from Russia, China, and Vietnam not to mention 100’s of transactions in the St. Louis Metro. My motto is, “unseen is untold is unsold!” My marketing strategy gets results for my clients. I am doing what I love to do best, helping people buy, sell, lease Commercial Real Estate in St. Louis.
