Mr. Hauptman's professional philosophy is to provide real estate services that build value for both tenants and investors. Specializing in turning around troubled properties, Mr. Hauptman has a solid history of helping properties grow in value. His knowledge of retail and office leasing has consistently led to occupancy rates far in excess of the market average.

Mr. Hauptman, a Certified Commercial-Investment Member (CCIM), Licensed Real Estate Broker and Licensed Builder, joined Swisher Commercial in 1993 as a broker and property manager after working for the Dietz Organization (now Hendricks & Partners) in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

In 2002 he sold his interest in Swisher to focus on building upon the success of Oxford Company, a full-service real estate company he built from the ground up.
