Mike Hemphill is a Principal at The Andover Company with more than 30 years of commercial real estate experience. His practice is built on corporate client representation: tenant advisory, site selection, lease restructuring, and build-to-suit analysis for industrial and office occupiers.
Mike has been involved in lease transactions exceeding 5 million square feet and investment sales valued at more than $400 million. Representative clients include Nordstrom, The Boeing Company, Whole Foods, Zones, Inc., Puget Sound Energy, Fatigue Technology, Metzler North America, EC Company, and AFL Hyperscale. He holds a Bachelor of Science from Washington State University and an MBA from the University of Oregon.
Mike's clients tend to stay with him for decades and multiple lease cycles, because the work is about the client's business first and the building second. He now leads the Hemphill team with his son Ben, pairing long institutional memory of the Kent Valley market with a modern, data-driven process.
Mike was a PGA golf professional at Sahalee Country Club. He serves on the board of Sammamish Little League and has coached for years with Issaquah Parks and Recreation and the Washington State Junior Golf Association. Mike and his wife have four children and live in Sammamish.
