Schmidt’s Gems and Fine Jewelry

Client Background

Brian and Brenda Giere are the owners of Schmidt’s Gems and Fine Jewelry, a well-known and trusted business in the Fargo Moorhead community. As long-time business owners, they understood the importance of making smart, well-informed real estate decisions that would support both their business operations and long-term growth.

After working with several real estate agencies over the years, they were looking for a commercial real estate partner who would take the time to understand their business, their goals, and their future plans.

That is when they connected with Goldmark Commercial Real Estate.

As Brenda shared,
“What turned us on to Goldmark Commercial versus some of the other agencies was the fact that they really took the time to sit down and get to know our business and what we were looking for.”

The Challenge

Brian and Brenda were not looking for a one-time transaction. They needed a knowledgeable partner who could help guide them through multiple types of real estate decisions over time, from commercial property ownership to land acquisition.

They wanted a team that would listen, communicate clearly, and remain responsive throughout every step of the process.

“We were fortunate enough to find our Goldmark Commercial agent, and we knew right then that that was the right fit for us. He took the time, he listened to us, and he made sure all of our needs were being met.”

Goldmark Commercial’s team-based approach allowed the Gieres to feel confident as they moved forward with increasingly complex transactions, knowing they had the right expertise supporting them.

The Results

Over the course of their partnership with Goldmark Commercial, Brian and Brenda completed multiple real estate transactions, including:

  • The purchase of a commercial building
    • Leasing space for a separate retail business
    • The purchase of farmland

Brian highlighted the professionalism and follow-through that set Goldmark Commercial apart.

“The aspects of Goldmark Commercial that impressed us the most were how thorough they were and how knowledgeable they were,” he said.
“One of the biggest things for me was that they got back to you.”

Client Experience

Today, Brian and Brenda consider Goldmark Commercial a long-term partner rather than just a brokerage.

“We would definitely recommend Goldmark Commercial for any commercial needs,” Brian said.
“We will never work with anybody else again. They have shown what they can do.”

Brenda echoed that sentiment, adding,
“We would 100 percent recommend Goldmark Commercial to anybody.”

The Bottom Line

For the owners of Schmidt’s Gems and Fine Jewelry, working with Goldmark Commercial has meant having a trusted advisor who understands both their business and their broader real estate goals.

As Brian put it simply,
“They have earned it.”
