Author Biography

Gerald Oliver is a nationally recognized commercial real estate professional with over 30 years of experience. Although he had no experience or connections, Gerald answered a three line ad in the Chicago Tribune. He was fortunate to be hired as the manager of a commercial office building in the Chicago suburbs. That began a 32-year span of work in commercial real estate management.

Gerald was successful and worked his way up, eventually heading the national property management of a Dallas-based real estate investment trust. Along the way, Gerald directly managed, and then later supervised, the management of over 250 high-rise office, industrial, and retail properties across the US. His teams were successful, winning several major awards, including the Chicago Sun Times 'Property Management Firm of the Year' and the prestigious Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) 'International Office Building of the Year' (TOBY).

Gerald has been active as a teacher and author. He has helped educate and hire hundreds of property professionals… many of whom have gone on to very successful careers.

Gerald is active in aviation as a pilot. The family has owned and operated a vintage 1942 Piper J-3 Cub for the past 15 years, along with several other aircraft. He volunteers for the Commemorative Air Force, a WWII aircraft flying museum, where he serves on the board of the Foundation. Gerald and Kathy have established the Oliver / Granger Scholarship Fund at Olivet Nazarene University as a way to help students in business and education.

After living in Springfield, IL for 30 years, Gerald and Kathy moved to Chicago in 1984, and then to Dallas in 2008 where they now reside. They have two adult children and nine grandchildren.
