The Credera Difference: Kidder Mathews' Story

Consulting is more than building better businesses and meeting client needs; it's about solving the world’s biggest problems to create a better future. At Credera, this means living out our global, boutique approach by partnering with our clients to create deep relationships that generate extraordinary results. It means working through change, innovating the future, and creating lasting impact.

But what does it actually feel like to work with Credera? Finding a capable consulting partner isn’t the challenge. Finding a consulting partner you trust and enjoy working with is the real challenge.

So what makes Credera different?

We asked our clients to answer that question. Here’s what Kidder Mathews has to say about why Credera is a partner they trust and what we achieved together.

A Challenge Shared: Kidder Mathews' Story

Kidder Mathews is the largest independent commercial real estate firm on the West Coast, with over 900 professionals in 20 offices across five states. They offer a complete range of brokerage, appraisal, asset services, consulting, project and construction management, and debt and equity finance services for all property types.

Lynn Cirillo, Kidder Mathews' executive vice president of corporate operations, had a dream 20 years in the making to create a new software that would allow Kidder Matthews to streamline data processes and improve efficiencies. She reached out to an old, trusted colleague to ask for guidance on a consulting firm that could help. As it turned out, that friend worked at a firm that could do exactly that: Credera.

Kidder did their due diligence though. They went through a vetting process of meeting with several different firms to explain where they wanted to go.

Bob Johnson, Kidder’s vice president of technology, joined the firm soon after Credera was chosen as the development partner for the project. Bob had his doubts about Credera.

The Credera Difference, in Credera’s Words

Credera is a global boutique. This means you have access to a global wealth of expertise with the personalized approach you’d expect from a local partner.

From initial vision through execution, we help clients make a measurable impact while forging incredible and authentic relationships.

Here’s what that means to us:

1. Global Scale, Boutique Experience - We offer the experience, expertise, and geographic reach of a global organization, but with the hands-on and focused approach of a boutique firm. This means we craft each solution to the unique and critical needs of each client we serve.

2. Measurable Impact - Actions are stronger than words. Our current clients rated Credera a 9.2 out of 10 on likelihood to recommend us to a friend and 100% of client survey responses rated our outputs as high (30%) or very high (70%) quality. That means we’re delivering real results that make an impact for the long run.

3. Authentic Relationships - Incredible impact and authentic relationships come from doing the real work together. The magic happens when we ask the right questions, don’t assume anything, and understand what unique people and sectors need, want, and what truly matters to them at the end of the day.

4. Vision Through Execution - Working with a consulting firm should be simple, comprehensive, and move at warp speed. With efficient transition, immediate momentum, and quick results, our creative, growth-focused team knows what it takes to go fast and make an impact from idea through execution.
