CRE Vets Paulsen, Rader Launch Topside

Veteran commercial real estate leaders Eric Paulsen and Rob Rader have joined forces to launch Topside Real Estate. The Newport Beach-based firm is located at 140 Newport Center Dr.

Paulsen says “Topside Real Estate will be a client and employee focused service provider reinvesting the majority of its revenue back into its people and resources. We want to help our clients maximize the value and efficiency of their real estate holdings, and we want our associates to maximize their earnings and growth potential.”

Paulsen has bought, sold, brokered, auctioned, and/or asset managed more than $10 billion in real estate assets nationally. He most recently served as Managing Principal at Cushman & Wakefield in Irvine, having previously held leadership positions at Ten-X/Auction.com Commercial, LNR Property Corp. and CBRE.

Rader spent the past six years at Irvine-based WindWater Real Estate as an SVP. He previously served more than a decade at Lee & Associates, and started his CRE career at NKF in 2002.
