Colliers is proud to welcome Clayton Jones to its San Mateo office, where he joins the growing office agency practice focused on leasing office, R&D, and life science assets. With nearly a decade of experience advising both high-growth companies and leading institutional landlords across Silicon Valley, Clayton brings a proven track record of strategic, client-first execution.

“Clay is not just a respected broker—he is a trusted partner and true market leader,” said Bryan Courson, Executive Managing Director of Colliers San Mateo and San Jose. “His character, collaborative nature, and deep expertise make him an ideal fit for our team. We’re excited to continue building with him.” 

Christian Prelle, Executive Vice President and Head of Office Agency for the San Francisco Bay Area, added, “I’ve worked closely with Clay for years and have always valued his partnership, work ethic, thoughtful approach, and command of the market. Having him officially on board strengthens our offering for both tenants and landlords and positions us for continued success.” 

Clayton’s consultative style and strategic mindset have helped clients align real estate solutions with broader business goals. His ability to see the big picture while managing detail is part of what sets him apart.

“I have a tremendous amount of respect and gratitude for my longtime colleagues in the Palo Alto office at Newmark, but after a great deal of thought, joining Colliers makes the most sense for my family and me,” said Clayton Jones. “The opportunity to be a part of an inspiring culture and to partner with Bryan, Christian, and the broader team in a collaborative, high-performance environment is exciting. I’m looking forward to what we can build and accomplish together.”
