About Us
Commonwealth Commercial Appraisal Group was founded in 2020 by Michael J. Rohm, during a time when the world, the market, and the commercial real estate industry were being tested.
What began as a focused commercial appraisal practice has grown into a regional valuation and advisory firm serving clients across Pennsylvania and the surrounding Mid-Atlantic markets. In 2023, Brendan Wewer joined the firm, helping expand CCAG’s reach while preserving the hands-on, client-first approach that has shaped the company from the beginning.
Our story is about working intentionally to build something worth being proud of.
We never wanted to become a small shop limited by its own ceiling, and we never wanted to become a corporate platform where clients, properties, and relationships are treated like file numbers. We believed there was a better path: a firm with the technical depth and credentials of an institutional platform, the responsiveness of a local advisor, and the curiosity to keep improving.
Our backgrounds and beliefs have shaped everything we do. We come from working-class families. We did not inherit a real estate network or step into a ready-made business. CCAG was built one relationship at a time through cold calls, lunches, networking events, panel applications, content creation, difficult assignments, seminars, articles, and a lot of early mornings and late nights producing credible appraisal reports.
Today, our team combines MAI, CCIM, R/W-AC, and SRA expertise with deep economic and commercial real estate research. At CCAG, designations matter, but they are not the finish line. Research matters. Judgment matters. Communication matters. Curiosity matters. So does investing in people, systems, and technology while preserving the human element that complex valuation work requires.
We are proud of the firm we are building: a team, a platform, a training ground, and a long-term resource for the real estate communities we serve. Our goal is not simply to complete appraisal reports. Our goal is to help clients make better decisions with clear, credible, and well-supported valuation guidance.
We love this work, we take it seriously, and we are committed to continuing to raise the standard for commercial real estate valuation and advisory services.
All the Best,
Brendan and Mike
