Since 1997, Bob Cole and his wife established Coleman Group as a boutique commercial brokerage and property management company, with a specialized focus on Central Kentucky. In the years of growth and real estate success, the Coleman Group team realized that being a big fish in a small pond allowed them to make a more significant impact, with a focus on three core asset classes: Office, Industrial, and Retail Properties.
In the process of working closely with small, mid and large business owners, we realized that alternative solutions were needed for affordability, convenience and flexibility for their unique meeting, working and remote solutions. Beginning in the early 2000s, Flexible Workspace and Virtual Offices began growing in popularity nationally. So our team began to explore how to implement this national trend into the local Lexington, KY market. So we solicited the advice and guidance of Karen Condi of Workplace Strategies.

With their consulting and management, Bob Cole of the Coleman Group, LLC was excited and motivated to provide this alternative solution to their wide range of commercial property offerings with the opening of Your SMARTOffice Solutions in 2014.
And who would have known that just six years later, with the 2020 pandemic, the need for virtual and flexible workspaces accelerated with the adoption and acceptability of remote work around the world, as well as here in Central KY. This transitional mindset of alternative office spaces pushed many businesses toward virtual office solutions to cut costs while maintaining professional operations. And Your SMARTOffice Solutions was established, running and ready to meet the needs of our business community during the pandemic and beyond.
