BARBERMURPHY Welcomes Vito LaFata IV, Expanding Commercial Real Estate Services Across Missouri
SHILOH, IL. — BARBERMURPHY, a leading commercial real estate brokerage serving Central & Southern Illinois and Greater St. Louis, Missouri, is proud to announce the addition of Vito LaFata IV to its team of experienced brokers.
Vito joins BARBERMURPHY with a statewide focus on industrial and land development properties throughout Missouri — particularly along the I-44 Corridor, one of the state’s fastest-growing transportation and distribution routes connecting St. Louis to Springfield and Joplin. With a background in communications, relationship management, and market research, he brings a comprehensive, client-first approach to every transaction. His ability to connect business strategy with local market insight allows him to assist property owners, developers, and investors in identifying opportunities across both metropolitan and emerging markets.
A graduate of Missouri State University, Vito has built a reputation for professionalism, persistence, and creative deal-making. Before joining BARBERMURPHY, he focused on building strong relationships and developing meaningful connections throughout Missouri’s business communities. By actively engaging with local owners, brokers, and city officials along the I-44 Corridor and surrounding regional hubs, he gained a deep understanding of each market — from key developments and zoning trends to where major businesses are located. This hands-on approach has allowed him to stay informed on regional growth opportunities and position himself as a knowledgeable resource for clients looking to buy, sell, or develop commercial property across the state.
At BARBERMURPHY, Vito works alongside more than 22 seasoned commercial brokers, leveraging the firm’s full-service capabilities in brokerage, valuation, and market analysis. His role involves identifying key development corridors, assisting owner-users in site selection, and guiding investors seeking income-producing assets across the state.
“Vito’s statewide approach reflects the direction of our firm — combining local expertise with a broader reach across Missouri’s growing markets,” said BARBERMURPHY. “His drive, attention to detail, and commitment to building long-term client relationships make him a valuable addition to our team.”
