Investment & Commercial

Austin is still
one of the best
markets to own in.

Whether you’re an out-of-state investor acquiring retail property or a business navigating a commercial lease, I bring the same standard to every transaction — direct broker representation, attorney review on every contract, and deep market knowledge.

Investment Acquisitions

Out-of-state investors buying in Austin.

Austin’s fundamentals remain strong — population growth, a diversified economy, and a housing supply that still can’t keep up with demand. For investors acquiring retail residential property, that translates to consistent rental demand and long-term appreciation potential.

I work with out-of-state buyers who need a broker on the ground who knows the market, knows the neighborhoods, and knows which numbers actually pencil. I’ll run the CAP rate analysis, evaluate gross and NNN structures where applicable, and make sure you’re buying at a price that makes sense for your return targets — not just a price someone wanted to sell at.

Every purchase gets attorney review before closing. I cover the cost. For an out-of-state buyer, that protection isn’t optional.

Commercial Leasing

Tenant and landlord representation.

Commercial leases are complex documents with long-term consequences. Most tenants sign them without fully understanding what they’ve agreed to. Most landlords don’t have someone actively marketing their space and negotiating for their interests.

I rep both sides. If you’re a business looking for space, I’ll help you find the right location, negotiate the lease terms, and make sure you understand every clause before you sign. If you’re a landlord, I’ll market your space, qualify tenants, and structure a lease that protects your investment.

I’m fluent in gross leases, NNN, modified gross, and the nuances that determine whether a deal actually works for both parties long-term.

What I work with

CAP Rate

Net operating income divided by purchase price. The baseline metric for evaluating investment property returns.

Gross Lease

Tenant pays a flat rent. Landlord covers operating expenses. Common in office and some retail.

NNN Lease

Tenant pays base rent plus property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Common in retail and industrial.

Modified Gross

Hybrid structure. Expenses split between landlord and tenant based on negotiated terms.
