What is a Commercial Real Estate Broker?
A commercial real estate agent/broker is a professional who represents clients in the purchase, sale, or lease of commercial properties. In smaller transactions, a single agent/broker may handle everything, while larger transactions often involve a team of agents/brokers dedicated to advocating for their client’s best interests.
Becoming a Commercial Real Estate Agent/Broker
The requirements to become a commercial real estate agent/broker vary by state but generally include educational prerequisites, substantial study hours, and passing a certification exam. Once certified, agents/brokers typically join an established brokerage or start their own firm.

The Role of an Agent/Broker
Acquisitions
In acquisitions, brokers help investors find and purchase commercial properties. The process begins with a detailed discussion between the agent/broker and the investor about the desired property characteristics. Using their local market knowledge, agents/brokers identify suitable properties, both on-market and off-market. They then assist in negotiating contracts and managing the due diligence and closing processes.
Dispositions
When property owners decide to sell, they hire agents/brokers to represent them. After selecting an agent/broker, the agent creates an Offering Memo and markets the property to potential buyers. They negotiate the sales contract and coordinate with the buyer’s broker to ensure a smooth closing process.
Commercial Leasing
Agent/Brokers also handle leasing transactions, representing either landlords or tenants. Landlords, find tenants for vacant spaces and negotiate lease terms. For tenants, brokers locate spaces that meet specific requirements and negotiate favorable lease terms.
Financial Analysis
Agent/Brokers conduct extensive financial analyses for various transactions. They create Offering Memos, including operating proformas that project income and expenses, critical for purchase decisions. This involves analyzing market conditions, rent rolls, and operating statements, requiring brokers to be skilled in commercial real estate valuation.
Demographic and Market Analysis
Part of the Offering Memo includes a detailed demographic and regional analysis, covering market population, growth rates, major industries, and more. This information aids investment decision-making and is a vital service provided by brokers, tailored to the specifics of each transaction.

For Investors
When evaluating Real Estate investment opportunities, it’s essential to focus on favorable economic and demographic trends, along with supply and demand dynamics. We strategically acquire assets across all real estate verticals, providing tangible, income-producing properties with attractive risk-adjusted returns. Whether aiming for high cash yields or assets with land value and downside protection, our investment options consistently offer favorable returns for our investors.
Money Supply Growth
The M2 money supply in the US has significantly increased, leading to higher capital volumes held by pension funds, endowments, insurance companies, private equity and venture funds, family offices, and more, all competing for a limited set of attractive investment opportunities. With lower borrowing costs, we have observed return compression across traditional asset classes, including private equity, venture capital, real estate, stocks, bonds, and private debt over the past several decades.
The US remains safe
Globally, investors continue to favor US-domiciled assets due to corporate governance, legal frameworks, and other controls that enhance business integrity and asset safety. The US remains a haven for foreign capital, with investors increasingly seeking tangible assets that provide current income and downside protection.
Wage Disparity and Cost of Living
As the wage gap and income disparity in the US widen and the population grows, the lower middle class is compelled to seek more affordable housing options, increasing the demand for value-added properties. The rising cost of living, particularly in select coastal cities and states, drives residents to states with no or low state income tax, business-friendly environments, and lower living costs.
Homeownership Trends
Homeownership levels are near 20-year lows at approximately 63%, while rental demand continues to grow. Stringent borrowing requirements imposed by traditional lenders make it increasingly difficult for the lower middle class to purchase homes. Millennials are increasingly forgoing homeownership in favor of moving to larger cities such as Houston, Dallas, and Austin, further fueling demand for multifamily properties. Homebuilders continue to struggle and pull back development during economic uncertainty, supporting the multifamily market.
