A commercial property owner might have various plans that would necessitate the services of a commercial real estate broker. Some of the common scenarios include:

1. Selling the Property: If the owner decides it’s time to sell the property, a commercial real estate broker can help determine the market value, market the property effectively, and negotiate with potential buyers to get the best possible price.

2. Leasing Space: For property owners looking to lease out part or all of their commercial space, a broker can help find suitable tenants, negotiate lease terms, and ensure the lease agreements meet all legal requirements and serve the owner’s best interests.

3. Acquiring More Properties: Owners looking to expand their portfolio would benefit from a broker's knowledge of the market, access to listings, and negotiation skills to secure additional properties at favorable terms.

4. Property Management: While not all brokers offer this service, some commercial real estate brokers or their affiliates offer property management services. This can be particularly appealing for owners who prefer a hands-off approach or are managing properties from a distance.

5. Market Analysis: Owners considering future developments, renovations, or rebranding of their property might engage a broker for a comprehensive market analysis. This helps in understanding current market trends, the demand for different types of spaces, and potential returns on investment for various strategies.

6. Refinancing: In situations where a property owner is looking to refinance their property, a commercial real estate broker can provide valuable insights into the property’s current market value, assist in gathering necessary documentation, and even help in finding the best financing options.

7. Partnership or Investment Opportunities: Owners interested in exploring partnerships, joint ventures, or seeking investors for expansion or development projects might use a broker to find and vet potential partners or investors.

8. Consulting on Zoning and Use Changes: When contemplating a change in the use of the property or dealing with zoning issues, a broker with experience in local regulations and the specific property type can provide guidance and strategic planning assistance.

9. Exit Strategy Planning: For owners looking to plan an exit strategy from their investment, whether it’s through a strategic sale or a gradual winding down of operations, brokers can provide market insights, timing advice, and valuation services to optimize the exit process.

In any of these scenarios, the expertise and services provided by a commercial real estate broker can save the property owner time and money, while also providing access to a wider network of potential buyers, tenants, and industry professionals. Give us a call today!

🤝 Why Financial Advisors Trust Us with CRE Deals 🚀

📊 How Financial Advisors Benefit by Referring CRE Investors to Our Team 🤝


🤝 Why Financial Advisors Refer CRE Deals to Our Team

In commercial real estate (CRE), collaboration drives success. One of the most powerful partnerships we see is between financial advisors and our commercial real estate team. Financial advisors manage wealth, plan portfolios, and build financial roadmaps. But when clients want to expand into commercial property ownership, refinancing, or 1031 exchanges, that’s where our expertise shines.

So, why do financial advisors consistently refer CRE deals to our team? Let’s break it down:


1. We Strengthen Their Client Relationships

Financial advisors know that real estate is often a missing piece of the wealth-building puzzle. By partnering with us, they can offer clients access to high-performing CRE investments, financing solutions, and strategic advice—without having to become real estate experts themselves. This keeps their clients engaged, satisfied, and more likely to stay loyal long term.


2. We Deliver Specialized CRE Expertise

From industrial warehouses near I-10, to medical office build-outs, to multifamily investment properties, our team understands the nuances of CRE markets. Financial advisors don’t have time to research every submarket or underwriting detail. That’s our role—analyzing cash flows, cap rates, financing structures, and tax strategies—so their clients make informed decisions with confidence.


3. We Create Win-Win Referral Partnerships

When advisors bring us into a deal, they look like heroes. Their clients receive a full-service experience that combines financial planning with real estate acquisition, leasing, and financing. Meanwhile, advisors build credibility as trusted partners who connect clients to the right experts.


4. We Understand 1031 Exchanges and Tax Strategies

High-net-worth clients often turn to advisors for tax-efficient strategies. By referring CRE deals to us, advisors can ensure their clients understand opportunities like 1031 exchanges, cost segregation, and depreciation benefits—tools that enhance wealth preservation.


5. We Share the Same Core Values

Advisors who partner with us value integrity, transparency, and long-term relationships. We’re not here for a one-time transaction. We’re here to serve as trusted allies who help their clients grow wealth, reduce risk, and maximize opportunities in CRE.


Bottom Line

Financial advisors refer commercial real estate deals to our team because it helps them protect relationships, expand client services, and deliver better outcomes. Together, we create a win-win scenario where clients benefit from holistic wealth strategies that include smart CRE investments.

If you’re a financial advisor or CPA looking to add value to your clients, let’s connect. Together, we can build stronger portfolios and deeper relationships.

I am a Houston commercial broker, with residential experience, as well as a lending background. I have been in the real estate industry for 14 years and counting, and I have worked in many roles within the industry and each has given me a unique perspective of the industry as a whole. My dedication to clients is rooted in this industry knowledge, but also includes my desire to go the extra mile in networking to source off market opportunities for my clients. Me and my team at eXp Commercial have a cutting-edge technology package that gets the widest exposure for each transaction. eXp Commercial offers a nationwide network through which we can deliver the best exposure and professional advice to achieve our clients’ goals while also minimizing their risk. Clients appreciate my methodical method of discovery in our initial consultation. Through which we can get to know each other and their specific’s business’s needs and objectives on a granular level. Our processes help navigate each transaction and its potential pitfalls through to a successful outcome for our clients. It is my stated goal to provide our clients with extensive market analysis and expertise that fosters innovative solutions and rewarding commercial real estate opportunities.
