Commercial Real Estate Experts...

As one of Louisiana’s leading commercial real estate advisors for over 15 years, my team and I have helped hundreds of clients answer questions just like these. As a self-proclaimed data nerd, I provide every client with accurate property valuations and carefully cultivated area data alongside my opinion. Operating with a people-first mindset in a notoriously cutthroat industry has allowed me to build trusted connections with fellow brokers, property owners, civic leaders, and real estate investors.

Investment Sales

I provide a wide range of advisory and consulting services to local, regional and national real estate investors, developers, REITs, pension fund advisors, special servicers and other institutions. I invite you to sit down with me and you will find the services I provide will help you better understand the market, formulate buy-sell decisions, evaluate development and re-development options, shape your long-term portfolio strategies, and optimize your investment returns.

My practice focuses on investment sales, structuring profitable sale-leasebacks, 1031 Exchange acquisitions and dispositions, Delaware Statutory Trusts (DST’s), as well as commercial real estate succession planning. Examples of the types of property sales and acquisitions I perform also include portfolios of owned real estate and non-performing loans, single-tenant net leased assets, professional office buildings, medical facilities, self-storage (mini storage) facilities, hotels, vacant land, and industrial properties.

Single Tenant Net Lease

A single tenant net lease is a type of lease agreement in which an entire commercial property is leased to just one tenant on a triple net basis. Meaning that the tenant is responsible for property taxes, building insurance and most maintenance cost. This lease is most common with drug stores, restaurants, gas stations, and other types of businesses that occupy standalone buildings.

The big advantages of this type of investment are long term tenants (10 – 20-year leases), predictable cash flows, built-in rent escalators, and 100% occupancy. With my extensive knowledge of this market in Louisiana, I can walk investors through the process of buying and selling this type of asset in their investment portfolios.

1031 Exchanges

Are you in the process of selling an investment property and desire to avoid paying taxes on your gain? You may have been encouraged by your CPA or real estate agent to pursue a 1031 exchange as the right tax vehicle to meet your investment needs. A 1031 exchange is a valuable tool that allows investors to defer capital gains exposure while trading up to a higher quality asset.

As with all things, an exchange requires advanced planning and consideration prior to execution. Having the right advisor is crucial to ensure that you, as an investor, are making the best decisions for your bottom line. With my guidance, I will help you identify 1031 exchange properties and determine the best properties that will continue to meet your long-term investment goals.

Financial Institutions

For over a decade I have worked directly with banks, credit unions and special servicers to reduce days on market for “Real Estate Owned” (REO) assets while maximizing the highest return on each asset. I provide guidance to the lending institution and guide these groups to make informed decisions.

In order to achieve these unmatched results for your company’s troubled commercial real estate assets, I provide cost-effective and time-sensitive measures ensuring the lending institution is educated on the value of the property and necessary time required to dispose of the property or note. I work closely with mortgage lenders, servicers, appraisers and other professionals to facilitate the sale of each property.

Simply listing the property on a financial institution's website is not the best way to secure the highest value for the property. Putting the asset or note in front of the entire brokerage and buying community through my platform ensures the maximum sales price will be achieved.

Valuation and Advisory

If you find yourself wondering what your property is worth or if you are paying too much for your current lease, you've come to the right place! Understanding the current market value of your investment is crucial to minimizing risk and maximizing return.

The advisory services and commercial real estate valuation solutions I provide are highly informative. My consulting services will help you assess the market, formulate buy-sell decisions, optimize your returns in holding periods and shape your long-term commercial real estate portfolio strategies.

From a leasehold perspective, you will gain a better understanding of current market conditions and what like-kind properties are achieved for leased real estate.
