Commercial real estate covers property used for business rather than as a residence. In Texas, the common categories are:

A few concepts that come up often:

This is general information, not legal, tax, or investment advice — commercial deals are specific and often complex. Our role is to represent your side clearly, explain the terms, and keep the process organized.

  • Office — from small suites to multi-tenant buildings.
  • Retail — storefronts, strip centers, and larger shopping centers.
  • Industrial — warehouses, distribution, and flex space.
  • Multifamily — apartment properties, often treated as investment real estate.
  • Land — sites held for development or future use.
  • Representation. A tenant rep works on behalf of a business looking for space; a landlord rep works on behalf of the owner to lease it. Knowing which side you're on shapes the whole engagement.
  • Lease structures. Commercial leases vary widely in how expenses are split between landlord and tenant, the length of term, renewal options, and improvement allowances. The structure matters as much as the headline rate.
  • For owners. Whether you're leasing space, holding for income, or considering a sale, the questions usually center on the property's use, condition, income, and the local demand for that property type.
