Storage, industrial, flex, and value-add — analyzed honestly, advised locally. Working with investors and operators who care about getting the numbers right.
I've been licensed in real estate since 2019, focused entirely on commercial investment and acquisitions across Southwest Missouri.
I know this market — the operators, the buildings, the deals that closed for less than the asking, and the ones that should have closed for more. If you're working a deal here, I want to be useful.
Not every deal is the right deal. These are the asset classes where I have the most context, the most relationships, and the most useful opinions.
The market that's quietly carrying SWMO. I track most of the operators in the region and have a strong read on what's actually trading vs. what's listed.
Warehouse, distribution, light manufacturing. Limited supply and unusually patient demand. Underwriting requires real local knowledge — not comps from Kansas City.
The most misunderstood asset class in the region. Mixed-use buildings that wear multiple hats well — and earn returns the spreadsheets don't catch.
Tired buildings, under-priced rents, lazy management. The deals where the upside is in the work — and where I can usually tell within a walk-through whether it pencils.
I'm an organizer of the largest commercially focused investor group in the Springfield area. CREID started with 15 people in a back room. We now regularly pull 50–75 investors, brokers, and operators per meeting.
If you're investing in commercial real estate in this region — or thinking about starting — this is where the conversation is happening.
What you're looking at, what you've already done, where you're stuck. No deck needed. The first call is to figure out if I can be useful.
Straight. Including the parts you might not want to hear. If a deal doesn't pencil, I'll say so.
Acquisition, disposition, or sourcing — once we're aligned, I'll handle the parts that take local relationships and market context.
Even if you're not ready to transact, I'd rather hear about it early.
