Bob has been a property manager, leasing agent, construction
manager and asset manager. He was the person who actually signed
the leases on behalf of the owners of dozens of buildings around the
country. He leased over 6 million square feet of property with a value of
over $500 million. He approved budgets, supervised leasing agents
and property managers and helped to buy and sell buildings.
That experience is now used exclusively for the benefit of companies
which lease office and warehouse space.
Since starting his career in early 1984, Bob has been involved in all
aspects of the commercial real estate business and held positions such
as property manager, leasing agent, broker, construction manager,
development project manager and asset manager.
Bob started his commercial real estate career while still a student at the
University of Texas at Arlington (BBA Finance, 1985). He worked for a
subsidiary of a Belgian investment company in Dallas marketing large
land tracts for sale, leasing and managing industrial buildings,
participating on a brokerage team to assemble property for a large
urban revitalization development in South Dallas, developing a
residential subdivision, and negotiating zoning changes and land sales.
That was the mid-1980’s. When the Belgian company went into
bankruptcy in 1988, he landed at Prentiss Properties - a national real
estate investment trust focused on office and industrial properties.
During his 7.5 years there, he went from an assistant property manager
to a regional manager handling properties from Austin to Milwaukee.
His clients included The Travelers Insurance Company, CIGNA,
Teachers Retirement System of Texas, Invesco Realty Advisors,
Acacia Realty Advisors, First Chicago, Koll Investment Management,
Patriot American and IBM.
While with Prentiss he earned his MBA from the University of Dallas
and his Certified Property Manager (CPM) designation from the
Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM).
In 1995, he joined CMD Realty Investors – a privately-held investment
advisor and fund sponsor based in Chicago. He was the Vice
President of Leasing & Asset Management covering properties
throughout Texas as well as Arizona and Virginia. He negotiated over
5 million square feet (SF) of leases of over $400 million in value with
deals ranging in size from 500 SF to180,000 SF.
While with CMD he earned his Certified Commercial Investment
Member (CCIM) designation from the CCIM Institute.
CMD went through a major restructuring and started selling many of its
buildings in early 2004 which resulted in his lay off. It was then that he
founded Reata Commercial Realty, Inc.
Bob is a licensed Texas real estate broker and is a current member of
the North Texas Commercial Association of Realtors (NTCAR), and the
Texas and National Associations of Realtors (TAR & NAR). He has
formerly been a member of the Building Owners & Managers
Association (BOMA) and the National Association of Industrial and
Office Properties (NAIOP).
