Commercial Real Estate
Trey Group Commercial works with franchisees, business owners, and investors across San Antonio, the Hill Country, and the I-35 corridor. Two related practices: representing tenants who need space, and representing investors buying and selling the buildings that space sits in.

Tenant representation
If you have signed a franchise agreement, you are already on a clock. Your development schedule has dates in it, your franchisor has approval rights over the site, and the lease you sign will outlast most other decisions you make about the business.
Site selection, franchisor approval, lease negotiation, and managing the timeline. And in most retail and commercial leases the landlord pays the commission, so representation typically costs the tenant nothing.
JJ currently represents Cheba Hut in San Antonio, and has represented La Madeleine, Ink Couture, Rounders Card Club, and The Lodge Card Club, among others.

Investment sales and 1031 exchanges
On the ownership side: multifamily, retail, industrial, office, medical office, land, and mixed-use. Representation on both sides, listing and selling investment property, and representing buyers acquiring it.
Most investors treat a 1031 exchange as a tax maneuver they execute after deciding to sell. That is backwards, and it is why so many exchanges end in a rushed replacement property nobody actually wanted.
The rules belong to your qualified intermediary and your CPA. The real estate decision, what the equity should move into and whether it still makes sense once the deadline is gone, is the part a broker should be handling, and it needs to start before you list.

How commercial property gets marketed
Commercial property does not sell the way a house does. A listing sitting on the MLS waiting to be found is reaching the wrong audience. Investment listings are marketed on CoStar and LoopNet, where commercial buyers, brokers, and investors actually search.
