Tenant representation
Most of JJ's work is representing tenants: franchisees opening a first location, multi-unit operators expanding across the market, and independent businesses signing a commercial lease. Site selection, franchisor approval, lease negotiation, and keeping the timeline honest against a development schedule.
He currently represents Cheba Hut in San Antonio, and has represented La Madeleine, Ink Couture, Rounders Card Club, and The Lodge Card Club, among others.
In most retail and commercial leases the landlord pays the commission, which means tenant representation typically costs the tenant nothing. If you go in unrepresented, that money does not come back to you.

Investment sales and 1031 exchanges
JJ also works with investors buying and selling commercial and investment property: multifamily, retail, industrial, office, medical office, land, and mixed-use.
A significant part of that practice is 1031 exchanges, and specifically the part most investors get wrong, which is the replacement property. The rules belong to your qualified intermediary and your CPA. For that work in San Antonio, JJ refers clients to Carl Pikus, VP and Account Executive with IPX1031.
"A 1031 exchange isn't a tax strategy you execute after you sell. It's an investment strategy you have to plan before you sell."

How commercial property gets marketed
Commercial property does not sell the way a house does, and a listing that sits on the MLS waiting to be found is reaching the wrong audience.
JJ budgets for and lists investment property on CoStar and LoopNet, the platforms commercial buyers, brokers, and investors actually search. These are expensive subscriptions that many agents either do not carry or will not invest in, and the difference shows up in who sees the property.
"He didn't just put the property on the MLS and wait for someone to find it. He invested in getting it in front of the right audience."
