A Quick Guide to Commercial Land & Site Development

Chase McAteer at Oxford Partners: I met Chase McAteer when I was looking for a leasing space for my therapy center in 2020 in Houston Texas, just at the start... read more of the Pandemic. After our initial meeting I knew that he was the person who was going to get me what I needed because of his knowledge, helpfulness and understanding of exactly what I needed. Chase sent me a list of more than a dozen listings and we worked together on a shortlist with very specific details of what I liked, needed, and required for my center. Due to unforeseen personal circumstances and the pandemic, I was unable to open the center in my area and was forced to look at areas outside my residential area and with no understanding or knowledge of the market and locations. I almost gave up, but with Chase this was not an option! He went above and beyond taking time away from his family to take a trip to San Antonio, New Braunfels, and San Marcos where we spent 2 days touring between 8 to 10 listings all in great locations. Chase arranged the tours, got the floor plans arranged all the negotiations to get the best deal that worked with my budget and very specific needs. I cannot recommend him enough. He understood my needs, the needs of the landlord, the importance of deadlines and his negotiations skills to get me the best deal was phenomenal! If you are looking for someone who has THE GREATEST WORK ETHIC, makes you feel like you the ONLY client he is working with even though he has many other clients he is taking care of simultaneously than Chase is your agent. He is exceptional in what he does, is a pleasure to work with, extremely respectful of your time and his attention to details makes the process seamless. He checked and double checked everything for me and to say he is patient and kind is an understatement! His marketing and networking connections are not only in his area or neighborhood or state but extends to many other states as well. Again, I want to commend Chase on his experience, availability, attention to detail, and proactiveness since these are all the qualities you need as a client who wants the best deal during these challenging times. Thank you, Chase! Wishing you many more years of success. Premala Naidoo

COMPLETELY SATISIFIED!!! 😊 I didn't know where or how to start with the sell of my building until I met DJ Hale with the Oxford Partners. He took... read more the stress out of selling my commercial building which we have owned for over 40 years. His knowledge of the market in my area, years of experience and exceptional customer service are assets to The Oxford Partners and to me as a customer. DJ and the Oxford Partners have been there for me every step of the way. I referred a good friend to them and she is equally pleased with their service. I highly recommend Oxford Partners for your Commercial Broker needs!

Oxford Partners listened and supported our needs throughout the negotiation process. Thank you OP.

They've helped me with two leases now and they've gotten us very good rates compared with the broader market. I'll use them again

I can't say enough good things about Chase and his firm. From day 1, Chase has been attentive, professional, and an advocate for us (as a tenant looking for... read more office space). I have worked with other brokers in the past and our experience was just the opposite. Chase has gone above and beyond in overseeing all aspects of our leasing experience and in making sure our interests are best represented. Thanks Chase!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Perry Mazzone as my real estate agent, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Perry was absolutely fantastic! He worked tirelessly... read more to help me find the perfect property and went above and beyond to make sure I got a great deal. What impressed me the most was Perry's experience and expertise in the real estate market. He was able to help me see blind spots that I wouldn't have caught on my own, which ultimately saved me a lot of money. Throughout the process, Perry was always available to answer my questions and provide valuable insights. He is a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients. I highly recommend Perry to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate agent. Thank you, Perry, for all your hard work and for making my experience such a positive one!

I recently had the privilege of working with D.J. Hale on a couple of projects. I have to congratulate you folks on having such a wonderful person in your employ.... read more Over the years I have dealt with a lot of agents, but never have been lucky enough to have one who represented me in such a complete and professional manner. Don't misunderstand, many were good, but this gentleman was superior!! There were no stones left unturned prior to the sales and no surprises afterwards. EVERYTHING went as discussed with no hiccups. Amazing,and I will certainly be recommending him to any of the business folks I encounter either selling, buying or leasing. HE is certainly the epitome of a great agent.I know he will continue to be very successful. KEN KLEINMANN.

I would recommend Oxford Partners, and specifically D.J. Hale, to anyone looking for a commercial broker. Several months ago, our church—a relatively new mission church in Houston, located in the... read more Heights—began our search for a property to purchase to establish a more permanent and long-term home for our congregation and its mission. Oxford Partners greatly exceeded all our expectations as our buyers’ broker on a commercial real estate purchase. Stephen Hazen, Sales Director at Oxford Partners, quickly and efficiently took all the information needed to pair us with the ideal broker in the firm for our needs, Douglas Hale (“D.J.”). Without delay, Steve and D.J. sat down with me and discussed our church’s needs, the state of the commercial market, and a presentation on currently available properties within our target search area and budget. Their entire approach was warm, friendly, efficient, and no-pressure. Through the next several months, D.J. Hale found us several promising properties both publicly listed and otherwise. He showed us multiple properties, answered all our questions, and did a great job of using his experience as a broker and his experience from his prior career as an appraiser to assist us in making wise decisions. When the first round of searches and property viewings did not result in a perfect match for us, D.J. Hale went above and beyond expectations in searching for additional properties that might work, ultimately finding for us a perfect property in the perfect location at a price that we could afford—overall a very difficult assignment given the narrow and specific criteria we provided. While the property was under contract, he communicated consistently and quickly with all parties, kept his eye on all deadlines and feasibility period issues, and ultimately guided us through closing on the property without any drama or hiccups. Going into the search for a broker and ultimately a commercial real estate purchase, we knew that our needs, processes, financing, and timetables as a church and a nonprofit organization were going to make any transaction more challenging for the brokers and sellers than they would otherwise be with a traditional commercial or residential property transaction. Nevertheless, Oxford Partners and D.J. Hale knew exactly what we needed, worked with us with patience every step of the way, secured concessions from the sellers that we needed to close the deal, never once engaged in any high-pressure sales tactics, and always did his utmost to put our interests ahead of that of Oxford Partners and his own. Five Stars for D.J. Hale and Five Stars for Oxford Partners.
