VoyageDallas.com: Meet Taylor LeMaster of Inroads Realty

By | Company News

Today we’d like to introduce you to Taylor LeMaster.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
My start was 15 years ago, fresh out of college. I began in the business working for Mike Cagle and with Bill Archer, both who I’m partners with at Inroads Realty today. We have been together at several different firms, either through a merger or acquisition. We’ve learned a lot about what to do and not to do when running a successful real estate company. Our history together has fostered a common vision and culture for what Inroads Realty is and will become.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It’s never a completely smooth process. There are different challenges that arise on a daily and weekly basis just from being a new company. However, Inroads has been around for a little over 18 months and hopefully most of the kinks have been ironed out. One thing that was never a challenge was convincing our clients to stay with us throughout this new endeavor. We were fortunate that our years of consistent service to our clients transcended whatever company we were with and they stuck with us.

Inroads Realty – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Inroads Realty is a commercial real estate firm specializing in the brokerage of retail property assets. We lease, manage and provide investments sales services for developers and owners of shopping centers throughout Texas and some neighboring states. We are particularly well versed in what I call “neighborhood retail”. I firmly believe the neighborhood shopping center, which we visit every day near our homes, are the future and strength behind the retail property segment. We have a keen understanding of the intricacies of leasing, managing, buying and selling these types of properties.

I really believe our company culture sets us apart from others. We are a family and team oriented firm. That’s how we approach our business. We surely have eyes on growth but we want to make sure we do it in the right way with the right people.

What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?
January 2, 2016 when Inroads Realty officially opened.

Inroads Realty’s Thad Beckner Sells Third Big-Box Grocery Store

By | Company News, DFW Market, Retail

DALLAS, April 24, 2017 – Thad Beckner, vice president at Inroads Realty, has just brokered the sale of a 39,797-square-foot former Brookshire’s Grocery Store in Henderson, Texas. This sale represents the third major deal completed by Beckner in tertiary markets on behalf of Brandywine Financial involving a big-box retail space. Beckner has represented Brandywine for five years.

Mike Cagle, founding partner of Inroads Realty, affirmed that Beckner’s track record with Brandywine is consistent with the Inroads Realty mission.

“Often in our industry, you see brokers who are focused only on an individual deal, while losing sight of the big picture,” Cagle said. “Beckner is an exceptional broker, and this is a perfect example of the Inroads Realty mentality, where we strive to nurture long-term relationships with our clients.”

Beckner’s penchant for such client relationships has been a hallmark of his career as a real estate broker. In addition to Brandywine, Beckner has long represented the ownership group of a large portfolio of Wal-Mart shadow-anchored centers.

John Mathes, one of the portfolio owners, elaborated on Beckner’s abilities. “We have been working with Thad for many years,” Mathes said. “He oversees a 22-property portfolio for us, spread out over 12 states. His work ethic, professionalism, deal sourcing, follow-up and organization are second to none, and we are lucky to be able work with him.”

Ultimately, Beckner credits his success with hard work. “In this business, clients don’t stick around unless you are able to produce great results,” he said. “Behind the scenes, we spend a lot of time making sure we understand the market and are able to secure the best tenant opportunities for our property owners. We go after tenants that we believe will produce the best long-term viability for each particular project.”

Beckner’s notable projects include several single-tenant opportunities in affluent areas of North Texas as well as many large shopping centers in high-growth sections of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including Frisco, McKinney and Southlake. He currently manages leasing for about 40 retail properties, many of which are in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

According to Beckner, North Texas represents a great opportunity for retail businesses looking for growth opportunities. “It’s such an exciting time to be living and working in North Texas,” he said. “The area offers such a great quality of life for a relatively low cost of living, and the region is so business-friendly. There’s no place I’d rather be.”

Pavillion East Shopping Center Receives Award

By | Company News, DFW Market, Retail

The property owners of Pavillion East Shopping Center were recently recognized by the Richardson City Council at the 2016 Community Revitalization Awards for a redevelopment project which now includes a Pei-Wei and Starbucks.

Leasing for the project was completed by Mike Cagle, Managing Partner at Inroads Realty.  The project included creative lighting design by Flying X Capital.

The property, which stands at 1401 W. Campbell Road, was once the site of Nikki’s Restaurant, but the owners saw an opportunity for redevelopment when the owner of the neighborhood family diner retired and closed his long standing restaurant.

Cagle credits the success of the redevelopment with the draw of the centers three anchors (Sprouts, Home Goods and Richardson Bike Mart) and the quality of the two new tenants.

“When successfully redeveloping a retail property it is critical to have a vision and marketing strategy to attract the right co-tenancy, said Cagle. “The signing of Pei-Wei and Starbucks will add long-term value to this shopping center.”

Real Estate Professionals Seek To Shake Up DFW Market

By | DFW Market

Dallas, Texas – (April 13, 2016) –  Inroads Realty, a Dallas-based retail real estate company formed by three local industry veterans, has launched with an announcement that it already is representing more than 50 retail clients in North Texas. Formed by Mike Cagle, Bill Archer and Taylor LeMaster, Inroads Realty attributes its strong start to “years of consistent service and creating long-term value for our clients.”

Inroads Realty describes its formation as a reaction to the changing culture in the Dallas-Fort Worth commercial real estate industry, where large international brokerage firms have bolstered market share through consolidation. “This consolidation provided the perfect opportunity to create a new culture where brokers are not restricted by a corporate culture,” Cagle said, “but are allowed to collaborate in leasing, sales and development in a true entrepreneurial spirit.”

“Retail is very market-specific and driven by a variety of factors that are constantly changing,” said Archer.  “Inroads Realty plans to capitalize on this changing environment by creating a platform that allows brokers the flexibility to provide the same consistent service their clients have come to expect.”

With the formation of Inroads Realty, the company’s founders are striving to create a team of retail real estate experts and a culture of their own.  The three founders have worked together for more than 13 years and have always shared a common vision about how retail real estate brokerage should function. “Retail brokers must be an authority on their market,” said LeMaster. “There has been a huge influx of population growth in North Texas, and the economy of the region is evolving.  Developers, property owners and retailers who recognize these opportunities need a real estate partner who truly understands the intricacies of this market.”

Inroads Realty client Ashley Fitzgerald of The Carlyle Group spoke highly of the Inroads team’s ability to perform. “Inroads has demonstrated consistent results even in tough leasing environments,” she said. “They have an impressive ability to generate prospects organically.”
