Texas Commercial Real Estate · Owner Services

Built for Texas commercial property owners with portfolios.

Hold/sell analysis, repositioning, 1031 identification, leasing and property management — from a team that manages its own centers.

For Multi-Property Owners

Most Texas commercial owners outgrow generic property management.

When you owned one property, a basic management firm was enough. As your holdings grow, you start needing strategy, not just operations. Which assets are dragging your portfolio? When should you sell vs reposition? Where can you push rents? Are your tenants the right ones? When does a 1031 make sense?

These are not questions a property manager answers. They are questions a principal-level commercial real estate firm answers — and that's what CRECO is built to be.

We manage our own centers — Fair Oaks Plaza and our Lytle center — and take on a select number of owners who want the same hands-on attention. We walk your properties with you and tell you: keep, reposition, or sell — with hard numbers (submarket comps, tenant credit analysis, mark-to-market upside) — and our team executes the plan.

What you get with CRECO

  • Personal relationship — every engagement is handled directly by the CRECO team
  • Quarterly portfolio strategy reviews with actionable recommendations
  • Focused on San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country, where we own and operate property ourselves
  • Institutional reporting (monthly financials, leasing pipeline, capex tracking)
  • Off-market deal flow for acquisitions and 1031 up-legs
  • Direct broker access — no junior-associate handoffs

People Also Ask

Owner Services FAQ

How is CRECO different from a national property management firm?+
National firms typically excel at managing large institutional assets. CRECO is a small, principal-led team built for private owners — entrepreneurs, families, and investors. You get direct attention on strategy from people who know every asset, instead of being one of thousands of buildings on a national platform.
What size portfolio does CRECO work with?+
We manage our own centers — Fair Oaks Plaza and our Lytle center — and take on a select number of owners who want the same hands-on attention. Some owners engage us for full management; others for leasing and advisory only.
What does CRECO charge for owner services?+
Property management fees typically run 3-5% of effective gross income, depending on portfolio size and asset mix — multi-property engagements are tiered down. Leasing commissions follow market convention (typically 4-6% of total lease value, paid 50% on lease execution / 50% on tenant occupancy). Strategic advisory and acquisition / disposition is engagement-fee or success-fee based, structured per assignment.
Do you handle properties outside San Antonio?+
Our focus is San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country, where we own and operate property ourselves. If you have a property elsewhere in Texas, ask — we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Can I keep my existing property manager and just engage CRECO for strategy?+
Yes. You can engage CRECO for strategic advisory only — portfolio reviews, hold/sell calls on individual assets, tenant repositioning recommendations, disposition timing — while keeping their current PM in place for day-to-day operations. We work in whatever role the engagement requires.
How quickly can you take over property management for an existing portfolio?+
Onboarding a new owner with established properties typically takes 30-60 days. We tour every asset, audit existing leases and rent rolls, transition vendor contracts, set up financial reporting in our system, and meet every tenant. The first 90 days post-onboarding includes a full portfolio review and a strategy memo recommending immediate wins.
