Friday = full schedule, no excuses.

Started the day with a doctor’s appointment and a broker’s open, and now heading into a residential showing in Midland 🏡 followed by a retail showing in West Odessa 🏢.

From homes to commercial spaces, staying in motion and making things happen for my clients. Every stop today is about helping someone take their next step.

Let’s finish the week strong.

Ever thought about owning a franchise?

Something I’ve been noticing lately —
a lot of well-known brands aren’t just expanding…

They’re actively looking for local franchise owners.

That means real opportunity for people right here in West Texas to step into proven business models — not start from scratch.

From food concepts to retail and service-based businesses, many of these brands are ready to grow… they just need the right operator in the right market.

And markets like Midland–Odessa are on their radar.

As a commercial real estate agent, this is where I come in:
• Helping you find the right location
• Making sure the site actually supports your success
• Guiding you from idea → open doors

If you’ve ever thought about business ownership, this might be your sign to explore franchising.

Curious what brands are expanding into West Texas? Let’s talk.

There’s something about a local bookstore that feels different.

As someone who genuinely loves to read (any genre, honestly). I’ve always appreciated the bookstores we have in Midland, TX, especially the locally owned ones. They’re more than just places to buy books. They bring people together. From book clubs to game nights and events, they create a space that feels welcoming and connected.

And it got me thinking…

Why don’t we have more of that here in Odessa, TX?

Odessa is growing, and there’s real opportunity for concepts that build community—not just businesses, but experiences that bring people together.

As a local commercial real estate agent, I’m passionate about supporting small businesses and helping bring the right ideas to the right locations. A bookstore like this could thrive here with the right visibility, accessibility, and surrounding tenants.

Let’s bring something like this to life right here in Odessa and continue building stronger communities across the Permian Basin.

If you’ve ever thought about opening a bookstore—or expanding into Odessa—I’d love to help you find the perfect spot.

Homes in Odessa are still moving fast — if they're priced right.

In the past week, correctly priced homes in the $240K–$320K range sold in 2 to 5 days, with several closing above asking price. At the same time, overpriced listings sat 90+ days and ultimately sold for 10–15% below list.

The market is active. Pricing strategy is what separates a quick sale from a long wait.

Thinking about selling? Let’s talk about where your home fits in today’s market.

CRE Tip

One of the biggest mistakes businesses make when leasing retail space is focusing only on the rent.

While rent is important, several other factors can have a major impact on a business’s long-term success:

• Traffic counts
• Visibility from major roads
• Tenant mix and neighboring businesses
• Trade area demographics

The right location can significantly influence customer flow, brand exposure, and overall sales.

When evaluating retail space, it’s important to look at the full picture, not just the monthly lease rate.

If you're planning to open, relocate, or expand your business in Midland–Odessa, I’d be happy to help you evaluate potential locations and find the right fit.

SITE SPOTLIGHT

Retail success in MIDLAND–ODESSA often comes down to three things: traffic, visibility, and access.

Strong retail sites typically include:

Businesses expanding into West Texas are prioritizing locations along major corridors like Loop 250, Faudree, and Highway 191.

If you're exploring retail opportunities in the area, I’d be happy to help analyze potential sites.

I-14 + I-27 are joining I-20 — and Midland becomes the hub of 3 interstates. Gulf ports, Mexico trade routes, national freight corridors — all running through the Permian Basin.

Construction is 5–10 years out. That's the window to buy, lease, or invest before demand catches up.

Big news for Odessa — a $140 million multi-sport complex with completion expected by 2028 could be the largest youth sports venue in all of Texas.

What does that mean for retail? Tournaments, events, and families traveling in from across the region — that's consistent foot traffic and real consumer spending. This is exactly the kind of anchor development that reshapes a retail corridor.

If you're looking at retail space or investment opportunities in the Permian Basin, I'd love to connect.
