Commercial Real Estate

REATA Commercial Realty is a boutique corporate real estate advisory firm that has been in business since 2004. After working for landlords for 20 years, we “switched sides” to work exclusively for the users of office and warehouse properties. Today, we offer a unique and powerful package of knowledge and expertise to represent companies and non-profits that lease or buy commercial properties. At REATA, we manage the entire process of searching for space that meets our clients’ needs. We evaluate alternatives and negotiate the deal with the landlord or seller. We help coordinate the attorneys, architects, general contractors, title companies, inspectors, and others required to make our clients’ transaction happen smoothly and with minimal time and effort on their part. Today, we exclusively represent tenants.

Jan Gibbons, President

Jan grew up in the insurance business as part of an independent agency started by her father in the late 1950s. She has been focused on insurance services for more years than she is willing to count.

Jan has worked for several independent insurance agencies in Plano and most recently for the international insurance brokerage firm Willis. Her specialty was commercial lines where she coordinated and managed comprehensive insurance services for large companies in the construction, real estate, public entity, and energy industries.

Jan has been an occasional part of REATA since its founding in 2004. In 2015, she left the insurance industry to solely focus on REATA. Jan is a licensed real estate sales agent. She graduated with a BS in Office Administration from Southwestern Adventist College.
