Q: What types of commercial properties does Capstone Commercial handle?
Capstone Commercial specializes in four core property types across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex: Industrial (warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, flex), Office (Class A, B, and C; CBD and suburban), Retail (shopping centers, strip centers, pad sites, freestanding), and Land (residential and commercial development sites). Our typical deal size ranges from $1M to $5M, with select transactions in the $15M–$20M range.

Q: How much does it cost to hire a commercial real estate broker?
For tenants and buyers, our brokerage services are typically provided at no direct cost — the landlord or seller pays the commission as part of the transaction. For landlords and property owners, commission rates vary by property type and transaction size but are negotiated upfront and clearly outlined in the listing agreement. Contact us for a confidential discussion about your specific situation.

Q: What areas of Dallas-Fort Worth does Capstone Commercial serve?
We cover the entire DFW Metroplex with particular depth in Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Richardson, Garland, Mesquite, Dallas CBD, Uptown, South Dallas, Great Southwest, Valwood, Las Colinas, Carrollton, Farmers Branch, and the I-35 corridor communities. Our submarket specialist model means each broker has deep expertise in their specific territory.

Q: How long does it take to lease commercial space in DFW?
Lease timelines vary by property type and market conditions. Industrial space in high-demand corridors can lease within 30–60 days. Office and retail spaces typically take 3–6 months depending on location, condition, and pricing. Capstone’s marketing strategy — including CoStar, LoopNet, targeted email campaigns, and broker-to-broker outreach — is designed to minimize vacancy and accelerate lease-up.

Q: What is a Broker Opinion of Value (BOV)?
A Broker Opinion of Value is a professional estimate of a property’s market value prepared by a licensed commercial real estate broker. Unlike a formal appraisal, a BOV leverages the broker’s direct market knowledge, comparable sales data, and income analysis to provide property owners with a realistic assessment of what their property would sell for in the current market. Capstone Commercial provides BOVs as part of our listing process and for owners evaluating disposition timing.

Q: What is a CCIM and why does it matter?
CCIM stands for Certified Commercial Investment Member, one of the most respected designations in commercial real estate. CCIMs complete advanced coursework in financial analysis, market analysis, investment analysis, and negotiation. Only about 6% of commercial real estate practitioners hold the CCIM designation. When you work with a CCIM like Steve Burris, you’re working with a broker who has demonstrated expertise in investment-grade commercial real estate transactions.

Q: Should I lease or buy commercial space for my business?
The lease vs. buy decision depends on several factors including your business’s growth trajectory, capital availability, tax situation, and how long you plan to stay in the space. Leasing offers flexibility and lower upfront costs, while buying builds equity and provides more control over your space. Capstone’s brokers can walk you through the financial analysis for your specific situation and help you make the right call.
