Commercial Real Estate in Central Arkansas, Bought and Sold by an Operator

Most commercial brokers have never owned the kind of building they are selling you. We own income property, manage 150+ doors, and build through our own licensed general contractor. When you ask what a building will actually net, you get an answer with math behind it.

The deals we work

We are not chasing tower leases or institutional portfolios. Colliers, Moses Tucker and Kelley have those covered and they are good at it. We work the deals those firms will not staff, which is where most Central Arkansas owners actually transact:

• Small multifamily and small apartment. The 2 to 20 unit range where operating reality, not a broker’s pro forma, decides whether the deal works.
• Small retail strips and neighborhood centers. Tenant mix, rollover risk, and what the vacant suite will really cost to fit out.
• Small bay flex, warehouse and light industrial. Clear height, bay spacing and power against what flex tenants in this market will actually pay.
• Owner user buildings. Businesses buying their own space, where the decision is part real estate and part balance sheet.
• Land and development sites with identified tenant demand.

What we bring that a pure broker does not

We underwrite the way we underwrite our own money. Market rent rather than an optimistic rent roll. Real capex reserves. Accurate tax projections. Vacancy based on the submarket, not a round number. Then we stress it. If the deal does not survive the stress test, we say so before you are under contract, not after.

We price the work before you buy it. Apex Professional Construction is our licensed Arkansas general contractor. Before you close on a building that needs a roof, a parking lot, a suite turned over or a full tenant buildout, we can tell you what that costs at contractor pricing. Most buyers find out after closing, from a bid, and it is usually worse than they assumed.

We know what operating it looks like, because we do it every day. Chase Calhoun Real Estate manages 150+ units across Central Arkansas, roughly half of them properties we own ourselves. Maintenance reality, tenant reality, turnover reality: these are the line items that decide a deal, and they are the ones a transaction-only broker guesses at.

And we can run it after closing, if you want that. Buy it, we renovate it, we lease it, we manage it. One operator, one accountability chain. That is the offer a brokerage alone cannot make.

Straight about where we are

We are a small, operator-led firm and we will tell you when a deal belongs with someone else. If you are selling a trophy office tower or need an institutional capital markets team, we will point you to the firm that should have it. What we do well is income property at a scale where the owner still cares about every line item, and where having a builder and a property manager on your side of the table changes the outcome.

Selling a commercial property

Pricing anchored to real comparable sales and real operating numbers. A clear read on which repairs or lease-up work actually raise your sale price and which ones just spend your money. Direct outreach to our investor network alongside standard marketing. And honest guidance on whether to sell now, fix and sell, or refinance and hold, because those are genuinely different answers and the right one is not always the one that pays us a commission.

Track record

Chase Calhoun is a licensed Arkansas Principal Broker, license PB00084746. Across residential and investment transactions our team has closed $27M+ in MLS sales over 130+ transactions as both listing and selling agent, plus off-market and personal deals on top of that.

On the commercial side, Chase is a general partner in Jacksonville Mini Storage, a self-storage facility in Jacksonville, Arkansas. We are building our commercial transaction book deliberately, deal by deal, and we would rather tell you that plainly than pad this page with numbers we cannot show you.
