“We are personally grateful to Kyle and IronVest for helping us find our next space. When we first met Kyle, I promised him we were “easy clients” – I know I broke that promise (sorry Kyle). He was patient and did an excellent job walking us through different options, helping us understand the market, and facilitating the conversation with the owner, construction company, and everyone else involved.”

“At RaceTrac, we recently closed on a property in Milton, Florida, after evaluating nine different sites across the trade area. Sims was a key partner throughout the entire process. His persistence, market knowledge, and commitment to our goals were evident every step of the way. Sims navigated multiple challenges with professionalism and always kept the process moving forward. He was responsive, solution-driven, and never lost sight of what we were trying to achieve. Thanks to his efforts, we secured the right site in a competitive and evolving market. We’re grateful for his partnership and look forward to working with him on future projects.”

“I first met Shepard in 2018 when Birmingham became a market of interest for us. It took very little time for me to realize Shepard’s level of expertise in the urban market, but more importantly, the off-market which ultimately uncovered multiple development opportunities. What impressed me most about Shepard is his determination to provide value and customer service. Whenever I had a need or if an issue came up, Shepard was quick to address it to ensure things kept moving forward. I have no doubt we will continue to work together moving forward.”
Charlie Vatterott | VP of Development – Aspen Heights Partners
“Jordan Weaver was able to quickly assess my business and commercial real estate needs. He was very motivated and worked within a limited timeframe to find a property that was off the market and a perfect fit for my business. Jordan coordinated all aspects of the sale, so I could remain focused on running my business and clients. I highly recommend Jordan! His motivation and expertise made for a seamless experience buying a commercial property and moving my business.”

“I chose IronVest Partners to sell my industrial property. I chose them over several other real estate companies. My choice was based on the work they did up front to win the listing in addition to being local. They came up with a very good strategy to market the business and they took the lead while still respecting my concerns, as well as my tenants. They worked through all issues bringing in the required resources. They kept the momentum going throughout the process. I am very satisfied with IronVest, Bart Moore and Robert Cook. I give them my highest recommendation.”
Scott E. Roach
“I’ve known Robert Crook for several years now and done multiple transactions with his firm. His determination to fulfill his clients’ objectives combined with his rigor to maintain the highest integrity make him the number one pick in my book. His knowledge in multiple facets of the commercial real estate world is second only to his impeccable track record of success in the development of actual real estate. He’s smart, he’s trustworthy, and he’s proven. In my opinion, there’s no reason to go anywhere else.”
