Tej has nearly a decade of experience in commercial real estate, with a practice centered on retail brokerage and land transactions, representing clients on acquisitions, dispositions, and leasing engagements across multiple markets. He began his brokerage career with a boutique firm, building expertise concurrently as a commercial appraiser, which gave him a strong foundation in valuation and underwriting across a range of asset types. In his first several years as a broker, he transacted nearly $100M in commercial real estate sales and leasing.

Tej's practice today is focused on retail brokerage and land acquisitions and dispositions, working with regional and national retailers, developers, and property owners on transactions ranging from single-tenant retail buildings to multi-tenant centers and development sites. His work spans sourcing and underwriting opportunities, navigating regulatory and land-use due diligence, structuring acquisitions and dispositions, and negotiating leases for retail users, with particular strength in land acquisition and off-market deals. He has advised clients across a wide range of development opportunities, evaluating highest-and-best-use for land and redevelopment sites in support of clients' growth and expansion plans.

Tej brings a detail-oriented, analytical approach to every assignment, drawing on his appraisal background to underwrite deals with precision and identify value that others might overlook. His command of zoning and entitlement processes, paired with sharp negotiation and deal structuring skills, has been central to his track record of maximizing value for clients across acquisitions, dispositions, and leasing engagements. As part of Lee & Associates' broker-owned platform, he draws on a national network of market experts to serve clients wherever their real estate needs take them, and he supports the team's master brokerage program, serving as a national point of contact for expanding tenants and coordinating with local market brokers to execute site selection and deal execution in each market.
