Core Values

At New Branch Real Estate Advisors, our culture is deeply rooted in four core values that drive what we believe and how we behave.

These values are what makes us, well, us.
What We Offer
When we’re called upon to help people explore and achieve their commercial real estate goals, we jump in completely and remain steadfast throughout the journey. We leverage our extensive local market knowledge and experience, and we respond with the level of urgency and care our clients deserve. In doing this, we form lasting relationships.
There is no secret formula for achieving commercial real estate success. The market and economic conditions change constantly, and every client’s needs call for creative thinking, quick response, and astute navigation. We look ahead, anticipate what’s around the corner, consider traditional and non-traditional options, and advise accordingly.
Every client’s request for guidance is a vote of trust and confidence that we have to earn every day. We believe in straightforward talk and setting realistic expectations, and never, ever compromise a client’s ability to achieve success. Doing the right thing comes naturally for us, always putting our clients’ financial success front and center. This is our fiduciary duty, and we take it seriously.
We acknowledge that as individuals we bring diverse skills, knowledge and perspectives to the commercial real estate challenges we encounter. We also know that collective thinking and teamwork are more powerful than going it alone. Our culture and our success call for mutual support of each other, our industry partners, and the people who depend on us.

Our Team

We take the time to understand your goals, the property, and the market before recommending a path forward.

What Our Clients Say

Trusted by property owners, investors, and business leaders across the Charlotte region.

I have been around long enough to know that these transactions would not have happened as quickly or as smoothly as they did if Ryan and the New Branch team were not involved.

Donald E. Moore
President & CEO, Vanquish Fencing Solutions Inc.
I had a very smooth experience with Ryan of New Branch when selling a parcel of land (approximately 54 acres). He negotiated fair market value and followed through during what became a long, drawn-out process with the buyer. Overall, it was a smooth transaction with his guidance leading us through the sale.

Bob Cavalline
Our landlord recently switched from one property management company to New Branch Real Estate. At first, I was hesitant about the change, but now I’m very happy it was made. They are easy to communicate with, proactive, understanding, and cause no issues for us at all—it’s great!

New Branch Tenant
The New Branch team was very helpful throughout the entire process. Our sale wasn’t large, but they gave it their full attention. They assisted with some unusual items outside the normal scope of a realtor’s work. I would definitely work with them again.

John Robbins
Ryan and Doug worked diligently for close to a year to help us find the perfect property. In a very tight seller’s market, they identified the ideal warehouse in a great location and negotiated a strong contract price. My employees and I are very happy!
