As a veterinary commercial real estate broker with more than 30 years of experience in the animal health industry, I understand what veterinarians need from their space—and how location and layout affect daily operations, client experience, and future growth.
My firsthand knowledge of veterinary practices includes clinical workflow, equipment requirements, and the spaces that support revenue-generating services. I bring that perspective to commercial real estate, helping veterinarians evaluate locations with both today’s needs and tomorrow’s goals in mind.
Your practice deserves a broker who understands the business behind the medicine.
Thank you so much for being proactive and for keeping us posted on your actions. It is very much appreciated!

I wanted to send a personal note to the two of you and say THANK YOU, sincerely, for all your help during this process. Particularly your patience with my endless questions! Hard to believe that I have been in business for over 2 decades and still feel like such a newbie with this stuff.
Your willingness to be available and communicative during this process was terrific and it was so nice to feel like I wasn’t going through all this alone. I know ultimately it was my decision, but having someone to bounce options off of and talk through possible concerns was immensely helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

If you’ve ever tried to place a veterinary practice into a leased space, you know it’s not exactly like placing a nail salon or an insurance office. Vet practices come with treatment area plumbing needs, surgery prep, oxygen concentrators, waste gas scavenging, full body xray and dental xray, a comfort room, the occasional barking dog…
I work almost exclusively on the tenant side but some of the most useful things I’ve learned about representing tenants well came from paying attention to what actually moves an owner. Early on, it’s tempting to think of a deal as tenant vs. owner. It’s not. It’s translation. It’s understanding the needs of each side…
I lost a vet deal a couple weeks ago, and I’m still thinking about it. Not because of a better offer, not financing, not a slow CUP process. I lost a deal because a landlord got spooked at the finish line because he pictured barking dogs scaring off his other office and medical tenants. I…
Sound familiar? Your waiting room is full. Your associate just asked about a partnership track. You’re booked three weeks out, your surgery schedule is locked, and your team is firing on all cylinders. By every measure that matters in veterinary medicine, you’re winning. And every month, you write a rent check to someone else. That…
Zoning, Conditional Use Permits (CUPs), and Veterinary Leases: What To Know Before Signing One of the most expensive mistakes a veterinary tenant can make is____________________________? The answer: to sign a lease before confirming zoning approval. This happens more often than one would think. I always recommend getting the zoning approval in writing or email. Never…
Veterinary medicine has changed dramatically over the past decade. Today’s practices offer advanced diagnostics, expanded dentistry, technician-driven services, and rehabilitation—all while operating inside buildings that were often designed back when the pharmacy paid the bills {sigh} and X-ray machines looked like they belonged in a museum! That’s why space planning for a veterinary practice isn’t…
