KRIS MCGEE
EXP COMMERCIAL
Kris McGee Advisor, Senior Vice President, eXp Commercial
A commercial real estate advisor, entrepreneur, developer, and investor. I sell land. I help landowners and investors unlock their property’s hidden value and achieve premium sales with minimal stress. I’m unique because I’ve walked in my clients’ shoes through 1,123 (and counting) transactions as a developer, investor, and broker, giving me the rare ability to see opportunities others miss.
With three decades of experience in commercial real estate, I’ve discovered that true success comes from helping others achieve their vision. As both an advisor and active investor, I specialize in:
• Investment land sales and development
• Site optimization strategies,
• Mobile home parks, RV Parks, Industrial and Self-storage investments
What sets my approach apart is a deep commitment to collaboration. I believe the best outcomes emerge when we combine my expertise with my clients’ goals and local market knowledge. Every property has a story, and every owner has a vision – my role is to help bridge the gap between the two.
As a lifelong entrepreneur and active investor in these asset classes, I bring both practical experience and strategic insight to every relationship. My clients benefit from the same analytical rigor and market intelligence I apply to my investments.
I’m passionate about being a trusted resource in our industry. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or new to commercial real estate, my collaborative approach ensures we navigate complexities together to unlock your site’s full potential. And yes, I’m proud to be known as a “Dirt Dawg”.
