Jesus Araiza

Jesus has been a principal with several DFW based real estate sponsors for the past 15 years. He most recently founded and led a retail platform over the course of 10 years that acquired approximately 245 assets (representing just under $900M) across the country. Jesus has focused on high growth markets in the Sunbelt and has developed a strong network of brokers and advocates that have enabled him to source off-market deals. Most recently he was an advisor to Crexi, a $500M CRE technology startup that has disrupted the online property marketplaces (LoopNet and Auction.com).

As the product of an immigrant entrepreneur that exposed him to the retail and industrial sectors, Jesus uniquely combines his ‘street’ knowledge with an academic pedigree from Jesuit College Prep and Duke University. Jesus has been a strong supporter of several charitable organizations that focus on low-income childhood education.
