Next Generation Honoree: Lee & Associates’ Reed Vestal is Tenacious, Driven and Dedicated

Reed Vestal, principal and partner with Lee & Associates — Houston, focuses on industrial, land and investment brokerage. He also manages the office by devising and executing business strategy. And, his hard work on behalf of clients, as well as dedication and tenacity, make him one of the youngest brokers to be named principal in the Houston office, and partner through the Lee & Associates national network.

“Throughout his time with Lee & Associates – Houston, he has surpassed all of our expectations and more,” said Mike Spears, managing principal with Lee & Associates’ Houston office. “Since joining our company, Reed continues to be ranked among the firm’s top producers each year.” Spears uses other words to describe his colleague: “Problem solver,” “gifted” and “ethical” are a few of them.

Vestal achieved CCIM member designation. He also obtained SIOR designation, making him one of the youngest, nationwide, to receive the honor. NAIOP honored in him with the “Rising Star Award — Industrial,” and the Houston Business Journal named him a “Heavy Hitter,” three years in a row.

“He isn’t just a broker or firm partner to me. He is my own personal broker, that I often hire to represent me on transaction,” Spears explained. “This is a testament to my level of respect for his abilities and skill level.”

This is why Vestal was named one of Connect Media’s 2019 Next Generation award recipients. Connect Media’s third annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders in the commercial real estate industry who are likely to be influential for years to come.
