Commercial Real Estate in Austin & Central Texas
Sales · Acquisitions · Leasing · Investments
David Ashby is a Realtor with JB Goodwin REALTORS, working out of the firm’s Commercial Office in Austin. His core focus is commercial real estate — representing clients through sales, acquisitions, leasing, and investments across land, multifamily, and office/retail properties — where he works with investors, business owners, and property owners to identify opportunities and structure deals from evaluation through close.
Areas of Focus
Sales
Representing sellers in land, multifamily, and office property sales — from pricing and marketing strategy through negotiation and close.
Acquisitions
Representing buyers and investors in identifying, evaluating, and closing on land and commercial property, including out-of-state buyers who can’t be on the ground for every step.
Leasing
Representing both tenants and landlords through site selection, lease negotiation, and relocation or expansion.
Investments
Advising investors on structuring and closing commercial property investments, from raw land to income-producing assets.
A Background Built for Commercial Deals
Before real estate, David spent 17 years in the IT industry with Northrop Grumman, a Fortune 75 defense contractor, working across finance, project management, and business management, and holds a bachelor’s degree in finance. That background shows up directly in how he handles commercial transactions — reading the numbers closely, managing every deal like the project it is, and keeping complex transactions organized and on track from contract to close.
