Your One Source for CRE Deals and Smarter Reinvestment Opportunities
Why give up a big percentage of your investment gains to taxes? We combine CRE brokerage expertise with tax-deferred strategies like 1031 exchanges and DSTs.
Because Specialized Expertise Matters
Scott Douglas, the founder of Douglas Commercial, has spent more than 20 years helping clients buy, sell, and lease commercial real estate in Maryland and surrounding states.
Seeing the need for investors to do more than just initiate taxable transactions, he became licensed to offer real estate investments, including DSTs (Delaware Statutory Trusts).
Scott provides a complete set of services that blend brokerage with tax-deferred investment strategies, working creatively to deliver solutions tailored to the needs of each of his firm’s clients.

Why Clients Turn to Us:
One-Stop Commercial Real Estate Services
Most CRE brokerage firms aren’t licensed to sell DSTs, and most stock and bond financial advisors don’t specialize in real estate transactions. So, as a real estate investor, you are limited to financial products subject to substantial market volatility.
Douglas Commercial can add a new asset class that is not subject to the volatility of the securities markets.
