Problems Julie solves
Sound familiar?
A lease renewal is coming and the landlord holds all the cards
Tenants who negotiate alone rarely know what comparable space is leasing for or what concessions are on the table. Julie represents tenants in office, retail and industrial negotiations, drawing on leasing and tenant representation experience that began at The Staubach Company in 1999.
A growing company needs more space and has no time to search
Julie handles the search, the tours and the proposals so the owner can keep running the business. A client described her as patient, taking the time to understand what the space is for and how it will be used.
A vacant property that is not leasing
Owners who need property leased get a time-proven process for marketing the space and vetting tenants. One landlord client said that for property leased or a property to lease, there was no need to look further.
Buying or selling a commercial building
Brokerage for office, retail and industrial property, backed by the resources of the KW Commercial platform and years of operations and leasing experience.
A first-time commercial tenant who does not know the questions to ask
Julie has owned a retail business herself, so she knows the lease terms that matter to an operator, not just to a landlord. She consults as well as represents.

★★★★★4 years agoWhether your needing property leased or searching for a property to lease look no further. Julie has been amazing from day 1. She is an absolute asset to have on your team no matter the circumstances. Julie has not only been available the majority of times we needed to communicate with her she continues to demonstrate her supremacy in her field by returning all missed communications in remarkable time as well as her flexibility in continuing to meet her clients needs. Julie, in my opinion, has to be one of the best in the business; not only is she extremely flexible and personable she is just as knowledgeable.
★★★★★5 years agoJulie has been a tremendous resource in helping with my commercial real estate questions. She is very patient and takes the time to understand what I am looking for and how I intend to use the space. She is very thorough and helped advise me on the things I need to be prepared for and gave me important details that I didn’t think to ask about. I would recommend Julie to anyone that is considering buying or leasing commercial real estate.
About
Julie Smith
Julie Smith is a licensed commercial real estate advisor with KW Commercial, working from the McKinney office at 7200 West University Drive. Her focus is all aspects of representation and consulting for business owners and investors.
Julie began her commercial real estate career in 1999 at The Staubach Company. Her experience since then covers operations, leasing and tenant representation, and brokerage across office, retail and industrial property. She has also owned a retail business herself, which gives her a tenant's view of what a lease actually costs a company month to month.
She pairs that background with KW Commercial's processes and resources, and she describes her approach as using time-proven methods to her clients' advantage. Whether a company is negotiating its first lease, outgrowing its space, buying a building or selling an investment property, Julie works through the market, the numbers and the negotiation on the client's side.

Read the guideQuestions people ask Julie
Does a tenant pay for representation?
Ask Julie about how commissions are structured for a specific deal. In commercial leasing the landlord typically pays the brokerage fee, but terms vary by property and should be confirmed in writing before engaging.
What kinds of property does she handle?
Office, retail and industrial, for both tenants and owners, plus land through KW Commercial's North Texas Commercial and Land Group.
How early should a tenant start before a lease expires?
Early enough to have real alternatives. Julie can review the lease and the market so the renewal is negotiated with options on the table rather than against a deadline.
Does she work outside McKinney?
Yes. Her office is in McKinney and she represents clients across Dallas–Fort Worth.
What is her background?
She started in commercial real estate in 1999 at The Staubach Company, has worked in operations, leasing, tenant representation and brokerage, and has owned a retail business.
