Dallas-Forth Worth: Growth, One Handshake at a Time

By Keith Sherman, Business Development at Swartz and Associates

Don Swartz, the president of Swartz + Associates, joined me here in DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) recently for several days of meetings with current clients and prospects.

Our objectives were threefold:

• Share a significant success story we recently achieved for a new client in this market
• Reconnect with several of our longtime clients
• Gain insights on the market to strengthen our ability to make a difference with new partners and clients in DFW

For those who may not know our company, Swartz + Associates is a full‑service commercial property tax firm specializing in the review, analysis, and appeal of real and business personal property tax valuations. We recently achieved a 40% valuation reduction for a multi‑family property in Tarrant County, an outcome that will save our client hundreds of thousands of dollars in property taxes.

The DFW market is highly competitive in the services we provide.

While we are not new to the region, our business development efforts continue to grow with each handshake, connection, and conversation. Everyone we met was generous with their insights and recommendations on events and activities that can help us enhance our presence. Even better, many offered to refer us to companies and other influencers in the commercial real estate ecosystem in DFW.

Who knows where a handshake may lead? In our business, it can save companies money on their second or third largest expense. At the end of the day, when businesses help one another succeed, the entire market becomes stronger.
