Experience:

Prior to joining the brokerage team at NAI Carolantic in 2009, Mr. Adams’ commercial real estate career actually began in 1985 when he worked for Cameron-Brown Company in the Income Property Division. He later joined the Raleigh office of Shoptaw-James where he was responsible for commercial loan production until 1990. A year later, he formed Adams Commercial Properties where he successfully completed a 291-acre, 600 lot residential subdivision development that led Wake County sales for three consecutive years. Additionally, he served as an acquisition agent for the McDonald’s Corporation providing market research and contract negotiations for the purchase of restaurant sites in Central North Carolina until 1996.

Having most recently operated his own mortgage company, Mr. Adams brings years of financial experience to NAI Carolantic in the origination of permanent, non-recourse commercial loans for all property types. His mortgage experience combined with his real estate background will be invaluable to our clients, especially those dealing with investment properties.
