Our Journey
The definition of the word ‘trek’ is “a long arduous journey, especially one made on foot.” Every component of buying property, developing property, or leasing property is that – a journey. TREK Commercial Development was established in 2019 and is a subsidiary of Northwest Realty Advisors, established in 2012. Drawing on 25 years of experience, TREK Commercial Development has distinguished itself by hiring talented people with a commitment to excellence, hard work, and a strong dedication to meeting the needs of our clients and the communities where we work. Considered an industry leader with Franchise Owners, TREK Commercial Development earned its position through steady growth, efficiency, finesse, and above all – integrity.
