Director of Acquisitions

• Founded in 2004 by local entrepreneurs Jordan Mollenhour and Dustin Gross, MGRE develops, acquires, and manages commercial real estate in East Tennessee.  
• Today our growing portfolio consists of over 2M+ square feet of large-scale industrial facilities and commercial office buildings in the Knoxville area.
• We have no outside investors, use debt conservatively, and have a long-term investment horizon.
• Our primary activities are to develop, acquire, and manage commercial real estate assets, and retain exceptional people to lead, support, and operate them.
• We are a small team with high expectations of one another, and we don’t apologize for our ambition.
• Life is short, and we only want to work with people we respect, like, and trust.

• Source and generate high-potential deal flow in the East Tennessee commercial real estate market, primarily in the industrial and office sectors.
• Develop and maintain granular understanding of the many factors (macro and micro) affecting the local commercial real estate landscape.
• Build and nurture relationships with a focused network of external stakeholders, including brokers, property owners, economic developers, and professional services providers.
• Display elite pipeline discipline while tracking activity in a data-rich system of prospective opportunities.
• Execute (or at least assist with) financial analysis and deal modeling.
• Coordinate due diligence efforts – including survey, title, environmental, legal, structural, etc. – with an eye toward ensuring the team is on track.
• Strengthen our presence and reputation in the market and be a credit to your colleagues.

• You possess integrity, character, and a reputation for honesty beyond reproach.  Full stop.
• You drive action and “get stuff done”.
• You are a natural relationship-builder who genuinely likes people and is energized by talking to strangers.
• You balance a relentless hunger to pursue opportunities, with an investor’s fidelity to only execute deals that create economic value.
• You understand the concept of opportunity cost and ruthlessly prioritize your time to focus on the highest-value tasks.
• You are very numerate, capable of quickly estimating whether “the deal pencils.”
• You enjoy a working environment where you will be coached, challenged, and disagreed with.
• You are a learner, who continually strives for personal, professional, and organizational improvement.
• You have an orientation toward independence and autonomy, balanced with a desire to work and communicate in a team environment.
