PATTON JONES

Jones co-founded Newmark’s Central Texas office and is responsible for the Austin and San Antonio conventional multifamily capital markets business, including investment sales. He oversees business development, market research, and property disposition while leading a team of nine experts to serve clients’ needs through equity, debt, acquisition and disposition services. The team closed, contracted or financed over $4 billion in 2021.

The core of any business is its people, and that’s what he enjoys most.

“Over my fifteen-year career,” Jones said, “I have met countless interesting, intelligent, and kind people. These people, from all over the U.S. and the world, have become career clients and friends. Our business is unique because investors from around the world invest in our local Central Texas communities. They are genuinely interested in what is happening on every street corner in the neighborhoods they are investing in. As a result, we spend time touring, driving and breaking bread in Austin and San Antonio with many different types of people. Truly great business and personal relationships result from all the time spent together.”

This people-first philosophy has gained him recognition as the top-producing broker for the multifamily investment sales team company-wide, as well as countless awards industry-wide, including CRE Multifamily Transaction of the Year (2022), Connect Commercial Real Estate Top Broker (2021), and GlobeSt Multifamily Influencer of 2020.

Aside from commercial real estate, he serves the local community through his involvement with the Dell Children’s Hospital, Lymphoma and Leukemia Society, The Rise School of Austin, and Foundation Communities, to name a few. He also enjoys spending time with family, golfing and traveling.

He said: “My wife and I used to live in London and Hong Kong, and subsequently, we enjoy taking the kids to see different countries and cultures. One of my favorite quotes is, ‘The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.’”
