Walter Montague brings more than three decades of commercial real estate experience to Trusted Capital Partners, with a background spanning property valuation, underwriting, asset management, and investment sales across multiple property types. His experience includes retail, multifamily, industrial, land, and office assets, serving both institutional and private investors nationwide.

​

Throughout his career, Walter has worked on all sides of the real estate transaction. He has held senior roles at national brokerage firms, including Cushman & Wakefield and National Apartment Advisors, where he focused on acquisition and disposition strategy, underwriting, valuation oversight, and complex transaction execution. Over time, he has been involved in more than 100 commercial real estate transactions with aggregate values exceeding $1 billion.

In addition to brokerage and advisory work, Walter brings an owner-operator perspective that closely aligns with the clients Trusted Capital Partners serves. He is a Principal and Board Member of Crawford Austin Properties, a privately held real estate firm that owns and manages industrial and retail properties throughout Texas. In this role, he has spent decades evaluating long-term strategy, capital structure, financing decisions, and the practical challenges faced by property owners as assets mature, transition, or are passed to the next generation.

​

At Trusted Capital Partners, Walter partners with property owners to evaluate liquidity events, tax exposure, and reinvestment options with clarity and discipline. His experience in valuation, financial modeling, and debt structuring allows him to assess Delaware Statutory Trusts and other real estate securities from an owner’s perspective, with an emphasis on capital preservation, risk management, and long-term alignment. He works closely with owners of legacy, family-held, and income-producing properties to help navigate important transition decisions.

Walter earned his MBA in Finance from the University of Houston’s Bauer School of Business and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He has been a licensed Texas Real Estate Broker since 1994 and remains actively involved in commercial real estate ownership and advisory work.
