About the Firm

Our roots run deep in the Pacific Northwest.

We don’t just close deals. We help families, investors, and businesses secure the kind of financial freedom that allows them to be present for what matters most.

Our Promise

We approach real estate from an ownership perspective.

Operating as Hawkins Edwards, Inc. (DBA ACRE Commercial), we advise investors, developers, and landlords throughout Washington State and North Idaho. With offices in Spokane and Seattle, our team is deeply rooted in the markets we serve.

In addition to representing clients, we selectively partner in acquisitions and development projects. That experience shapes how we advise. We underwrite like owners, negotiate with discipline, and stay focused on execution.

Mission

What we focus on.

Our clients range from private investors and family offices to regional developers and operators. Whether the objective is yield, value-add repositioning, development upside, or capital preservation, we align each opportunity with a clear investment thesis.

Regional Platform, Local Insight

We understand how capital behaves differently in Spokane than in Seattle. We track retail growth corridors, demographic shifts, tenant demand, and redevelopment patterns across the state and into North Idaho.

Development-Informed Brokerage

Through H&E Development we have delivered retail, industrial, mixed-use, and multifamily projects from site to stabilization — a rare combination that creates value at every stage.

Leadership

Powered by commercial experts.

A collaborative team spanning Spokane and Seattle, focused on long-term relationships across the Pacific Northwest.
