Our Story. Our Values.

Our Promise.

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.

ABOUT US

Our roots run deep in the Pacific Northwest.

At ACRE Commercial, 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 and actively engaged in the flow of capital across the region. We don’t just broker transactions — we analyze risk, evaluate return, and structure opportunities with long-term value in mind.
 
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.

OUR SERVICES

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 work to align each opportunity with a clear investment thesis.
Our core services include:
  • Investment sales brokerage
  • Retail and land brokerage
  • Development advisory and entitlement strategy
  • Site selection and tenant representation
  • Acquisitions and strategic investment partnerships

A Regional Platform with Local Insight

With a presence on both sides of Washington, 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. Our strength is regional focus. We know the municipalities, the players, the lenders, and the entitlement process. That local understanding allows us to move efficiently and identify opportunities others may overlook.
