Christian Gates
After more than 20 years owning and operating restaurants, I understand that commercial real estate decisions are often tied to much larger business and personal goals.
Whether selling a business, acquiring property, evaluating value, or planning for transition, experience from the ownership side brings a different perspective to the process.
Today, I work with business and property owners throughout New York’s Capital Region, providing strategic guidance in commercial real estate, business sales, valuation, and transition planning.
