Since our inception in 2010, Lowery Property Advisors has grown from a small commercial real estate valuation shop with big dreams, to a force to be reckoned with, by more than tripling our size in the last 4 years. Our numbers speak for themselves with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for revenue of 31.4% and 27.9% for personnel since 2011. As part of that tremendous growth, we have scaled technology, processes, and people to ensure that the heart and soul of LPA has never wavered, and our clients’ best interests have never and will never, be compromised. With a focus on our culture, core values, and our reputation of on-time delivery, we have built an incredible foundation of quality service, top-notch team members and loyal clients of all sizes who know they will always get the very best commercial real estate appraisals from LPA.

Our Core Values
Humble
At LPA, humility is our foundation. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we do take our work very seriously. No matter a team member’s title, we’re ready to roll up our sleeves and help one another succeed. From our one-person start in Mansfield, Texas with $80,000 and a lot of prayers, we’ve stayed grounded, embracing the idea that our work speaks louder than our egos. Humility may not always be visible, but it quietly supports our growth and allows us to face challenges head-on, without ego getting in the way, so we can reach the best solutions efficiently and effectively.
Positive Attitude
We believe positivity is contagious—and so is negativity. That’s why we choose to approach challenges with energetic, positive, can-do attitudes. When COVID halted our work overnight, we took lemons and made lemonade, creating a CRE research site that kept us connected to our industry and gave our team purpose. Whether it’s a quick response to a client request or supporting a teammate, we stay upbeat, focused with an eagerness to learn and grow, knowing that this attitude is how we serve the best.
Collaborative
Collaboration isn’t just the way we work, it’s who we are. In a profession as complex as commercial appraisal, multiple perspectives lead to stronger, more credible results. At LPA, every team member has a seat at the table, a voice in the conversation, and a willingness to both lead and follow as the situation requires. Offices support each other with inspections, training, and problem-solving, and we’ve built a culture where information flows freely, not hoarded for individual gain. This shared commitment has fueled our growth and led to many of our leaders being promoted from within.
Pursuit of Excellence
Excellence is our obsession. Like championship teams with an unrelenting drive for perfection, we pay attention to every detail, every time. Our strategy and history will tell you that haven’t used extravagant marketing initiatives to attract clients, because our track record speaks for itself. We consistently deliver highly credible, on-time appraisals at a fair price, exceeding expectations and earning repeat business. Complacency has no place here. Whether responding to a status request or perfecting a valuation, we hold ourselves to the highest standard.
Integrity
Integrity is non-negotiable. In an industry where pressure to “make the value” can be intense, we stand firm, because doing the right thing matters more than winning the wrong way. The appraisal profession itself was shaped by the Savings & Loan crisis of the 1980s, when a lack of integrity in valuations contributed to financial collapse. That history reminds us why rigorous ethical standards are essential. Like clean water, integrity is simple but vital for survival. From our earliest days to every report we produce, we uphold honesty, transparency, and trustworthiness, knowing that our reputation is our most valuable asset.
