Sales & Acquisition


Throughout its history, Woodcrest has been a developer, active purchaser and seller of real estate, including undeveloped land, office buildings, shopping centers, apartments, warehouses, and other commercial properties.   Its concentration on a variety of property uses has led to a flexibility adapting to the market and a unique ability to identify growth trends, capitalizing on the value they create.

The size of typical transactions are 3 to 25 million dollars and thousands of acres, to small opportunistic purchases making Woodcrest's interest and its activities without limits.   Although its concentration and focus has been primarily Tarrant County and the Fort Worth-Dallas Metroplex, Woodcrest has also been very involved throughout the state of Texas as well as opportunities which have become available in Florida, Illinois, and Alabama, Kansas and Tenessee.   These development and acquisition activities have been instrumental in the growth and development of communities and the redevelopment of existing neighborhoods.

We are always interested in well valued properties in growth areas to add to our portfolio.   Our primary focus is on neighborhood and regional retail centers throught Texas.

New Development and Major Renovation


The complex process of developing new income-producing properties has become a strength and a growth area for Woodcrest.   Its success has come from combining the vision and real estate expertise of its founder Jim Ryffel. Specializing in community and neighborhood lifestyle shopping centers, small to medium sized office buildings, self-storage facilities, boat and RV storage facilities, and other commercial properties, Woodcrest has built properties throughout the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex and is now developing properties in other parts of Texas.   Benefitting from a talented staff of construction professional, project managers and construction superintendents, the company has an ability to move quickly and complete a project on even the shortest of schedules.    The results have been an impressive portfolio of properties, such as the newest "life-style shopping centers", for its own portfolio and partnerships.

Additionally, Woodcrest's development team has been successful in taking existing and older properties and completely renovating them, creating a revitalized project with new growth potential and a profitable upside to their future.   Often these overlooked opportunities can reward the ownership and their surrounding neighborhoods with new and exciting activity, as well as increased revenue and reduced maintenance costs.   The vision and the talent to see these potential successes in often over-looked properties attributes to the fast growth in Woodcrest's impact on the real estate scene.

Property Management


Often an undervalued activity, but a key component to Woodcrest's success is property management. Woodcrest, not only owns, but also operates, leases, and manages its properties. With a talented team of professionals, this component of the Woodcrest group, oversees the maintenance, collects revenue, manages the finances and expenditures, and coordinates activities on existing properties, such as the finish-out construction and occupancy of new tenants or renovation of existing properties.

The team required to maintain a solid performance of its properties includes financial managers, tenant liaisons, maintenance technicians, and leasing professionals. The coordination of these activities requires exceptional organization, close scrutiny, and a sincere responsiveness to the needs and requirements of both the tenants and patrons of these commercial properties. Woodcrest prides itself in all these areas, while moving quickly to solve any unforeseen problems that may develop. It is a challenging task but one that the Woodcrest team has been successful in and continued to handle in-house since the company's beginning.

Real Estate Brokerage and Leasing


Although Woodcrest seeks working relationships with outside real estate brokers, the majority of its activities, both in sales and in leasing has come from its own talented staff. Woodcrest has a team of real estate professionals who are constantly creating transactions for sales, acquisitions, and leases. These activities include the real estate properties owned by Woodcrest and its related partnerships, but also includes many successful projects for other owners.

Over its history, Woodcrest's real estate brokerage services has resulted in both the sales and acquisitions of large acreage tracts, office buildings, shopping centers, warehouses, and many other commercial and residential properties. Its leasing activities has extended to large corporations, banks, retail companies, restaurants, manufacturing entities and many other commercials businesses.
