Bio

Clients completing commercial real estate transactions look to Parker Reid for clear and pragmatic advice that helps them anticipate problems, work through complex issues, and get deals done. With a perspective informed by his in-house experience at a large national title insurance company, Parker helps businesses negotiate and close purchase and sale transactions, structure and finalize commercial leases, and review title and survey matters to ensure clean and marketable ownership interests. 

Parker’s practice focuses on commercial real estate, with particular experience in leasing, title and survey review, and property acquisitions and dispositions across multiple asset classes. He has worked on projects nationwide and has represented clients in sectors ranging from real estate development to transportation and logistics, including a major transportation-infrastructure transaction.

In addition to drafting and negotiating purchase and sale agreements, leases, loan documents, land development agreements, and construction documents, he helps his clients review title commitments and surveys, along with all underlying title instruments, and coordinates directly with the title companies and underwriters to resolve any title issues that arise during transactions. He has deep experience managing due diligence for institutional and middle-market property acquisitions, and advises on commercial developments, including build-to-rent properties and multi-family apartment complexes. He also has experience in multiple areas of real estate finance, including mortgage-backed securities transactions and refinancing.

A team player who takes pride in eschewing legal jargon for plain language and straight talk, Parker prioritizes communication and responsiveness in his client relationships. He is also noted for his discretion, having worked at a senior level in the federal government and was granted Secret security clearance in that role.
