Managing Principal & Broker

Tien Le, MBA, CCIM

Tien Le is a Managing Principal & Broker specializing in retail, restaurant, industrial warehouse, and land transactions across Texas. Since founding Tarastones Commercial in 2022, he has represented landlords, tenants, buyers, and sellers, helping local and growing business owners find the right location and structure the right deal, whether the goal is a lease or an investment.

Before real estate, he spent six years in finance and accounting, building financial models, analyzing company cost structures and unit economics, and supporting company IPO. Tien then joined Whitestone REIT (NYSE: WSR), a publicly traded REIT, as a real estate analyst, underwriting roughly $147 million in assets. He later moved to the leasing team, representing the landlord, and became the top leasing performer in Houston in 2018 and 2019. He then joined Brixmor Property Group (NYSE: BRX), another publicly traded REIT, where he handled leasing activities for 1.37 million square feet of retail shopping centers in Houston and Dallas.

Seven years on the landlord side taught him how landlords underwrite a deal and where they have room to move. He applies that same analysis for clients, testing occupancy cost, lease economics over the full term, and whether a site’s sales can support its rent. The goal is a win-win deal for both sides, so it closes and holds up after signing.

Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing soccer, running, taking road trips, and hiking.
