Bill Clements, CCIM | PartnerBill represents clients in three capacities; project leasing (landlord/tenant representation); development/re-development; and investment sales. Through various subsets to those disciplines, he negotiates leases and purchase contracts, assesses property, brokers real estate disposition, and analyzes market demographics and trade areas. Bill earned the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation from the CCIM Institute in 2008 and currently serves as the president of the Alabama Chapter Board. He is also a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) and the Birmingham Association of Realtors.
Community Involvement
Bill has been a Big Brother through Big Brothers Big Sisters for over eighteen years and has served in many board capacities, with the most recent creating an honorarium board and special fundraising committee. In addition, Bill supports children’s medical needs as a member of the Monday Morning Quarterback Club (MMQBC). He partners with Unbound Grace as a mentor in the recovery discipleship program where he admittedly doesn’t understand all of the technicalities but participates and always picks up the lunch tab which counts for something. He is an active member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church where he mostly enjoys the Sunday school class and the church’s contemporary band.
Early Years & Education
Bill was born and raised in Montgomery where his father’s history as a stockbroker continues to fuel his interest in the economy as a whole. The financial news airs in the office conference room daily keeping all who pass by in-the-know. He is a graduate of the University of Mississippi with a general business degree. Before his career in commercial real estate, Bill served as an officer in the United States Air Force with a focus on cost, schedule, performance, and testing of weapon systems.
Hobbies & Fun
Bill’s oldest is now in junior high with “real” coaches, and his youngest has politely requested he step aside from the whistle. He purchased a chair and silently anguishes over bad calls and poor play. Exercise remains his stress release — whether F3, swimming, running, or keeping the double-end bag honest. A scuba refresher revived an old hobby (gear upgraded, adventure pending). Over the summer, he braved a Boy Scout trek at Philmont, New Mexico, learning firsthand that backpacking has a steep learning curve but one he ultimately conquered.
Concerns & Philosophies
Cryptocurrency still baffles him but he tries to understand it. World politics often disappoints and confuses him but sources greater apprehension. He believes in determining what the market is and makes the deal. If either side will not bend, move on. Chasing every battle only risks losing the war, so he chooses pursuits wisely. What a client wants for a property and what it’s worth can be two different things.
Brooks Corr, CCIM | PartnerBrooks maintains a focused approach within real estate development/redevelopment, investment sales, and project leasing (inclusive of landlord and tenant representation). While he finds all aspects of the industry captivating, he has a particular passion for serving as an advisor to family estates, trusts, and family offices, guiding them through the strategic processes of acquiring, operating, and divesting real estate assets across the United States. Brooks has been involved in the sourcing and acquisition of hundreds of retail properties, and he prides himself on getting involved as early in the process as possible. With a high level of attention and service, he advises clients through the transaction process from initial underwriting and creation of pricing strategy, all the way through to closing and lease-up or stabilization. Brooks’ focus on working directly with tenants and leasing agents in the redevelopment and stabilization of assets has a proven track record of driving results and improving the NOI within a portfolio. He is dedicated to achieving success for his clients by maintaining a hands-on approach throughout the entire transaction process.
Additionally, Brooks has developed ground-up properties and possesses a remarkable affinity for navigating the mountain of detail inherent in a development project.
Brooks earned his CCIM designation in 2011 and currently serves as Past President of the Alabama CCIM Chapter and sits on the chapter’s Executive Committee. Brooks was awarded the recognition of the Birmingham Business Journal’s Top 40 Under 40 in 2023. He is also a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) and the Birmingham Association of Realtors.
Brooks is an active member of Redeemer Community Church where he serves as an elder, and he and his family sign up to the philosophy “live life full throttle while serving others;” and they’re all in.
Early Years & Education
Brooks was born and raised in the Magic City where generational real estate knowledge flows like the Cahaba river through his blood. He is a graduate of Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. His influence sparked a redevelopment revival in what is now one of the finest cities in the Southeast. Those salty civilians who remember the tougher times still nod to his influence around domino tables while playing “moon” and “42” and smoking big cigars.
Hobbies & Fun
The Corr family recently relocated while considering a ground-up construction project — a blessing and a curse when every corner detail and color palette demands attention. Tennis has also become a favorite pastime, and this summer the hard courts of Flushing Meadows welcomed new fans in the family. The annual ski trip hangs in the balance, pending everyone’s schedules.
Concerns & Philosophies
Brooks knows he can’t control both sides of every situation, but when two trains are clearly set to collide and the solution seems obvious, it weighs on him. When the sun sets, overhead lights go off. Wall sconces and lamps set the tone for winding down. Always run the numbers. If the project pencils and the need is real, proceed.
Leasing Cowboy | “Deal-Wrangling Extraordinaire”Meet Leasing Cowboy, the leasing prodigy who rode in from out West to take the Southeast by storm. He’s a friendly fella, always tipping his hat and flashing a big grin to anyone he meets. But don’t let his folksy charm mislead you – this guy is a leasing mastermind. He can wrangle deals and lease spaces faster than a rattlesnake can strike, and he’s got a knack for leasing that’s sharper than a cactus needle. Rumor has it that the locals can’t get enough of Leasing Cowboy. They love hearing his tall tales of the Wild West, and he’s always game for a good ol’ fashioned hoedown. But it’s not just his cowboy swagger that’s won the hearts of the people – Leasing Cowboy has a knack for working well with everyone in town. He’s been known to sooth the grumpiest of landlords and tenants into signing on the dotted line. And his trusty steed, Closer, is by his side and always happy to lend a hoof when needed
The Leasing Cowboy isn’t just a cowboy for the real estate wild west; he’s also a neighbor who’s all about bringing good vibes to the community corral. Whether he’s volunteering his time or sharing a bit too much real estate advice at a BBQ, he’s got a knack for wrangling up community spirit and good ol’ neighborliness. He mentors aspiring young real estate wranglers and shows up for local events (and probably eats way too many donuts at the bake sales, but who’s counting?).
Early Years & Education
Found in a wicker basket drifting down the Rio Grande, with no hope in sight, The Leasing Cowboy’s life took a wild turn when Bartholomew, his adoptive father, brought him into the family business – a ragtag band of bank-robbing thieves. After years on the run, The Leasing Cowboy found himself at a crossroads: continue a life of tomfoolery or forge a path built on creating “win-wins” across the land. So, he hung up his bandit hat and saddled up for the world of leasing. Those years on the run gave The Leasing Cowboy people skills and real estate wisdom unlike any other. Destined for commercial real estate, he was raised with grit, a dash of financial savvy, and a knack for talking his way out of trouble. Today, he brings all that experience to the table, mastering the art of problem-solving and deal-wrangling.
Hobbies & Fun
When The Leasing Cowboy isn’t wrangling deals, you can find him out in the wild doing cowboy things or practicing his lasso skills on deal decoys. He’s also a self-proclaimed barbecue judge (no formal title, just a lot of brisket consumption) and an avid collector of bolo ties, which he swears are coming back into fashion. If you spot someone paddleboarding while wearing cowboy boots, don’t worry – it’s just The Leasing Cowboy, living life on his terms.
Concerns & Philosophies
The Leasing Cowboy firmly believes in a few simple truths: 1) Life’s too short for bad coffee or confusing contracts, 2) Every lease should be a win-win, and 3) If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.
His biggest concern? That someone, somewhere, might be signing a lease without fully understanding the fine print – a thought that keeps him up at night. He’s also deeply committed to eliminating unnecessary jargon from the real estate world because, let’s face it, no one wants to hear the words “force majeure” more than once in their life. At the end of the day, his philosophy is simple: Lease smarter, laugh more, and always have a backup lasso handy.
