JIM KELLEY

PRINCIPAL / BROKER

Prior to launching Champions DFW Commercial Realty, I saw that the market was being underserved. It lacked quality commercial real estate services and I was led to launch Champions DFW Commercial Realty. My goal was simply to provide the highest level of professional, honest and straight forward customer service in the commercial real estate market. It is our passion at Champions to serve each of our clients’ real estate needs and deliver results that matter.

Jim Kelley, founded Champions DFW Commercial Realty, LLC in 2007. Prior to forming Champions he was a Sales and Marketing Executive, delivering solutions to top Fortune 500 companies.

His nearly 20 years of Commercial Real Estate experience – coupled with his extensive professional background, resourcefulness and keen knowledge of the local market –enables him to provide creative solutions and opportunities for his clients.

Jim received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Marketing from Abilene Christian University. He is an active member of several of the local Chambers of Commerce, as well as the NTCAR, TAR, SCR, NAR, NCE, AMA organizations.

Jim and his wife, Melanie, have 3 children – Jackson, Beau and Piper. They are an active family and enjoy serving and giving back within their local community. They are proud Carroll Dragons and are heavily involved in the Dragon Youth Football, Dragon Youth Baseball and Dragon Youth Cheer programs.

ERIC GOODWIN

DIRECTOR OF OFFICE / INDUSTRIAL SERVICES

I wanted to work for a boutique brokerage firm specializing in garden office and flex space sales and leasing. My roles in the software and telecom industries included sales and marketing and have helped in my transition to commercial real estate sales.

LON LLOYD

DIRECTOR OF INVESTMENT SALES & CAPITAL MARKETS

Values…Champions DFW approaches commercial real estate services with integrity and a servant mentality. I admire these traits and strive to treat my customers and clients the same way. Team…The Champions DFW team is very diverse and talented in their respective disciplines of commercial real estate. Our team concept allows us to provide a very broad range of services to our clients. Location…I was raised in Northeast Tarrant County and have extensive brokerage experience in this area.

Lon Lloyd is the Director of Investment sales at Champions DFW. He is responsible for working with investors and property owners to define their investment goals. Once these goals are identified, he will work with his clients to purchase and sell investment property that achieves these financial goals.

Lon has held numerous management and investment commercial real estate roles in the DFW area since the early 1990s, and his depth of knowledge of this market dates back to when he was a student at Keller High School.

“There is really no comparison between commercial real estate development in Southlake/Keller/Grapevine from the mid 1980’s to now. When I graduated from Keller High School we had less than 210 people in our graduating class. Keller now has four class 6A High Schools each with hundreds of students that will graduate this year, Southlake and Grapevine have experienced similar growth. The residential growth has created demand for commercial growth. The landscape has certainly changed from agricultural to suburban over this time.”

Lon is a graduate of Texas Tech University where he earned his Bachelor of Business Administration and Marketing.
