Donald W. Zentmeyer

Using Don on your real estate transaction is like adding your own general counsel to the team. From his experience as in-house counsel at companies like Diamond Shamrock and Pizza Inn, Don learned to focus on the bigger picture and to emphasize what is really important to the deal. Don further honed his real estate development skills at his previous law firm where he worked for clients such as The Home Depot and Toys "R" Us, Inc. Whether it’s forming an acquisition entity, negotiating financing, or putting the finishing touches on contracts, easements or leases, call Don to get the deal done in his focused, unflappable way.
