As Commercial Sales and Leasing Advisor with Meybohm Commercial, Jonathan thrives on putting the pieces together—sometimes in unexpected ways—to solve problems and connect buyers and sellers with the right properties. Originally licensed in 2005, Jonathan has built his business by specializing in portfolio planning, land & site selection, multifamily brokerage, and downtown development.

Jonathan’s portfolio planning has mostly centered around advising owners and developers of commercial properties on sales and 1031 exchanges, along with underwriting potential transactions, to further their investment interests.

Jonathan’s approach to site selection and commercial land brokerage differs from that of many of his competitors: He starts from a list of all potential sites, rather than simply on-market sites. This tends to be more work but has led to finding off-market ideal locations for his clients. Notable site selection clients including Domino’s Pizza, SRP Federal Credit Union, Hardees, Popeyes, 7-Brew, Whit’s Frozen Custard, and many others. Jonathan and his team also handle surplus property for many retailers and developers, and work with master development and subdivision projects.

In representing sellers for multifamily brokerage, Jonathan’s approach is to accomplish the due-diligence work up front to make it easier for buyers to evaluate and underwrite potential properties—leading to higher prices and faster sales. That due diligence includes 3-D virtual tours, photos of roofs and utility systems, cleaning up financial statements, and more. He also works to justify pricing by proactively handling potential appraisal issues, with the result that many of his sales are well above market price. His track record includes numerous downtown duplexes and quads, along with Cedar Pines, Renaissance Apartments and Ridgewood Apartments.

Before working in commercial real estate, Jonathan was the CFO at downtown Augusta’s Christ Community Health Services for 6 years, overseeing finance and operations for a community health center employing 60 staff and serving over 20,000 patients annually. He was responsible for financial modeling, annual budgeting, and compliance, along with HR & IT.

Jonathan also makes his home in Martinez with his wife, Emily, and five children, Libby, Manny, Daniel, Witt, and Matthew. He has lived in Augusta for more than 20 years, has served as a deacon at First Presbyterian Church. He earned his BBA and MBA from Augusta University. Jonathan received his CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) designation in 2020, and his CMAP in 2023. He has worked with Meybohm Commercial since 2020 when Presley Realty merged with Meybohm Commercial. In his spare time, Jonathan enjoys reading, cycling with his kids, and spending time with family.
