Years NNN Focus
A generalist commercial broker can show you a NNN property. A specialized NNN broker knows whether the deal is actually good — cap rate relative to tenant credit, lease structure pitfalls, market rent compared to in-place rent, and what the property will be worth when you sell.
The ESS Group focuses exclusively on single-tenant NNN properties. That means our off-market deal relationships, lease review expertise, and market knowledge are concentrated in the one asset class you're buying — not spread across office, industrial, and multifamily.
Eli's legal background informs detailed lease analysis as your broker, including rent provisions, landlord obligations, and renewal terms.

ESS Group NNN Broker
Six reasons serious NNN investors choose The ESS Group as their advisor.
Eli's legal background informs investment-focused lease analysis as your real estate broker. We examine landlord obligations, renewal terms, and co-tenancy provisions and coordinate specialist diligence.
The best NNN deals never hit LoopNet. They're sold through broker networks, direct seller relationships, and sale-leaseback conversations. As your NNN buyer's broker, we bring you deals before institutional buyers see them.
A 45-day identification window waits for no one. We maintain active NNN inventory so exchange buyers can identify quality properties fast — without settling for what's left on the public market.
We work exclusively with corporate-guaranteed NNN leases — McDonald's, Starbucks, Dollar General, CVS, AutoZone, and comparable investment-grade credits. No franchisee-only deals, no weak tenants.
As a pure NNN buyer's broker, we represent your interests exclusively. No dual agency. No pressure to move listings. Our only job is finding you the right property at the right price.
A decade of exclusive NNN focus across all 50 states. We've closed QSR, pharmacy, dollar store, auto parts, convenience, ground lease, and build-to-suit NNN transactions at every price point from $1M to $20M+.
From first call to rent check — what to expect working with a specialized NNN investment advisor.
01
We start with a 30-minute call to understand your budget, target tenants, cap rate expectations, 1031 exchange timeline, and state preferences.
02
We match your criteria against current off-market and pre-market NNN inventory — deals not visible on LoopNet, CoStar, or any public portal.
03
Evaluate landlord obligations, co-tenancy provisions, and renewal risk as investment factors, coordinating specialist diligence before you commit.
04
We manage escrow, title, lender, and QI coordination through to close. You collect rent from day one with no management responsibilities.
A NNN broker specializes in sourcing, evaluating, and closing single-tenant triple net lease investment properties. Unlike a generalist commercial broker, a NNN broker maintains a network of off-market deal flow, understands cap rate analysis, tenant credit evaluation, and lease structure review specific to the NNN asset class.
NNN brokers focus exclusively on single-tenant triple net lease properties — they are not generalists covering office, industrial, and multifamily. Triple net lease brokers maintain dedicated off-market deal flow, understand the specific lease clauses that matter in NNN (co-tenancy, kick-out, landlord repair obligations), and typically have deeper tenant credit knowledge than generalist commercial brokers.
In most NNN transactions, the broker's commission is paid by the seller — not the buyer. You receive full buyer's broker representation at no cost to you. We disclose all compensation arrangements in writing at the outset of every engagement.
A NNN deal finder is a broker who actively searches for triple net lease properties matching your specific criteria — rather than simply showing you publicly listed inventory. A true NNN deal finder has off-market access through broker networks and direct seller relationships, screens deals for quality before presenting them, and works exclusively for the buyer. The ESS Group operates as a dedicated NNN deal finder for accredited investors nationwide.
Yes — specialized 1031 triple net lease brokers are essential for exchange buyers. The 45-day identification window is unforgiving. Brokers who focus on NNN and 1031 exchanges maintain active off-market inventory specifically for exchange buyers and understand QI coordination, identification letter requirements, and 180-day close deadlines. The ESS Group has managed hundreds of 1031 exchanges into NNN properties.
A listing broker represents the seller and is motivated to close at the highest price for their client. A NNN buyer's broker represents you exclusively — negotiating price, reviewing the lease, managing due diligence, and protecting your interests throughout the transaction.
Yes — and a specialized NNN broker is arguably the most important professional in a 1031 exchange. The 45-day identification window requires ready inventory. The ESS Group maintains active off-market NNN deals so exchange buyers can identify quality properties immediately after closing their relinquished property.
We source NNN properties in all 50 states. Our deepest relationships are in California, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and the Carolinas — but we have closed transactions in 40+ states and have deal flow across every major NNN market.
Tell us your investment criteria and we'll share current off-market NNN deals that match — no public listings, no pressure, no dual agency.
