DALLAS, TX – STRIVE, a commercial real estate investment sales firm based in Dallas, Texas, and its Managing Partners Jennifer Pierson and Jason Vitorino are pleased to announce that Adam Gottschalk has been promoted to Partner.

 

Gottschalk has transacted on 83 properties worth over $237 million since joining STRIVE at its inception in February 2017. His current market focus is single- and multi-tenant retail assets across Texas, with a particular concentration in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

​

“I’m so thankful for this opportunity to grow individually and as a company with two of the best partners in the business,” Gottschalk said. “I’ve always been a believer in setting goals and achieving them in my career – this was one of those moments. I have learned that to be successful in real estate long-term you have to climb the stairs, not take the elevator. Cheers to many more milestones for STRIVE.”

​

2020 was one of Gottschalk’s best years at STRIVE, closing 24 transactions worth nearly $85 million. He has consistently performed as one of the firm’s top agents, earning a yearly spot in STRIVE’s prestigious President’s Club since its establishment in 2017.

​

Additionally, from 2016-20, Gottschalk has been recognized as a Power Broker for Retail in D Magazine’s CEO Edition.

 

“Adam has been with me for over eight years,” Vitorino said. “I remember when he drove here from California in his Chevy Volt, and to see the young man he has grown into is the most rewarding part of owning a company.

 

“He’s had tremendous success as a broker by adding value to clients, solving problems and closing transactions. But more importantly, he’s a great guy with a solid moral compass, a giver rather than a taker, a guy that one can trust in good times and in bad. I’m so proud of him and he’s a future leader not only in this company but within the our industry.”

 

Previously, Gottschalk worked for a publicly traded commercial real estate company in Dallas. At the previous firm, he had closed over $30 million in transaction volume and earned the office “Rising Star” award in 2015.

 

Gottschalk earned his bachelor’s degree in Real Estate Development and Business Management at the University of Arizona. He also holds a pilot’s license and played safety for the University of Arizona football team from 2008-11.
