Sedberry & Associates

What Sedberry & Associates does

Sedberry & Associates is a privately held, boutique commercial real estate firm founded in 1994 by John Sedberry and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The firm operates as a single integrated brokerage, development, and asset management platform focused exclusively on retail commercial real estate within New Mexico, with eight service lines: landlord representation, tenant representation, development services, investment services, financial services, asset management, construction management, and vacant land brokerage. Underlying technology is limited to industry-standard property and accounting systems (Timberline, Yardi, QuickBooks); the firm has no proprietary technology platform.

The firm's business model combines transaction-based brokerage commissions (sales, leases, and investment offerings), ongoing asset management fees (nearly 2 million square feet of office, retail, and industrial properties under management), construction management fees, and financing procurement fees (loans placed ranging from $1M to $20.5M). Customer segments are concentrated on national retail chains entering or expanding within New Mexico, institutional owners and developers (pension funds, REITs, banks), and local property owners and investors. Notable enterprise clients include Walgreens, Target, Costco, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Kohl's, Best Buy, Walmart, Apple, Trader Joe's, and Presbyterian Hospital.

The firm holds a national affiliation with Chain Links Advisors, awarded based on retail specialty activity since 1994, which provides access to national retailer networks and referral flow. Documented development wins include ABQ Uptown (a 40-acre mixed-use project with a 220,000 SF lifestyle center, 160,000 SF Urban Target, 199 residential apartments, and a 15,000 SF Trader Joe's) and Cottonwood Corners (a 250,000 SF power center). The firm has facilitated approximately 4,350,000 square feet of retail development and the market entry of 75 national retailers into New Mexico, operating with a headcount of 11-50 and no disclosed external funding.
