Culby Culbertson brings a hands-on, investor-first perspective to commercial real estate capital markets. After beginning his career in the oil and gas industry with Halliburton in Midland, Texas, Culbertson transitioned into real estate during the 2018–2019 market cycle, quickly finding his niche on the capital side of the business. He went on to help build a capital markets firm from the ground up before founding Culbertson Holdings, LLC in 2023. Since entering the industry, he has arranged over $500 million in debt and equity across more than 12 states, with a strong concentration in Texas commercial markets.
As Founder of Culbertson Holdings, Culbertson leads a team of five producers specializing in the origination and structuring of capital for commercial real estate transactions across all major asset classes – including multifamily, hospitality, industrial, retail, ground-up construction, and land development. The firm is known for its expertise in creative capital structures, including preferred equity, mezzanine financing, and seller carry arrangements, and serves experienced operators, developers, and investors navigating complex transactions. This expertise becomes increasingly important as traditional lending sources tighten and investors seek alternative financing solutions.
Culbertson is also an active investor, with personal holdings in multifamily assets in Central Texas and self-storage in East Texas, giving him a practitioner’s perspective that directly informs his advisory work. "Capital markets are the nucleus of every commercial real estate transaction," said Culby Culbertson. "Whether it’s organizing the debt, structuring the equity, or finding the creative product that bridges the gap – that’s where deals get done or fall apart. I’m excited to share what we’re seeing on the ground in Texas markets and help more investors, operators, and developers understand how to structure their deals to win in today’s environment."
Culbertson’s areas of expertise include commercial real estate capital markets, ground-up construction and land development financing, creative capital structures, and Texas market intelligence. These specializations address critical gaps in the current market where many traditional lenders have pulled back from certain asset classes or geographic areas. The Texas focus is particularly significant given the state's continued population growth and economic expansion, which creates both opportunities and financing challenges for developers and investors.
