Bio
Jaben holds the prestigious CCIM designation, recognized globally as the highest standard in commercial real estate. He specializes in investment sales, leasing, and complex commercial transactions. As a fiduciary, he focuses on rigorous financial analysis and long-term legacy building for his clients. What sets Jaben apart is that he doesn't just advise; he invests. He has personally deployed capital into real estate deals, raised capital alongside partners, and works directly with municipalities on real estate projects. When Jaben recommends an investment, he is putting his own money where his mouth is. His passion for business and financial stewardship started young; he officially launched his first business at 14 years old and never looked back. That same entrepreneurial drive has taken him around the world, shaped his perspective on markets and people, and deepened his belief that wealth is best built with intention and integrity. He has served as Chairman of the Industrial Committee for a publicly traded company, and sits on the board of Cooperative Christian Ministries. He is also the co-founder of Marketplace Men, a Charlotte-based ministry that gathers men in business and the professions to pursue their faith together, roles that reflect his commitment to leadership and service that extends well beyond the closing table. At home, Jaben is a husband and father, and those roles anchor everything he does professionally. His faith and family are not separate from his work; they are the foundation of it. He is genuinely passionate about stewardship, sharpening others through great conversations, and helping clients build legacies that outlast any single deal. I am not just a broker. I am your advisor, your fiduciary, and steward of your capital. Real estate decisions carry financial, personal, and generational weight. I earn your trust through honest counsel, clear communication, and diligent execution. That trust brings clarity to complex decisions, creates greater speed and efficiency, and gives you the confidence to move forward with peace of mind. “Life’s about building great relationships with great people; if we can make some money while we’re at it, then good.” Sincerely, Jaben W. Starnes, CCIM jaben@starnescommercial.com Steward of property. Servant of legacy. -- Direct: (704) 380-7963 | NC Lic. #315996 210 Oak Ave | Kannapolis, NC
