Bio
Dallas is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer at T. Dallas Smith & Company. He began his commercial real estate career in 1982 at Atlanta Air Center Realty under the guidance of Thomas W.

His affiliation with the company opened doors for many minority brokers.
In 1995, he pioneered the brokerage division for H.J. Russell & Company, an African-American-owned construction and management firm, where he served as VP of the Brokerage Division. In 2006, with the blessing of the late Herman J. Russell, Dallas opened T. Dallas Smith & Company, specializing in tenant representation.
He is an innovator and thought leader in the commercial real estate community and is intentional about cultivating and developing diverse talent to help shape the commercial real estate industry.
