Bio
Tim Lopez is the Founder and Managing Director of The Tim Lopez Group, bringing more than three decades of experience across commercial real estate brokerage, construction, business acquisitions, and senior housing operations. His work is grounded in a practical, transaction-driven approach, with an emphasis on complex deals that require strategic structuring, operational insight, and disciplined execution. Tim’s experience spans office, retail, industrial, R&D, multifamily, mixed-use, land development, site selection, investment sales, and leasing. He regularly represents owners, users, and investors in acquisitions, dispositions, repositioning strategies, and long-term portfolio planning. His background allows him to bridge the gap between real estate, operations, and capital—an advantage for clients navigating nuanced or distressed situations. In addition to his brokerage work, Tim has over 30 years of hands-on construction experience, including metal buildings, commercial improvements, ground-up projects, and complex renovations. This technical foundation enables him to evaluate properties beyond surface-level metrics, providing clients with realistic assessments of cost, feasibility, and risk. Tim is also the Managing Partner of Haven Care, a multi-location assisted living and memory care operator in New Mexico, where he oversees real estate, licensing, renovations, and financial operations. This operating experience informs his advisory work in senior housing, healthcare-adjacent assets, and owner-operator real estate. Licensed in California and New Mexico, Tim is based in Carlsbad, California, and actively serves clients throughout San Diego County and nationwide. He is known for his direct communication style, integrity-first approach, and ability to guide transactions from concept through closing without unnecessary friction.
