CPA + Licensed Broker + Tax Consultant

San Antonio Commercial Real Estate — Brokerage With Built-In Tax Intelligence

Most brokers close the deal and hand you off to an accountant. Mike Berlanga is the accountant. As a CPA, Licensed Real Estate Broker, and Senior Property Tax Consultant, he evaluates every commercial transaction through a financial, tax, and valuation lens — so you never overpay on the property or the taxes.

The Difference

What Happens When Your Broker Is Also a CPA

In commercial real estate, the purchase price is only part of the equation. Property taxes, depreciation, entity structure, and reassessment risk can make or break a deal's actual return. Most brokers don't touch those numbers — Mike lives in them.

Typical Broker

Focuses on the Transaction

Finds the property, negotiates the price, closes the deal. Tax implications, reassessment exposure, and long-term cost of ownership are left for your CPA to figure out after the fact — when it's often too late to restructure.

Mike Berlanga

Analyzes the Entire Financial Picture

Before you sign, Mike models the property tax impact of the acquisition, identifies protest opportunities on the current appraisal, evaluates cap rates with real tax data, and structures the deal to minimize your total cost of ownership — not just the sticker price.

Typical Broker

Refers You Out for Tax Questions

Have a question about 1031 exchanges, depreciation recapture, or how a property's assessed value will change after sale? Your broker sends you to a CPA who doesn't know the deal details. Information gets lost in translation.

Answers Tax Questions at the Table

Mike handles the brokerage, the tax analysis, and the property tax protest — all under one roof. No referrals, no information gaps, no surprises after closing. Your broker, CPA, and tax consultant are the same person.

Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial Real Estate Questions — Answered

Why hire a broker who is also a CPA?
Most brokers focus on the sale price. A CPA-broker evaluates every deal through a financial lens — analyzing cap rates with real tax data, projecting property tax exposure after reassessment, modeling depreciation schedules, and identifying 1031 exchange opportunities. You get transaction expertise and tax strategy in one advisor, eliminating the costly gap between your broker and your accountant.
We handle all commercial property types in San Antonio and Bexar County — office buildings, retail centers, industrial and warehouse space, multi-family apartment complexes, mixed-use developments, medical offices, hospitality properties, raw land, development sites, and special purpose properties. We also assist with residential transactions.
Yes — and this is the key advantage. As a Senior Property Tax Consultant in addition to being a Licensed Broker and CPA, Mike can protest the property tax valuation on any commercial property he helps you buy or sell. This means your property taxes are optimized from the moment you take ownership, not months later when your CPA finally reviews the numbers.
When a commercial property changes hands, the Bexar Appraisal District often reassesses the value based on the sale price. This can significantly increase the property tax burden compared to what the previous owner was paying. Mike models this reassessment risk before you close, so you know your true annual cost of ownership. In many cases, he can immediately protest the post-sale appraisal to bring it back down.
We primarily serve San Antonio and Bexar County, with reach into surrounding counties including Comal, Guadalupe, Kendall, and Medina. The I-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin is an especially active market for commercial investors, and we handle transactions throughout that growth corridor. For qualified clients, we also work across the broader Texas market.
