About Roots
Grounded in Texas commercial real estate and business brokerage.
Roots Commercial Real Estate was founded to give Texas commercial property and business owners a real estate advisor who understands how their operation actually runs, with healthcare and veterinary real estate as our flagship specialty.
Our Story
Why Roots exists
Matt Evans started in commercial real estate in 2015. By 2016 he was working exclusively in healthcare real estate, helping hundreds of doctors navigate leases, practice startups, and ground-up development projects across Texas. That hands-on, operator-level experience inside doctor-owned real estate is what led him, roughly four years ago, to found Veterinary Sales & Consulting (VSC) and build out a full veterinary practice transition business. Roots Commercial Real Estate extends that same expertise across every commercial property type and business sale in Texas, representing buyers, sellers, tenants, landlords, and business owners alike, with healthcare and veterinary real estate — where it all began — remaining our flagship specialty.
Matt has shared what he’s learned about practice operations and transitions on stages including the Southwest Veterinary Symposium, the Western Veterinary Conference, and Lone Star Vet Academy. That experience carries directly into how Roots evaluates a building, a lease, or a site.

Matt Evans
Principal BrokerMatt founded Roots in 2020 to represent buyers, sellers, tenants, and landlords across every commercial property type and business sale in Texas. He has spent more than ten years in commercial real estate, with particular depth in healthcare and veterinary properties, and he and his team have completed hundreds of transactions. He also owns and leads Veterinary Sales & Consulting, an M&A firm handling veterinary practice transitions. That combination gives him an operator’s read on a deal. He reads a business’s financials the way a buyer will, then negotiates the real estate accordingly.

Affiliate
Veterinary Sales & Consulting
For veterinary practice sales and transitions, Roots works alongside our affiliate, Veterinary Sales & Consulting (VSC), so the real estate and the business transaction move together, matching closing timelines, coordinating due diligence, and avoiding the disconnects that happen when the real estate and the business sale are handled separately.
