Ellis & Tinsley, Inc. and Vasseur Commercial Real Estate Join Forces to Create Firm Rooted in Experience, Relationships, and Local Expertise
Two of Fort Worth’s most respected commercial real estate firms — Ellis & Tinsley, Inc. and Vasseur Commercial Real Estate — have merged to form Team & Vasseur Commercial Real Estate (TVCRE). The new firm brings together proven leadership and experienced staff to carry forward shared legacies of local knowledge, deep-rooted relationships, and unwavering commitment to the Fort Worth and Tarrant County West communities.
Nathan Vasseur and Charles “C.B.” Team — leaders from the merged firms and well-known figures in the Fort Worth real estate community — drove the merger and have taken the reins as partners at the new agency. Vasseur, whose family has been a force in local real estate since the 1970s, has guided hundreds of office, retail, industrial, and land transactions. Team, a fifth-generation Fort Worthian, has spent nearly two decades advising clients on development, leasing, and property management. Both partners are invested in Fort Worth’s future and serve on civic and nonprofit boards throughout the region, actively channeling time and resources back into the community.
Team and Vasseur are excited to bring their teams of seasoned professionals together, combining shared values and decades of experience to launch a firm that respects its history while embracing forward-thinking strategies to meet Fort Worth’s evolving real estate needs.
“There are agents in our shop with 20, 30 — even 50 years of experience,” said Team. “Our ‘least’ experienced agent has been in the field for almost a decade and knows all the ins-and-outs of commercial real estate in Fort Worth. Our clients know they can come to us to talk to experienced people with unmatched local knowledge.”
“C.B. and I share many of the same goals for this new company,” Vasseur added. “We want to be the firm Fort Worth businesses trust because we understand their market. At the same time, as a combined firm, we’re able to leverage newer technology and efficiencies that a larger office will always have over separate, competing offices. It’s the best of both worlds.”
TVCRE will operate from a newly renovated building at 4420 W Vickery Blvd, in the heart of West Fort Worth. The building’s design features architecture from the Postmodern era with energy efficient upgrades and drought-tolerant native landscaping — a nod to Team’s service on the Tarrant Regional Water District Board of Directors. Bill Ellis, founder of Ellis & Tinsley, will remain involved as an owner, while Vasseur and Team will take over management duties and lead the firm’s next phase of growth.
That growth will be focused on what Team calls the “three-legged stool” of brokerage, property management, and investment services.
“At TVCRE, we handle everything from small business leases, purchases, and management duties to syndicating investment property deals,” said Team. “Maybe you’re a newer business expanding out of co-working and looking to set up your first office, or a local medical group or retail entrepreneur — we can help you lease that space, buy that property, sell that property, whatever you need. We can do it for you.”
“At our core, we’re a local relationship company,” Vasseur followed up. “Fort Worth is a big city, but in one vital way, it’s still a small town. Relationships and reputation are at the heart of everything here. That’s why I’m proud to partner up with C.B. — he’s got a terrific, well-earned reputation. That’s critical when someone’s name is going to be on the door next to yours.”
“We were always friendly competitors,” Team concluded. “But working side-by-side we’ve realized we share the same values and the same vision for strategic growth. I’m excited about what comes next — for us, our team, our clients, and for Fort Worth!”
