Real estate is the most personal investment a person can make.
I refuse to treat it like a transaction.
My Story

I didn't come from real estate.
I came from working twice as hard.

I got my South Carolina broker's license in 2013 with one rule: every client gets the version of me that's all-in. Twelve years later, that rule has built The CREEA Group — a Southeast brokerage focused on commercial real estate, mentorship, and the kind of long-game thinking most firms don't have the patience for.

Along the way, the awards came. Rising Achiever in 2022. Chairperson in 2023. And in 2025, Forbes named me one of fifteen Entrepreneurs of Impact — a list I'm still trying to live up to. But what I'm proudest of isn't the trophies. It's the women I've mentored, the deals my clients still text me about, and the bilingual welcome I get to extend to every Spanish-speaking investor who used to feel locked out of this industry.

If you're here, you probably want one of three things from me: a deal, a mentor, or a speaker. I'd love to be all three.

What I Do

Three ways I work with people who build wealth.

Every engagement is personal. Whether you're closing your first deal or scaling a portfolio, I sit on your side of the table.

01
Ashley Flott — Investment Sales & Acquisitions broker, The CREEA Group Brokerage · Off-market deal flow
Brokerage

Investment Sales & Acquisitions

I help investors find — and exit — commercial assets that pencil. Multifamily, retail, office, hospitality, flex, special-purpose: if it has a cap rate, I've underwritten one. Off-market deal flow, full diligence, Spanish-speaking investors welcome.

  • Off-market sourcing across 8 Southeast markets
  • Full underwriting & cash-flow modelling
  • Disposition strategy for legacy assets

02
Ashley Flott — Leasing & Portfolio Management representation Representation · Landlord & tenant
Representation

Leasing & Portfolio Management

For landlords: I market, lease, and protect the income on your asset. For tenants: I find space that fits the business you're actually running, not the one a generic broker thinks you should be. For investors with a portfolio: I run point on performance, lease management, and repositioning when an asset stops earning its keep.

  • Landlord & tenant representation
  • Active lease management & renewals
  • Asset-level repositioning & reporting

03
Ashley Flott — Commercial Development advisory and the CREEA Mentorship Program Advisory · Development & Mentorship
Advisory

Commercial Development & Mentorship

For developers — site selection, feasibility, financial structuring, and delivery. For aspiring brokers and founders — the CREEA Mentorship Program: real deals, real underwriting, real time with me. The same path I wish someone had built for me in 2013.

  • Ground-up feasibility & site selection
  • Cohort-based broker mentorship
  • Speaking engagements, panels, podcasts

The CREEA Mentorship Program

The path I wish someone had built for me.

Most brokerages onboard you with a desk and a script. The CREEA Mentorship Program gives interns and rising brokers something different: real deals, real underwriting, real client work, real-time feedback from me. Three current cohort members are in marketing, finance, and CRE — three different lanes, one common standard.

  • Open to undergraduates & early-career professionals
  • Bilingual cohort — Spanish-speaking applicants encouraged
  • Hands-on with live deals, not coffee runs
  • Pathway into a brokerage license, finance role, or your own firm

In Their Words

What clients say after the deal closes.

"Ashley walked us through a portfolio acquisition like she had a personal stake in every dollar. The market knowledge is real — but the part that surprised me was how much she advocated when the deal got hard."
MT

Marcus T.

Commercial Investor · Multifamily Acquisition · 2024

"Ashley's network across the Southeast is a different category. She found us a property that wasn't even on the market yet — closed in under 60 days. I now send her every investor I know."
SK

Sandra K.

Portfolio Manager · Off-Market Acquisition · 2023

"We needed retail space leased fast and at the right rate. Ashley had it marketed, toured, and signed in three weeks. She negotiated terms I didn't even know we could ask for."
