Ellis County Commercial Industrial Real Estate Brokerage

Ellis County, Texas lies just south of Dallas along I-35E, balancing rapid Metroplex growth with a proud small-town spirit. Founded in 1849 and now topping 240,000 residents, the county spans 952 square miles of fertile Blackland Prairie and humming industrial parks. Its five largest cities—Waxahachie (county seat), Midlothian, Ennis, Red Oak, and Ferris—anchor commerce, logistics, and manufacturing, drawing employers that value strategic highway access, a skilled labor pool, and welcoming communities primed for sustainable growth.

Bold. Reliable. Effective.

Bates Real Estate translates that momentum into results. As an independently owned, second-generation brokerage headquartered in Dallas, we concentrate solely on industrial and commercial property. We guide Ellis County owners who want to sell or lease warehouses, flex spaces, land, or freestanding facilities. Our brokers work the street, not an ivory tower—they walk every slab, photograph every dock door, verify power, and pull the comps, then convert raw data into plain-language recommendations that shorten time on market and maximize net proceeds. We also monitor construction pipelines, vacancy reports, and freight indices, so you decide with confidence—not guesswork.

Keeping Real Estate Real Simple.

Because we represent both landlords and tenants, we negotiate from every angle—allowable uses, timing, power upgrades, early-termination options, and future loading-dock retrofits—so deals close quickly and endure. Backed by more than sixty combined years, over four hundred transactions, and one-billion-plus dollars in volume, we bring a can-do attitude that treats a mom-and-pop cabinetry shop in Ferris with the same intensity we show a Fortune 500 distribution hub in Midlothian.

When you engage Bates Real Estate, you gain market intelligence on land-use trends, tax incentives, and absorption rates from Waxahachie’s rail-served industrial parks to Red Oak’s forty-five-foot-clear distribution corridors. We craft pricing strategies that mirror Ellis County’s accelerating demand, build drone-enabled marketing packages that spotlight loading efficiencies, and negotiate clauses that protect cash flow, expansion rights, and exit horizons. Our regional database and national SIOR network place your listing in front of qualified decision makers the moment it hits the market. From environmental studies to utility district negotiations, our team orchestrates every moving part, freeing you to focus on your core business.
