About QEM Estates

Buyer-Focused.

Strategy-Driven.

Built for Net Lease Investors.

Quinn Mitchell II built QEM Estates around a single conviction: net lease buyers deserve a broker who works the deal from their side of the table. Twenty years, thousands of transactions, one focus.

Meet the Founder

Quinn Mitchell II

Founder and Managing Director

“Net lease buyers deserve a broker who sits on their side of the table. That is the entire reason QEM Estates exists.”

Quinn represents private investors in the acquisition of single-tenant net lease properties nationwide, with a focus on assets leased to strong national tenants and structured for predictable long-term income.

Before launching QEM Estates, he closed more than $50 million in net lease transactions across quick-service restaurants, dollar stores, convenience stores, medical groups, automotive properties, and national retail operators.

His experience includes buyer representation, off-market sourcing, due diligence, lease analysis, tenant review, financing coordination, and closing execution on all 1031-eligible asset classes. That hands-on experience shaped the foundation of QEM Estates: a brokerage built to help buyers make informed decisions, not simply chase the next available property.

Our Approach

A Buyer-First Approach to Net Lease Investing

We start with the investor, not the listing. Every step is built around your timeline, your criteria, and your long-term strategy.

01

Understand Your Goals

We learn your acquisition criteria, target geographies, return expectations, and 1031 timing before we look at a single property.

02

Source & Evaluate

We tap on-market listings and off-market relationships to surface single-tenant net lease opportunities aligned with your profile.

03

Analyze Thoroughly

Tenant credit, lease structure, location quality, and asset condition all get the same investor-side scrutiny we would apply to our own capital.

04

Negotiate Confidently

We negotiate price, terms, and contingencies from your side of the table, with leverage built from market data and deal experience.

05

Close & Support

We coordinate due diligence, financing, title, and 1031 deadlines so closings are smooth and post-close ownership is clean.

Experience

National Tenants. Investor-Grade Assets.

QEM Estates has closed transactions on properties leased to credit-tenant operators across quick-service, convenience, automotive, drug, dollar, and casual-dining categories.

That tenant breadth lets us calibrate pricing, cap rates, and risk profiles against real comparable transactions, not theoretical benchmarks. When you receive a recommendation from us, it is anchored in market data and direct asset-class experience.

1031 Exchange

Supporting 1031 Exchange Buyers

Tight deadlines, complex identification rules, and replacement-property pressure are familiar territory. We move at the pace your exchange demands.

i.

Deadline Discipline

We track 45-day identification and 180-day closing dates from day one, with property options surfaced well ahead of each deadline.

ii.

Replacement Property Sourcing

We source multiple investor-grade replacement candidates so you have real choices rather than scrambling at the deadline.

iii.

Coordinated Closings

We coordinate with your QI, attorney, lender, and title company so identification and closing move as a single workflow.
