Bio
Diane Lincoln

Brent Everson, CCIM
Manuel (Manny) De La Rosa and I have worked together on several real estate development projects in Shenandoah and The Woodlands, Texas. Manny proved to be a real asset and an integral piece of the overall development. Without Manny and his intimate knowledge and experience with real estate developers, city officials and overall value creation I know for a fact that my firm would not have seen the level of success that we did. I strongly recommend Manny for a leadership position in either the public and private sector as he is a rare find.
