Roger


Bexar Met's water plant


Judy Gray

Capital Asset Property’s creator and broker, Roger Gray, has played an active role in San Antonio’s business community for over 25 years. Starting from a job selling food to restaurants, he parlayed his bilingual Spanish language skills and knowledge of Mexico into a consulting business advising companies on doing business there. That consulting company grew and evolved into one of the largest trade show and exposition companies organizing events in Mexico.

After selling the expo company, Roger focused back on his home base of San Antonio, and helped Bexar Metropolitan Water District with economic development and land matters. Roger brought United Water to Bexar Met, and together they built the city’s first, history-making potable water production plant that uses surface water.

His work on land and development with Bexar Met logically led him into commercial real estate, with a special focus on land for investment and development. After a very rewarding and constructive time working with the venerable and respected firm of Investment Realty Co., Roger opened Capital Asset Properties to allow him the flexibility to provide his clients more focused and personalized services.

Roger enjoys the added advantage of working closely with his wife, Judy, who is a well-known San Antonio real estate attorney. It’s not uncommon for the two of them to wind up collaborating with clients on larger deals.

One outgrowth of Judy's legal practice has been RGD Realty, a professional Home Owners Association management company. Dissatisfied with the service they had gotten from other HOA management companies, some of Judy's developer clients asked that she take over the management of their HOAs.

Now managing 10 neighborhoods, from far southwest San Antonio to New Braunfels, RGD Realty is ably run by Jeff Corff, with Judy's guidance.

Deeply involved in the civic life of San Antonio, Roger presided over the San Antonio-Mexico Sister Cities Committee, and served on the board of directors of the Free Trade Alliance San Antonio from its founding in 1994 until 2006, serving for three years on that body’s executive committee. He currently serves on the Board of Governors of the REALTORS^® Commercial Alliance, the governing body for commercial REALTORS^® within the San Antonio Board of REALTORS^® (SABOR), and sits on SABOR’s Government Affairs Committee.

For the last two years, Roger has also been proud to serve on the Board of Directors of the Autism Treatment Center. He currently heads the Fundraising Committee of that board.

Roger is also a published writer, having had a weekly column in the now-defunct San Antonio Light newspaper on doing business in Mexico, and was the co-author of “How To Do Business In Mexico,” published in 1997, by the University of Texas Press.

Today, in the little amount of free time he has, Roger enjoys good food, fine wines, and playing with his and Judy's pets: Opie, the Golden Retriever, and Opie's devoted best friend, Kinky, the broken-tailed cat.
