ROGER'S BACKGROUND
Just for fun, here are some of my favorite videos:
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 economic 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.
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 is one of the principal founders of the newly-formed South Texas Commercial Association of REALTORS®, was the 2010 chairman of the Board of Governors of the REALTORS® Commercial Alliance, the former governing body for commercial REALTORS® within the San Antonio Board of REALTORS® (SABOR), and previously served on SABOR’s Government Affairs Committee.
Roger is also proud to be an active member of 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 is the co-author of “How To Do Business In Mexico,” (right) published in 1997, by the University of Texas Press.
