My real estate career began in 1975 as a commercial agent with Tenneco Realty, leasing the then recently built 47 story, 1100 Milam Building's office space and tunnel retail in downtown Houston. Acquiring his Texas real estate Broker's license in 1977, my responsibilities expanded to Leasing Manager for the then Tenneco Building and related retail, additionally acquiring overflow office space for Tenneco, Inc. outside of the Tenneco holdings. I have represented numerous buildings in downtown Houston including First City Tower, Wells Fargo Plaza, Houston Center complex, and Greenway Plaza until 2001. Also, during this time I was affiliated with two general brokerage houses, providing commercial brokerage in the areas of retail and industrial in southeast Houston.

In 2001, I joined a national developer to perform site selection for Walgreens. Primary responsibilities included identifying, assembling, and acquiring parcels for Walgreens and related retail development, which also included analysis and disposition of these assets; while also acquiring land, and assisting with two residential development programs.

Landin Interest, Inc., established in 2008, reflects 48 years of my commitment to the commercial real estate industry with the spotlight on industrial and retail markets and distressed bank REO properties. My association with KW Commercial and appointment as a director for KW Commercial Texas Gulf (KWCTG) in 2013, speaks to his expertise and enthusiasm as a Commercial Broker. At KWCTG, Wayne has taken on the additional role as a mentor for agents wanting to learn and become more involved in the commercial real estate industry. Working hand in hand with these agents through the complete transaction from listing to closing making sure that the clients' needs are first and foremost and the final goal is reached. While using normal procedures and process an, "outside the box" thinking is used to create all possible solutions so that the client reaches the best possible solution for their real estate portfolio.

Additionally, he is a past president and current board member of Gulf Coast Commercial Real Estate Network (CREN) and Bay Area Commercial Real Estate Network (BACREN) - organizations focused on commercial real estate education and marketing.
