General Counsel

Custom Capital — Remote (U.S.)

About Us

Custom Capital is a vertically-integrated commercial real estate origination platform that connects high-net-worth investors with institutional-quality Absolute NNN (triple net lease) investment opportunities nationwide.

We're not a broker. We're not a developer. We function as a shared family office—sourcing deals, performing full due diligence, assembling equity, coordinating financing, and managing every step from LOI to close. Our members get 100% ownership of cash-flowing commercial properties with truly zero landlord responsibilities.

Operating remotely with a tech-driven platform, we outpace traditional brokers with faster execution, better terms, and institutional-grade processes. Our investments range from $2M–$25M, and we've experienced 200–300% YOY growth with over $350M in transactional value expected this year.

We're building an elite team to match our ambitions.
