Tom Oliver
Born and raised in Austin, Tom is a native central Texan who has witnessed Austin grow into the vibrant market that it is today. After graduating from Westlake High School, Tom attended Rhodes College on an academic and football scholarship. Tom earned a degree from Rhodes College in History, which provides him with valuable insight into the process of growing and developing businesses and organizations of all kinds. Tom began his career in the commercial real estate industry by working in the Industrial & Office Division at Marcus & Millichap’s Austin office, where he focused primarily on acquisitions and dispositions of industrial properties in Central Texas.
In 2023, Tom partnered with a colleague and longtime friend Tony Gulla to build ACRE One, a full-service real estate company committed to helping its clients grow and develop their businesses and real estate investments by working tirelessly to find innovative solutions to their specific real estate needs.
Tony Gulla
In the summer of 2008, Tony’s first internship was at Jerry Jones’ Blue Star Land development, where he assisted in managing several large developments in the Dallas Metro area. Interning at Blue Star provided Tony with insight into strategically investing in land as a long-term investment strategy and maximizing the land’s value through development. At the time, the housing crisis was beginning, and Blue Star was actively looking for acquisitions.
In the summer of 2009, Tony took an internship at the SkylesBayne Company in Austin, which specialized in strictly representing tenants. One year away from college graduation, Tony was offered a full-time position at the SkylesBayne Company. Upon his graduation from college, Tony accepted the offer and spent three years learning the tenant representation business and building his own book of business here in Austin. In 2013, Tony started ACRE One with a partner, focusing on representing tenants and identifying value opportunities in the Texas real estate market for their clients. Tony works with tenants, investors, and landowners ranging from large publicly traded corporations to locally owned successful business ventures to rural Texas ranch owners and buyers. Tony is proud of his growing client list, which operates in the office, industrial, retail, and land markets throughout the state of Texas, including Truluck’s, Sherwin Williams, KeyStaff, Inc., SK&P Insurance Services, and Big State Electric.
Tony is a native Austinite, attending Westlake High School before graduating from Southern Methodist University.
