Michael Blount Jr., Managing Broker

With more than 20 years of experience in real estate and development, Michael has represented clients across industrial, land, and retail asset classes throughout Texas.

He is known for applying location-based analysis, pricing discipline, and market data to inform client decisions—particularly where site dynamics, access, and timing materially affect outcomes. His advisory work often incorporates mapping, forecasting, and drive-time analysis to support operational efficiency and long-term planning.
A native Houstonian, Michael holds a degree in Business Management and Marketing from the University of Houston.

Our Approach
Panoptic Realty Group was founded on the belief that commercial real estate decisions are best made with accurate information, local market insight, and experienced judgment.
We operate as a senior-led firm. Every assignment is handled directly, without handoffs or layers, allowing for clear communication and accountability throughout the transaction process.
Our work emphasizes preparation over promotion and outcomes over activity.
WHY “PANOPTIC”
The name Panoptic reflects our approach to real estate advisory.
Panoptic pan−op−tic: considering all parts or elements; all-inclusive.
We evaluate assets, markets, and opportunities holistically—considering pricing, timing, location dynamics, and client objectives to inform better decisions.
Experience & Focus
Our experience spans a range of commercial real estate assignments, including brokerage, advisory, and market analysis work across Houston-area submarkets.
We focus primarily on commercial real estate. Private residential advisory services are offered separately on a limited basis for select clients and opportunities.
A Disciplined, Intentional Practice
Panoptic Realty Group is intentionally small by design. This allows us to remain selective, responsive, and deeply involved in every assignment we accept.
We do not operate as a volume-driven brokerage. We engage where we believe our experience, market knowledge, and execution can meaningfully impact outcomes.
Let’s Talk Strategy
Whether you are evaluating a commercial transaction or seeking residential advisory insight, we welcome thoughtful conversations.
