Marketplace Ministry: How a real estate broker instills a sense of service in his employees

“Chuck Mitchell’s First Capital Property Group has handled multimillion-dollar real estate transactions, leased millions of square feet of commercial space and acted as a court-appointed receiver for Central Florida commercial properties brought low by the Great Recession. Yer none of this success originated with Mitchell’s grand plan.

After concluding his six-year enlistment int he U.S. Navy, he just needed a job. He found one after connecting with Patrick Morley, the real estate developer whose best-selling book The Man int he mirror launched Morley’s full-time ministry.

“Can you lease office space?” Morley asked.

“Pat, I’m a naval officer,” Mitchell replied. “I can do anything.”

“I had no idea what leasing office space was about,’ Mitchell recalls. ” But he said, “Come on in, and we’ll get you interviewed.”

Soon, the former lieutenant had become a leasing agent, which opened the door to a career in commercial real estate. Later, corporate downsizing created the opportunity to organize First Capital along with a partner. In 2006, Mitchell bought out his partner, who was older and at a different stage of his life.

Today, Mitchell is preparing his exit strategy, even though it won’t play out for at least five more years. The father of three wants to pass on more than contracts and holdings, though. ”
