About Ryan Peoples

Shop Owner First. Broker Because of It.

Born and raised in Raleigh. I’m a commercial real estate broker with Maverick Partners and the third generation owner of Peoples Tire & Auto. Most people call me Peeps.

Ryan Peoples, commercial real estate broker in Raleigh
The short version

Three Generations, One Shop

My grandfather, Darrell Peoples, opened Peoples Tire & Auto in Raleigh in 1964. My dad took it over in 1998, and I took it over in 2018. I still own it.

Owning a shop means dealing with everything a commercial property can throw at you: zoning, flood maps, parking, taxes, insurance, and what the place would be worth if you ever sold. I got into brokerage because I was already living those questions as an owner.

Today I help owners, investors, and tenants buy, sell, and lease commercial property across the Triangle. Automotive real estate is what I know best, and I work every other property type too.

Numbers Before Opinions

Every price I give you comes with the comps behind it, so you can check my work.

Straight Answers

If now is the wrong time to sell, or a deal doesn’t pencil, I’ll tell you.

You Get Me

I answer my own phone and do my own research. You won’t get handed off.

An Owner’s Eye

I make payroll and pay property taxes too. I look at your building as someone who has to live with one.
