LUIS PIÑA
Founder, Accent Commercial Real Estate
Luis Piña, born in Mexico City, Mexico, has been a Dallas resident since 1989. With more than 25 years of experience as a licensed real estate broker, Luis has built a distinguished career in commercial real estate, specializing in the redevelopment of distressed shopping centers and historic downtown properties dating back to the early 1900s.
Throughout his career, Luis has played a pivotal role in revitalizing retail corridors by attracting and securing strong anchor tenants and community-driven brands. His work includes early leasing and representation for recognized names such as La Michoacana Meat Market, Jaime Barrón, Fred Loya Insurance, and Taquerías El Paisa, helping transform underperforming properties into thriving commercial destinations.
A key component of Luis’s success is his deep understanding of multicultural retail markets across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

In addition to brokerage and consulting, Luis is actively involved in acquiring and repositioning investment properties. His approach is rooted in a disciplined, full-cycle strategy—acquire, reposition, stabilize, and exit—allowing him to unlock value and deliver strong returns.
