Welcome to Butler Evans Real Estate and Butler Evans Education — where experience, analysis, and integrity drive exceptional results.



 

Denise Evans, JD, CCIM

Real estate isn’t just transactions — it’s strategy. My work centers on helping clients build, protect, and maximize real estate wealth with clarity, confidence, and compliance. Whether you’re a first-time investor or a seasoned developer, I tailor guidance to your goals.

I’m Denise Evans, the “Evans” behind the name. With over 25 years in commercial real estate brokerage, consulting, and development, I’ve guided clients through every facet of the business — from investment strategy and property acquisition or sales to working with lenders, shepherding closings to avoid obstacles and then property repositioning and upgrades to increase value.
