A native son of Birmingham and graduate of Samford University with a degree in finance, Wesley R. Cline has honed his talents as a broker in the years since he first caught the real estate bug in 1980. During college, he got his real estate license and interned at a residential real estate company – eventually brokering residential properties in new home subdivisions. Wes found himself drawn to the multi-faceted property types and the logical approach to buying and selling of commercial real estate – always viewing each project through the lens of a financial analyst. While he considers retail properties to be his strong suit, office comes in as a close second, followed by industrial. He also names investment properties and site selection among his special talents. In 2016, he brought those talents to Hydinger Stewart & Chew Commercial Properties. In addition to his role as broker, Wesley also serves as a partner in HSC’s property management division. Among his favorite projects was the disposition of surplus real estate for Cobb Theatres – representing 18 properties that the company no longer wanted. Over the course of two years, he negotiated the way to a complete dissolution of the properties. The silver lining of this project was that it taught Wes more about what not to agree to in a lease, which has led him to become a much better negotiator for new product. HSC clients find him to be reliable and determined to meet their needs, benefitting greatly from his decades of experience.
