History and Background
Jeffrey Gitt
Founder/Managing Broker
Jeffery Gitt started speculating with homes in St. Louis, guided by
his father and uncle at Gitt & Sons Real Estate, a company that was started by his grandfather some 50 years earlier. Initially expanding to apartments, Jeff earned over a million dollars by the age 30 from purchasing real estate cheaply, adding value and then re-selling it. Back in the 1970's, that was a large amount of money to earn! Continuing this success, he started an apartment locating business called Apartment Cinema (the first of its kind), which used a revolutionary method for helping landlords fill their vacancies. Potential renters would come to Apartment Cinema, where photos and other details of many apartments complexes in St. Louis were able to be seen all in one location. They no longer had to spend an entire Sunday afternoon going all over St. Louis to look.
After buying and selling apartments for years (15) Jeff decided to go into commercial real estate where he could again use his ability to find a good undervalued deal, add value and make it profitable. Years later he started 1031-NNN-properties, specializing in triple and double net deals along with 1031 exchanges that blossomed into the present Westwood Net Lease Advisors LLC. Westwood is now a prominent 1031 triple net website with immense popularity related to commercial real estate transactions. The team has completed over a billion dollars of transactions in the past few years, in fact recently Westwood completed a $90M 1031 trade for a client!
Jeff has been the past owner and operator of over 3 million sq. ft. of different asset groups from office, warehouse, airport parking lots, apartments, strip centers, as well as single and double net retail properties. He has also developed numerous commercial buildings. In other words...Jeff has had experience in almost everything to do with commercial real estate from buying, leasing, selling and developing. Not to mention finding equity partners for larger deals.
And now, at age 73, Jeff has decided to retire from Westwood. He thought about retiring from real estate altogether, but knew he would be bored and restless. As he loves what he does, he instead decided to start his own smaller boutique firm, Gitt Realty Service, LLC., guiding investors, sellers and independent brokers through real estate transactions. With his vast experience and his love of talking to people around the country and all over the world, Jeff can find solutions for every commercial real estate problem. And with off market deals, a multitude of relationships and alternative strategies at his fingertips, Jeff is the one who can help you with any real estate from start to finish.

Susan Gitt
Brokerage and Sales
Susan Gitt graduated from the University of Missouri St. Louis with a degree in Special Education in 1973, working in the school system for 6 years. She continued with other careers that included being co-owner of Horns Haberdashery, a fine traditional men's and women's clothier in her hometown of Clayton, Mo. for 11 years. Next up, she became the Ralph Lauren eyewear rep for the State of Mo., where during her 3 years tenure she became the top sales person for the United States territory. She went to a management position in her family business, Schultz Company, which manufactured and sold lawn and garden products around the world. As that company sold out to United Industries in 2000, she shortly retired but retirement was not for her. As her husband was involved in all aspects of commercial real estate since graduating from college, he saw the need in 2000 to add an arm to his business focusing primarily on triple net properties. It was the challenge of something new and exciting that brought Susan back into the work place where she became involved in commercial real estate, co-founding Westwood Net Lease Advisors with her husband, Jeff Gitt, helping clients buy and sell triple net properties around the country. It was during that time that Westwood became one of the largest boutique 1031 exchange firms in the industry. In 2008, Susan got her series 63 and series 22 securities licenses so that she was able to further help 1031 clients as well as cash investors. She continues to work on the securities side through Great Point Capital Advisors LLC and enjoys finding solutions for her clients. She has tremendous patience, educates clients along the way and delivers various solutions that stress preservation of capital along with steady income and possible future growth. All of this has led to clients referring Susan of their family and friends as well as then reinvesting into other products. Susan makes friends wherever she goes! she has since retired from Westwood and joined Gitt Realty Services LLC to resume her normal real estate practice as well as the security business.
