Jay Banks followed in his family’s tradition of public service and journalism and enjoyed a successful career as a political consultant, lobbyist, public affairs | public relations specialist, and real estate association executive. Jay elected to enter the commercial | corporate real estate business full-time in 1984. Taking a sabbatical in the early nineties to pursue a medical degree, he determined that the direction of healthcare was not favorable to the individual practitioner, so he returned to the real estate business in the mid nineties to concentrate on senior housing and post-acute care. His clients included both private and publicly held health care corporations. In 1996, he moved to Nashville to assume an in-house real estate position with a major publicly held senior housing provider and was responsible for site selection, contract negotiation, due diligence and entitlements for their national roll out of assisted living facilities. Additionally, he was responsible for disposition of excess land. In 2001, he was asked to form the company’s risk management and quality improvement department. In this role he consolidated part-time functions into a full-time focus and developed standardized policies and procedures, including skilled nursing facilities, and litigation management. Jay later assumed an in-house real estate acquisitions position with another publicly held senior housing provider based in Dallas.

In 2010, he elected to join his wife, Helen Mendiola Banks, in the family investment consulting business and started the senior housing group of the company, utilizing the industry contacts he had developed over his fifteen plus years in the business. He has been fortunate to have been mentored by leading executives within the senior housing sector and maintains those relationships today.

With unique experience and background in public affairs, corporate commercial real estate and risk management he has proven to be a valuable resource for those companies seeking seasoned advice and assistance with site selection, due diligence, entitlements, acquisition and disposition of assets to align with corporate objectives. Jay’s experience has proven valuable as the Chief Risk Officer in setting up and managing policies and procedures, agreements, contracts for corporate, legal, financial and tax matters.
