Max Freedman is the Managing Partner of Sands Investment Group, where he leads the brokerage team and drives the company’s strategic growth.

Max joined Chris Sands as SIG’s first broker in 2009. Since then, Max has helped guide SIG’s expansion to a national powerhouse with $10+ billion in total sales volume across 48 states. In 2014, Max opened SIG’s Austin office where he continues to play a critical role in recruiting and developing rising agents. To date, he has closed 450+ transactions and has the track record and expertise to help tenants solve their capital needs and grow.

Max began his career in the restaurant industry. After culinary school, he discovered his true talent lay beyond the kitchen — providing equity and financing solutions to help restaurant operators scale. His early experience in structuring sale-leasebacks laid the groundwork for launching and expanding SIG’s institutional team, experts in finding creative financing solutions for early education, medical, industrial, and automotive tenants. 

A graduate of the University of Southern California with a degree in Business Administration, Max is known for his determination and ability to build lasting relationships. He takes the most pride in his leadership and loyalty, which have earned him the trust of his clients and the privilege of collaborating with such exceptional team members at SIG. 

Max’s love of food remains a constant. Each year, he tackles a cookbook challenge, cooking his way through an entire collection of recipes. This year, it’s Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook. Max lives in Austin with his wife and their daughter.
