Tyler Ellinger serves as Vice President – Investment Advisor at Sands Investment Group, where he leads the Travel Center/Truck Stop team. With a Master’s in Business Administration and a background as a Certified Public Accountant, Tyler transitioned from accounting in 2012 to pursue a successful career in commercial real estate, initially working at Marcus & Millichap’s Salt Lake City office. There, he earned the Rookie of the Year designation and was recognized as one of Utah’s top investment brokers by the Utah CCIM Chapter in 2016.

Tyler began his real estate career specializing in single-tenant net lease (STNL) convenience store properties, representing brands like 7-Eleven, Circle K, Maverik, and Kum & Go. After joining Sands Investment Group’s Austin office in December 2017, Tyler continued focusing on STNL assets before shifting his attention in 2020 to working almost exclusively with convenience store and travel center operators. His team helps fund operators’ growth through sale-leaseback transactions, enabling them to compete effectively against large operators in the market.

Tyler’s mission is to provide his clients with unmatched service, market insights, and financial analysis to help them achieve their investment and growth goals. With a proven track record in deal-making, 1031 exchanges, and maximizing returns, Tyler leverages his strong negotiation, valuation, and marketing skills to deliver optimal results. Passionate about exceeding client expectations, Tyler is dedicated to driving success for operators and investors alike.
