About Me

Cary Clarke is a seasoned real estate developer and construction professional with over 45 years of hands-on experience spanning residential and commercial development. Over the course of his career, Cary has built and developed more than $100 million in residential communities and $112 million in commercial properties, earning a reputation for disciplined execution, integrity, and long-term thinking.

Unlike many sponsors who operate primarily from spreadsheets, Cary’s Unfair Advantage is that he comes from the field. He began walking construction sites at a young age, developing a deep respect for the craft, the people, and the process behind building lasting communities. That early exposure shaped a career rooted in practical expertise, risk awareness, and accountability—principles that still guide every project today.

Cary is known for a protect-first mindset, conservative underwriting, and transparent communication with investors. He believes capital should be treated with the same care as if it were his own, and he structures opportunities to align incentives, reduce downside exposure, and deliver predictable outcomes across market cycles. This disciplined approach has allowed him to navigate multiple economic environments while maintaining trust and consistency with partners.

More than a developer, Cary sees real estate as a calling—an opportunity to create environments where people can live, work, and thrive. His projects reflect a commitment to thoughtful planning, resilient execution, and community impact, not just short-term returns. 

Today, Cary focuses on partnering with aligned investors who value integrity, clarity, and experience over hype. His legacy is visible in the communities he has built and the long-term relationships he continues to steward—proof that doing the right thing, the right way, still works.
