SAN ANTONIO – Transwestern Real Estate Services (TRS) announces the expansion of its brokerage team with the addition of Yesenia Smith, a 12-year veteran of the firm. Providing landlord and tenant representation services with a focus on office and medical office assets, Smith will work under the guidance of San Antonio City Leader Leah Gallagher.

“I am excited to welcome Yesenia to our team of talented leasing and sales agents.

Later, as National Director of Learning & Development, she spearheaded Transwestern's learning and development strategies, collaborating with all service lines and support functions across the country.

“Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of serving in multiple support roles, refining my skills and providing invaluable insights into local market dynamics,” said Smith. “It is my privilege to serve our clients in this new capacity, leveraging the extensive resources available through our national platform in the city that I am proud to call home.”

The recipient of numerous industry accolades, Smith is deeply involved in Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW), serving on the International Network Foundation’s Board of Directors in 2022-2023, on the Member Education Committee in 2021 and as San Antonio President in 2020. Among her time dedicated to CREW, she has also been a trusted market analyst and presenter for CCIM, Financial Women in Texas, IREM, NAWBO, RECSA, SMPS and YCRAN.
