Paul Richards Named Successor

DALLAS, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, L.P. (“NREA” and together with its affiliates “NexPoint”), announced today that Brian Mitts is stepping away from his day-to-day role at NexPoint and resigning from all positions with NexPoint, including Chief Financial Officer, effective December 31, 2024. NREA has named Paul Richards as his successor.

“Brian has been an invaluable member of the leadership team who played an integral role in growing the NexPoint real estate platform into what it is today,” said Matthew McGraner, NREA Chief Investment Officer. “On behalf of the entire NexPoint team, I want to thank Brian for his years of service to the firm and his help positioning NexPoint for the future as we continue that growth.”

Mitts was involved in NexPoint’s founding in 2012. In the more than 12 years he spent at the firm, Mitts helped NexPoint list several public REITs and grow the real estate business into a multibillion-dollar platform operating across asset classes and property sectors. He will be stepping down from his officer roles at all NREA-advised entities and their respective subsidiaries.  

“It has been a privilege to be a part of building the NexPoint real estate business,” said Mitts. “I am grateful for the chance to serve alongside such a strong, dynamic team for years, who are well-equipped to capture the significant opportunities ahead for the business. I look forward to working with Paul and the rest of the NexPoint leadership team to ensure a smooth transition.”

Mitts will remain on through the end of the year to support the transition, including through Nareit’s REITworld: Annual Conference.  Following his departure from NexPoint, Mitts will continue to serve in his current board roles.

Richards has been at the firm for over 10 years, serving in key leadership positions for multiple public REITs. With significant capital markets and financing experience, he has executed on more than $4 billion in debt financings across the real estate platform advised by NexPoint and its affiliates and has been instrumental in a range of equity offerings, special situations, and other capital markets initiatives totaling over $3 billion and spanning multiple real estate sectors.

“Paul has clearly demonstrated his qualifications for this role, playing a major part in NexPoint’s most significant financing and capital markets transactions throughout the last several years,” said McGraner. “We are glad to have him elevated across the organization and continue this work in a broader leadership role.”
