From owning a few rental properties in the 1970s, Lineberry Properties, Inc. has grown into a successful, multi-faceted real estate investment company dedicated to customer service and highly-principled business practices.

Throughout its history, Lineberry Properties has created consistent equity and stability in its real estate holdings, generating an impressive return on investment while weathering volatile market conditions with uncanny foresight.

The company originally began when its founder, Dewey Lineberry, began acquiring land and constructing commercial buildings to lease to small businesses in Middle Tennessee. In the following decade, he purchased and developed an array of small commercial and industrial properties as well as single-family residential homes and duplexes.

Mr. Lineberry's son, Mark, joined the firm in the mid-1980s, and together they took advantage of unprecedented market conditions by acquiring larger-scale properties. Within just a few years, the company tripled in size and continues to steadily increase its holdings. All the while, the company has maintained the strategy of acquiring, converting, improving or preserving properties to enhance future growth and attain maximum potential.

More recently, the company has expanded into select marketplaces on the national scene, including Florida, Kentucky, and Nevada. By currently focusing on single-tenant retail properties in high-profile locations, the company has earned the status of a preferred developer for Outback Steakhouse, Inc. which encompasses Carrabba's, Bonefish, Outback, Cheesburger in Paradise, Leroy Selmon's, Roy's & Flemings and maintains relationships with Starbucks, Brinker International, Advance Auto, Dollar General and many other retailers.

Dewey Lineberry

Founder and President

 

Nearly forty years ago, Dewey Lineberry’s keen business sense and savvy eye for real estate and rental properties led to the founding of Lineberry Properties, which eventually became incorporated in 1979. However, the inspiration and perspiration for the company began several years prior, when Dewey owned and operated Lineberry’s Clothing Store, growing it into a prominent Middle Tennessee retail chain.

After purchasing the property to build his first retail store, he continued with relentless drive and intuitive foresight to expand his commercial and residential real estate holdings throughout the area. His core values of integrity, prudence and hard work remain a fundamental cornerstone of the company. Today with his son, Mark, Mr. Lineberry continues to oversee the expansion of the company as it broadens its scope and geographic foothold in select locations across the nation.

Executive Vice President

 

Since the mid-1980s, Mark Lineberry has played an active role in the management of Lineberry Properties. Through his various commercial projects, he has developed and maintains tenant relationships with leading nationally-recognized retailers, restauranteurs, and financial institutions.

Mr. Lineberry received his Doctorate of Jurisprudence in 1996, after earning his Bachelor of Arts degree from Cumberland University. As a licensed attorney with more than two decades of experience in commercial real estate development, his vision and legal expertise have played a pivotal role in expanding the firm’s real estate portfolio throughout the country. With a focus on real estate law, he is proficient in orchestrating the most complex real estate transactions.
