We've Run the Business. That's Why We're Better at the Deal.
STAX is the only brokerage built by someone who's owned and operated a dozen gas stations. Whether you're selling your station or buying one as an investment, you're working with someone who knows every detail of the business.
250+ gas stations sold & leased · $525M+ in transaction volume · schedule a call
Most brokers read the spreadsheet. We've lived the P&L.
STAX founder Michael Salafia served as CEO of a multi-location gas station operating company — a dozen sites with c-stores. That means we evaluate your deal the way an owner would — gallonage, margin, brand contracts, environmental exposure — not just the cap rate.
Operator's Eye
We catch what spreadsheet brokers miss. We've run the business across a dozen locations — so we evaluate deals the way an operator would.
Principal Access
No associates, no handoffs. You work directly with the person who closes your deal, from first call to final signature.
Tax Strategy Built In
We structure deals around bonus depreciation, cost segregation, and 1031 exchanges. The tax play isn't an afterthought — it's part of the deal from day one.
Both Sides of the Counter
We sell sites to operators AND structure NNN deals for passive investors. That dual network means better matches and faster closes.
Three types of clients. One broker who gets all three.
Selling Your Station?
You built this business. We'll make sure you're not leaving money on the table. We price based on the full picture — gallonage, margin, brand, location — not just the cap rate.

Let's talk growth →Why gas stations are the smartest NNN play right now
Gas stations and c-stores combine recession-resistant income with the most aggressive tax benefits in commercial real estate. Here's why investors are paying attention.
100% Bonus Depreciation
Cost segregation on gas station improvements means investors can write off nearly the entire purchase price in Year 1. No other NNN asset class offers this.
Recession-Resistant Demand
People still need gas when the economy contracts. Gas stations and c-stores are essential infrastructure — not discretionary retail.
Long-Term NNN Leases
National brands like Shell, Chevron, and Circle K typically sign 10-25 year leases with built-in escalations. Predictable, bond-like income.
Income-Tax-Free States
We focus on Florida, Texas, Nevada, and Tennessee — states with no income tax, which means the depreciation benefits go even further.
