About New South Commercial

John Mudgett

John Mudgett

President | Principal Founder

John Mudgett is the founding partner at New South Commercial, bringing over 18 years of brokerage and investment expertise to every transaction. Known for his vision, creativity, and unconventional problem-solving, John delivers real value and strategic insights to clients navigating complex commercial real estate sales and lease transactions.

Prior to launching New South, John held senior roles at Foundry Commercial, Turton Commercial, and Madison Partners, earning numerous top-producer awards and closing over $875 million in transactions. His early career in West Los Angeles exposed him to world-class brokers and provided the foundation for representing startups and tech firms in Silicon Beach. His brokerage in Sacramento gave him keen insights into adaptive re-use investment projects and infill developments. In Nashville, John was on the Office Agency team and focused on adding value to each transaction through his background in Office leasing and Tenant Representation. Over the years, John has collaborated with entrepreneurs, investors, and institutions, working with clients ranging from institutional giants like Blackstone and Equity Office to local municipalities including Metro Nashville and City of Sacramento to local business owners and investors.
 
During the Great Recession, John co-founded Pacific Crest Partners, repositioning distressed assets. This experience further honed his ability to turn challenges into opportunities and offer advisory services in leasing, acquisitions, and investment strategy.

John lives in Brentwood, Tennessee, with his wife Savannah and their two children. When not helping clients, he enjoys spending time with his family, coaching youth sports, trail running, reading, writing, and leading a men’s group at Church of the City.

"John Mudgett negotiated the sale of a Victorian Office building which was owned by three former business partners who could not agree on anything. He worked with all three parties for over 4-years, earned their trust of him and was able to negotiate the sale to just one of the former partners, with the other two being pleased they were out from underneath the property. Mr. Mudgett could not have worked harder, provided more learned advice, and maintained patience when the partners had none. He was always professional, consistent and knowledgable of the real estate market during his 4-year effort the see the property sell and the owners pleased. I'd recommend Mr. Mudgett as your commercial broker."

"John Mudgett is fantastic! Our nonprofit, Food Literacy Center, needed a new location in a narrow timeframe with some very specific niche needs, and he found us the perfect new home in our price range! He went the extra mile to confirm zoning with the city, coordinated the specifics of our contract, and advised us where we needed guidance. He's patient, professional and knows his business. I felt confident that we were in good hands with John and highly recommend him."
