ANGELA THOMAS
CO-FOUNDER | THE CONNECTION CONNOISSEUR
Angela’s been closing deals and leading with style for 20 years in commercial real estate — and she’s just getting started. From Student Council President to commuting daily to the University of Michigan so she could keep her internship hustle alive, her work ethic is unmatched. Known for her sharp instincts and polished approach, Angela brings both grace and grit to every negotiation. At AERES, she’s built a powerhouse book of business rooted in relationships, results, and relentless drive. When she’s not orchestrating deals, she’s feeding a full house — her husband, four kids, and whoever else shows up hungry.
ERICA DUNLAP
CO-FOUNDER | THE PLAYMAKER
From the soccer field to the deal table, Erica plays to win. An All-State athlete turned University of Michigan varsity player, she brings that same competitive edge to commercial real estate. With 16 years of experience spanning architecture, construction, consulting, and brokerage, she’s the ultimate utility player in the field — strategic, sharp, and tireless. As co-founder of AERES, Erica brings a multidisciplinary lens to every assignment, helping clients see possibilities others miss. A master multitasker, she thrives in chaos (it helps when you have three boys, two dogs, and one very well-maintained aquarium). Coaching deals or kids' sports, she shows up with grit and game.
MEGAN ZURVALEC
MANAGING DIRECTOR | THE ENFORCER OF ORDER
Megan is the calm in the storm — until it’s time to sweat. With a background in law enforcement and corporate real estate, she’s the one you want keeping deals (and people) in check. As the Managing Director of AERES, she keeps the team (and operations) running seamlessly – streamlining processes, strengthening client relationships, and continuing to add serious muscle to the team’s capabilities. When she’s not making deals happen, she’s making people work in her fitness classes. Megan loves efficiency, balance, and a sunny day on a boat with country music on blast.

We know your time is valuable, so we make every interaction count.
FROM THE INITIAL MEETING TO THE CLOSING OR SIGNED LEASE, WE TAILOR OUR APPROACH TO FIT YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS.
When you work with us, you’re not chasing updates or wondering what’s next. You’re informed, supported, and prioritized.
WE START
WE EXECUTE
By listening carefully, aligning on goals, and building a clear, actionable plan.
Communicating consistently, adjusting as needed, and staying proactive throughout the entire process.
We built this company on honesty, hustle, and a no-nonsense approach.
There are plenty of capable brokers out there, but what sets us apart is how we show up for our clients. We’re selective about who we work with because we’re all-in on every assignment we take. If it’s not the right fit, we’ll tell you upfront.
THAT LEVEL OF HONESTY BUILDS TRUST AND LASTING RELATIONSHIPS.
We don’t chase volume. We chase outcomes. Our clients trust us because we care deeply about getting it right, every detail, every time. Whether you’re a tenant, a buyer, or a property owner, we tailor our approach to your specific needs. We communicate clearly, set a strategy, and keep the process simple and focused. That’s how we operate, and it’s why we get so many referrals.
We’re not here to put on a show. We’re here to work hard, think strategically, and deliver results. Our passion drives us. Our reputation proves it. And we’re proud of what we’ve built.
