A native Texan, Hap Baggett has owned, managed, marketed and developed land throughout the state for 35 years. He is the owner and President of Synergy Properties Group, Ltd., a 15-year old land development and brokerage firm located in Fort Worth. Synergy’s eight associates bring over 150 years combined experience in retail, industrial, single/multi-family housing, and commercial/medical office development.

Hap has been the second largest land developer in northern Tarrant County, developing over 3,500 acres of land in North Fort Worth and in the Alliance Corridor in the past 10 years. Previously, as Vice President of Development with Beck Properties, Hap led the acquisition and subsequent master plan coordination for the long-term development of Trophy Club. Prior to Synergy in the early 1980's, Hap served as Vice President of Leasing in the Plaza of America's Tower complex and President of Craig Development. He was active in the growing real estate market in Dallas, including various projects in North Dallas and McKinney, which included projects such as Eldorado Country Club and Stonebridge Ranch.

With Hap's guidance and direction, Synergy has designed and marketed land to national and regional developers including DR Horton, Centex, Lennar, Margaux Development, Regency, Retail Connection, Direct Development, and Cypress Development. In the past two years, Synergy has bought and sold for its own accounts in excess of $110 million of land in Tarrant County alone. The largest transaction in 2005 was 405 acres sold from Synergy to The State of Texas for the benefit of the Permanent School Fund for $43 million. Synergy now represents the Permanent School Fund and its vertical developer, Ridge Property Trust of Chicago, in the resale and development of this mixed-use commercial and industrial property.

In 2007, Synergy Properties Group is currently working over sixty development and brokerage projects across Texas, with a value in excess of $250 million dollar. One of the most notable of these projects is the 162 acre Mason Heights redevelopment in Southeast Fort Worth, Texas. It is anticipated that this project in conjunction with the adjoining Sierra Vista project will result in one of the most successful Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) districts in the country.
