:: Real Estate-Testing & Evaluation

Once considered a passive asset, real estate is now recognized as a dynamic medium, requiring specialist skills and techniques to maximize utility and economic returns, especially in a rapidly developing real estate market where such skills are increasingly demanded by property owners.

The objective of our property management team is always the same: to maximize value. This applies both to enhancing the long term value as well as efficient day to day management for the occupier. Our services include the implementation of management systems and procedures, rent and service charge collection, and negotiation and monitoring of maintenance contracts.

Our real estate consultants help clients maximize return on real estate investments and improve cash flow.

We work in close ties with our clients to define their needs in a first approach and then to develop, structure and negotiate real estate and financing strategies in their best interest.

Our consultants understand that decisions made early in the process regarding ownership and financing have far reaching impact. Whether our clients own or lease, we help them focus on increasing portfolio flexibility so they can maximize return on every real estate investment dollar and improve cash flow.

Through our extensive work in real estate, property and capital market forecasting, we have always focused on the future in developing current strategies for our clients.

We serve large institutional clients as well as small entrepreneurial firms pursuing growth and increased profitability. We also have a tailor-made service for individuals.

Working in collaboration with senior executives and their staff, we deliver our services through many mediums including strategic management retreats, customized research, diagnostic assessments of operational units, independent reviews of plans and strategies, or a comprehensive approach including research, analysis, evaluation of alternative strategies, plan formulation and development. Our teams are kept small both to insure confidentiality and control, but also to ensure the focused attention of the senior principals of our firm on our clients.
