Commercial Real Estate Services for Corporate Occupants
At Real Estate Strategies Corporation, we understand the critical role that real estate plays in the success of a private or publicly-held company and in tax-exempt organizations. That’s why, since 2002, we’ve been working with CFOs, management teams, and boards of companies and organizations to optimize their commercial real estate strategies. So, whether your company is planning to acquire an alternate or new facility, dispose of an existing facility, restructure its portfolio, prepare for a major M&A transaction, or if its considering a corporate restructure or turnaround, our commercial real estate advisory, transaction, and portfolio services are designed to help your company thrive.
Most real estate companies offer general real estate services to broad customer groups, including landlords, developers, investors, lenders, borrowers, sellers, buyers, tenants, sub-landlords, subtenants, and others. Larger real estate companies offer property management, facility management, specialty services, and many are real estate investors and landlords, themselves. Not only does this broad services approach create for likelihoods of conflicts of interest, but it frequently attracts generalist service providers to their companies. If your company is a developer, an investor, or a landlord, if you seek property management services, facility management services, or if you’re a lender…call the other guys, they offer general services and might be able to help you.
At Real Estate Strategies Corporation, we’re highly focused specialists. We do one thing, and we do it particularly well. We provide a single bundle of advisory, transaction, portfolio, and other services directed toward a single client type. We only advise corporate occupants on real estate matters concerning their occupancy, operations, and financial objectives. That’s it! That’s all we do!
Our clients hire us again and again and tell us we frequently exceed their objectives, drive real value for them, and that we’re good at doing that!
