delivering the CLIent experience you deserve
Understanding Your Needs
It all starts with our commitment to listening to understand. Understanding the results you are looking for and timeline you need is the first step to delivering it. We take the time to listen to you and understand what your goals and motivations are, and what your preferences are for communication, offer negotiation, and marketing. This understanding becomes our North Star in advocacy.
Transparent Communication
Like any relationship, transparent communication plays an integral role in getting things done. We also know that you have many responsibilities competing for your attention, so we take the time to learn your preferences for communication and provide relevant updates the way you want to be communicated with so you are always aware of where things stand.
Data Driven Decision Making
We know that market research drives decision-making in real estate, and we provide you with ongoing access to market and submarket analytics, reports, and updates to gauge competitiveness within the market.
Protecting Confidential Matters
When keeping information confidential is the instruction, we employ an Access & Non-Disclosure Agreement, as well as screen, qualify, and assess prospective buyers and tenants for intended use, financial qualifications, and ability to commit to a transaction before providing access to the property and other confidential information.
Prioritizing Health, Safety & Security
Above all, we make every effort to preserve the health, safety, and security of our clients, their property, and their other tenants’ quiet enjoyment. This includes protocols in place for showing the property, as well as routine property checkups for vacant properties.
Always Your Decision
And of course, as your representative, we are but the pen in your hand. While our guidance is designed with your best interest in mind, it is always your choice how best to go forward.

our approach to underwriting investments
"It’s easy to be taken in by 2-dimensional investment metrics written on the back of a napkin. But the exercise of underwriting is really about looking at all of the angles and constructing a 4D context. To make the best investment decisions, you need to have as clear an image of what the investment really is, how it will perform over a period of time, and how the return looks under different acquisition and operational scenarios. The resolution of those images depends on the confidence we have in our assumptions and our ability to forecast using data and critical thinking. And in the end, the prices our clients can justify depend on the clarity of our vision: the easier it is to see the path to the upside, the more competitive we can be; and the fuzzier the image, the bigger the risk premium needs to be" — Mark Ehlers
