Investment Property Overview
Our team has assisted numerous clients in the acquisition and disposition of properties. Our firm has several unique qualifications and tools to assist clients in the intricacies of the sale/purchase of commercial real estate.

Financial Analysis

We employ several financial modeling tools to assist our brokers and clients in the decision making process. From a new development or disposition basis we use several customized Excel spreadsheets that have been developed by the Principals of REA to analyze cost/value parameters.

For larger properties marketed more on a national/regional basis and for properties with numerous tenants, we find Argus is the best national standard for analysis. We have experienced personnel who are trained in the nuances of loading and analyzing data in the Argus formats.

Many times decisions are based on Leasing assumptions that impact values both present and future. For comparison of lease assumptions, we prefer using ProCalc as a modeling tool. This software can compare multiple leases and provide buy/sell information analysis.

For properties involving a development component, we use Plan Ease which we find is a better modeling tool along with some company written spread sheets.

Regardless of the assignment, we have financial modeling tools to assist with the process.

Leasing Assistance/ Analysis

Value is added and lost in investment property as fluctuations in the Rent Roll occur. One of the primary focuses of Real Estate Advisors is the leasing process We can abstract and analyze existing leases and make projections for future rental and leasing assumptions within the market based on extensive background.

In many past instances, we have worked with an owner to reposition their rent roll whereby increasing the potential sale price. A property with a below market occupancy may need to identify and close new Tenants while restructuring terms on existing Tenant leases. On a sale lease back situation, a client may need advice in structuring their lease to realize the best sale price while not tying the business to an unrealistic lease commitment.

Property Analysis - "Due Diligence"

Potential buyers or sellers may need help in the coordination of property analysis to fully examine a site for potential structural, environmental or legal problems. With our years of experience in the market we can assist with the selection of proven vendors to complete inspections and assist with the coordination of such work. From coordinating the collection of Estoppel Certificates to providing access to vendors for required inspections, we can assist clients in better understanding the condition of their potential sale or acquisition.

Financing

We have relationships with a number of lenders and mortgage brokers with an understanding of who can provide lending alternatives on various types and sizes of purchases. From conventional to conduit to SBA loans, we can assist with making the introductions to the lending community and then facilitate the required "paper flow" to complete the process.
