About

We are a full service commercial real estate firm that serves as an advisor and services provider for clients who are owners and/or occupiers of space — or entities who have a financial interest in space.

Our clients include colleges and universities, healthcare systems, investors, financial institutions, not-for-profits, retailers, even municipalities — all of whom have real estate issues requiring expertise and guidance and, just as importantly, the necessary real estate services required to achieve their objectives. Whether it’s selling, leasing, buying, retrofitting, financing, relocating, expanding or managing; we advise our clients relative to a strategy to achieve their goals and we assume responsibility to successfully implement that strategy.

To best serve our clients, we have invested in the technological resources, market research and specialized human talent to succeed. Our organization is responsive and resourceful and has developed the necessary experience, expertise, and creativity to maximize the value of each real estate transaction.
