When do you need my consulting services?

You need my consulting services when:

  • your property management and leasing company is not meeting your expectations and financial returns;
  • you want to create a property management and leasing company to support your real estate activities or manage your properties;
  • you have commercial properties or mixed use developments that are underperforming;
  • you have a leasing problem that is robbing cash flow and value from your property.

Why should you use my services?

I have over 40 years experience serving as the CEO of property management and brokerage companies and departments of major developers. I started a commercial property management and brokerage company, operated it for 19 consecutive profitable years and sold it to a national public real estate company.

I developed and implemented the business and marketing and leasing plan for mixed use developments, shopping centers, enclosed malls, office buildings, medical office buildings, and apartments.
