Who We Are & Value Proposition
We operate as a client-side advisory: fewer listings, deeper research. Each mandate starts with a quantified brief—budget bands, risk tolerance, rental ambition, expected holding period, and lifestyle criteria (schools, commute, coastline, culture). We then translate these into micro-market options with comparable sales, cap-rate snapshots and renovation cost ranges. Negotiations are documented and benchmarked against recent transactions.
Operating Principles
- ✅Buyer-first representation and conflict-free guidance
- ✅Evidence-based pricing: comps, yields, renovation scope
- ✅Transparent cost sheets and milestone reporting
- ✅After-sales stewardship: utilities, HOA, rental onboarding
