Services

BUYERS​

​We have hundreds of conversations per month with potential sellers in the area. By providing us with clearly defined purchase parameters and proof of capability, we will alert you to off-market opportunities when they arise.​

If you are new to investing in Cincinnati/Dayton multifamily, give us a call. We can help you prepare and put your best foot forward to ultimately win the deal.​

PROPERTY OWNERS​

Net operating income (NOI) is the metric upon which all valuations are based. As your advisory partner, we compare and analyze your income and expenses against market-derived statistics to identify areas of improvement. We stay abreast of the newest technologies, operational best practices and best-in-class service providers to maximize NOI and subsequently, property value.​

SELLERS​

When it’s time to sell, we will support you every step of the way. Before the sale, we analyze the property for ways to position it in the best light. Simple things like improving curb appeal and organizing books and records in a professional format, can go a long way in maximizing your sale proceeds. We then create a competitive market for the property by leveraging our international network of qualified buyers. Once under contract, we oversee due diligence to ensure the transaction stays on track. ​
