The Value of Real Estate Consulting for Investors, Developers & Businesses Regardless of Experience

The Value of Real Estate Consulting for Investors, Developers & Businesses Regardless of Experience //

The real estate industry has evolved into a series of disjointed functions, and it's full of professionals with siloed expertise.

Real estate agents, developers, engineers, architects, lenders, and attorneys all have their specific expertise - so they'll try to sell you on their specific services because it's an incentive structure they've created and that's how they get paid.

But success in real estate is much more nuanced than any one of those specific services in a vacuum.

As an investor, you need to weigh investment and return parameters against operations, financing, ownership, and tax considerations. As a small business owner, you need to consider buying vs. leasing commercial real estate, or even ground-up development or a build-to-suit as options, and the implications to your business's strategy and bottom line. And as a developer, you're concerned about aligning your objectives against macro and micro-economic influences that could derail a project and maximizing a site's yield.

Real estate consulting offers a single profession that blends all these traditional disciplines - helping stakeholders make better-informed decisions and challenge traditional assumptions.

In this video, we discuss the importance of real estate consulting for investors, developers, and business owners regardless of experience level. We explore the role of a real estate consultant and the type of expertise a consultant brings to a real estate investment or development project, or businesses and their real estate decisions.
