Seattle Real Estate Investments

By continuously monitoring and assessing market conditions and trends for multi-family housing and commercial property in Seattle and the greater Puget Sound area, I can develop the most effective real estate investment strategies based on each client’s goals, needs and expectations. Not every investment opportunity is right for every investor, and not every seemingly golden opportunity is all that it may seem to be on the surface. Performing due diligence in understanding the markets and the unique position of my clients has resulted in consistently obtaining successful results.

Brokerage services for buyers and sellers:

Seller Representation

I provide sellers with up-to-date market research and analysis, property valuation, analyzing and recommending highest and best use, creating custom platforms for delivery of properties to the market, negotiating purchase and sale agreements and managing the sales process through closing.

Buyer Representation

I work with clients on all aspects of due diligence, estimating property values, measuring investment performance and potential, evaluating markets and opportunities and applying investor decision-making analysis to optimize investment returns.

Owner/User Representation

In addition to the Buyer and Seller Representation services noted above, my partners and I at REIS run comparative lease analysis, provide lease vs. purchase analysis, sale-leaseback analysis and lease buy-out analysis.

Analyzing and selecting the best investment property is the first challenge; after that, you need to manage your assets based on the reality of ever-evolving markets to achieve the best return. My services begin with the purchase process, but many of my clients continue to rely on my full-service approach to ensure that they are getting the greatest yield from their portfolio. I continually review financial performance during the hold period and perform frequent analyses to evaluate whether or not to invest in capital improvements, refinance, reposition, sell or continue to own without any changes. My partners at REIS and connections at real estate service companies throughout the Seattle and Puget Sound region create a strong, professional network that can benefit my clients in a wide range of areas from commercial lending to property management and tenant improvements. My commitment is to full service for all of my clients so that they add the greatest wealth to their portfolio.

Here are some of the ways I can help you make the right real estate investment choices:

Consider the Full Impact of the Business

As the owner of an investment property, it’s important to consider how that business operates and what your role should be. Everything from evicting tenants to re-investing in the property needs to be considered. It’s better to plan ahead than be caught unprepared.

Evaluate Cash Flow

Negative cash flow will turn your golden opportunity into a nightmare. I’ll help you evaluate the numbers objectively so that you don’t get caught in a negative cash flow situation.

Professional Services Contacts

Protecting your real estate investment is another key area that you need to consider. Your liability can include everything from parking areas to plumbing, so teaming up with an insurance agent who understands the needs of a commercial property is essential. I work with professionals in a number of critical areas, such as insurance and legal services, who can help you. And if you decide to make improvements to maximize your return, the project may well require working with architects, contractors and city planning departments; I can help connect you to professionals who can get the job done right.

Help Determine Rental Policies and Rates

To make the most of your real-estate investment, you need to set your rents at market value. At the same time, you have to reduce vacancies. I’ll research the market and help you settle on a fair rent structure that will keep your property in the black.

Market Analysis And Evaluating Your Investment

My commitment to my clients doesn’t end once they get the keys. I’ll meet with you every year to reevaluate the investment and your needs. We’ll look at the property in light of the current market and discuss ways to improve its performance or whether the time is right to sell.
