Office, industrial, retail, land, investments, (investments include all categories including retail, apartments, mini-storage, etc.)
– Opinion of values
We can create an opinion on the value of client’s real estate. This is usually half the cost or less of an appraiser.
Consultative

Finance
– We can help clients determine financing alternatives and access both local and national funding sources.
– Strategic planning
Clients know their business, trends in their business and growth potential. We can look at their competition, their business model, their existing facility and determine what building (size, shape, height) best fits their operation.
– Budgeting
Does a different building, a new location, create savings after I consider move costs, disruptions, etc. Should I own or lease?
– Sale/leaseback
I currently own a facility. Is it financially smarter to lease versus own?
Construction
I would like to know whether I should renovate my existing facility, who should do the work, what is a fair price for the work or am I over investing in a declining asset? Should I design-build my project or use the “hard bid” process.
Construction Management
I need help selecting a contractor, architect, bank, attorney, technology firm, furniture company. Can someone with experience help me design an RFP or otherwise select the team I need?
Once I choose the team, should I hire an “owner’s representative” to make sure the contractor and subs are doing what they said they would (is asphalt actually 2” thick, is roof done correctly, etc.).
Workplace Strategies
I need to look at my office space. I’m interested in attracting employees. Is there a way to maximize use of space (minimize wasted space), make my workplace more productive, more enjoyable and still reduce office square feet? Who can help me through this process?
Lease Audit
I lease from a major landlord and my pass-throughs annually are the same. Is there any reason to audit these pass-throughs? Yes, landlords make mistakes. Pass through of taxes, capital items, incorrect square feet measurements, etc. can recoup dollars. Our experience shows that usually there are errors.
Location Consulting
Who can analyze what state or region of the country I should operate my business? Labor rates, freeways and railway logistics, state tax burden, state economic incentives, employee amenities, cost of services and cost of living for housing, medical, schools, etc.
Industrial Engineering
I have operated out of the same industrial plant for twenty years. Who can help me design a flow to better move material and product through my building? If I could start with a white sheet of paper, what would the optimum flow of my operation look like?
Tax Appeal
Is my real estate over assessed? Is there a quick way to figure this out and can someone help me appeal these overstated taxes?
We are experts in any part of the real estate process. View us as a corporate real estate department for companies that don’t have one. Our knowledge and expertise covers every aspect. We work on a commission basis, hourly or fixed fee. Obviously, we can handle any real estate broker assignment in Michigan, nationally or internationally.
