Counselling Services
The market meltdown in the early 1990s toppled real estate from its pedestal. No longer an icon of corporate stability and wealth; its role has been subsumed to the operational imperatives of the enterprise. Real estate has been relegated to the ranks … it is now just another asset which has to earn its keep every hour of every day. However change in the real estate industry is occurring more rapidly than ever before. Today's businesses must deal with a global economy marked by constant advances in technology and increasingly complex real estate problems … and they must do it with less staff; the past decade has been characterised by a flattening of the organisational structure. In facing these issues head-on, organisations of all types and sizes are recognising the need for solid real estate advice from experts who can anticipate and interpret industry trends, and who can work intelligently with senior management in their common quest to positively affect the company's bottom line …
We offer a range of counselling and advisory services, all designed to maximise the value of your real estate assets:
Fees
We believe that our clients should know what our services will cost before we commence the assignment … there should be no surprises! We therefore enter into a written contract which clearly specifies the scope and the cost of the work.
