Invest in Real Estate

Start with the property and your objectives

You may be evaluating a purchase, selling a rental, considering improvements or deciding whether to keep an inherited asset. We begin with your objectives, the property and the information available. Our role is to bring a brokerage perspective to the decision and identify where additional professional review is needed.

Build a useful picture of the asset

An asking price or projected rent does not tell the whole story. We can help organize relevant market and property information so you can evaluate the assumptions behind a purchase or sale.

• Comparable sales and available market evidence.
• Condition, access and potential repair or preparation needs.
• Known occupancy, leases and possession considerations.
• Available operating records and owner-provided property information.
• Market exposure, likely selling costs and transaction terms.
• Inspection, title and specialist due diligence to consider.

Support a purchase or a disposition

For buyers, we can help identify property that fits the agreed search, coordinate access and evaluate offer terms. For owners, we compare preparation, an as-is listing and other reasonable sale paths. If a property is occupied, the plan needs to address lease obligations, access and communication with the appropriate parties.

Keep the assumptions visible

Vacancy, repairs, financing, insurance, taxes and the time required to sell can change a property's economics. Estimates should identify their sources and uncertainties. Your lender and financial, legal and tax advisors help assess whether the transaction fits your circumstances; Malone handles the agreed real estate work.
