Specialists
Each agent has specialized in one or two commercial disciplines. This means that they know all aspects of that discipline including: knowledge of each past sale / lease, price / terms, familiarity with the property, understanding the supply and demand for the product and knowing all aspects of that market. This is essential regardless if the need is for leasing (landlord or tenant) or buying or selling a property. Our agents are often called by appraisers to verify that the appraised value being reported for a property is accurate. Honestly, this is common.
Market Knowledge
An example of our market knowledge the Greater Phoenix Apartment Owner’s Newsletter, that we have published every quarter since 1999. Past issues are posted on our web site. The newsletter reports the apartments sales for each quarter, with an in-depth review of all the sales, vacancies, absorption, permitting activity and an overall perspective of current and projected trends.
Most of our agents have been working full time as commercial practitioners for more than 10 years and a few more than 20 years.
