WHY SHOULD REC BE YOUR CONSULTANT?

We have an unwavering commitment to deliver a thorough, professional, and insightful analysis of your concern in a timely manner. Our in-the-field property experience and in-the-streets capital markets experience provide a unique combination of expertise that continues to impress our clients. Our unmatched experience and technical strategies help us to maximize profits both for ourselves and for our clients. 

Most importantly, we consult from the owner's perspective. The owner's perspective is a paradigm that’s developed from building and operating real estate assets. The paradigm focuses attention solely on what matters to the stakeholders and does not get mired in academia or theory. It also goes well beyond first and second order thinking and considers both short and long term consequences of decision making. 

"I was involved with Doug in the development, construction, and sale of a 63-unit high-rise luxury condo on Fort Lauderdale beach. Doug always had a grasp of all of the issues involving the project, whether large or small, and was able to get to the point quickly to get them solved. Doug would be a tremendous asset to any company or team."

Stephen Hoffman, Partner, Mastriana & Christiansen, PA
