ADVISORY SERVICES:

  • A dated snapshot-in-time is often overlooked and can be critical in strengthening your protection from potential claims related to:

    • Sellers’ representations and warranties

    • Neighbors

    • Insurance matters

    • Regulatory compliance

    We provide:

    • AI-based property research

    • Cataloguing of available maps and plats

    • Onsite and perimeter photography and drone footage

    • Notation of items of value or concern (structures, features, encroachments, defects, measurements)

    This makes us available for future testimony or affidavits regarding our documented observations.

  • Unidentified title issues are a primary cause of delayed or failed transaction closings.

    We recommend ordering a PTR during initial underwriting and before the initial Letter of Intent—and we’ll scrutinize it for you.

    They often contain valuable intel that can strengthen your negotiating position.

    We will review:

    • AI-based ownership research

    • Unresolved liens, judgments, encumbrances, tax defaults, quiet title actions

    • The nature of any debt secured by the property—does the seller have actual equity?

    • Implications of any recorded development agreements, easements, CC&Rs, or discrepancies that may delimit intended development

  • Issues exist—in my experience, licensed professionals miss many of the non-obvious concerns.

    Using 35 years of experience, we will study the development plan:

    • Identify available points of connection for utilities and offsite rights to connect (easements, ROWs)

    • Note probable offsite improvements

    • Storm water entry and exit points and possible permit needs—Army Corps, WOUS, FEMA (coordinating with licensed professionals)

    • Analysis of intended site plans

  • Your company wants to ensure that your acquisition team:

    • doesn’t overpay

    • doesn’t unknowingly under-offer

    • pulls the right ‘deal levers’ in the pro forma

    • establishes the right deal structure—which should be a dominant consideration

    We will provide:

    • AI-based analysis

    • Critique of your pro forma assumptions and CMAs to find accretive options

    • Value-add ideas for civil design and site plans

    • Review of line items of cost and revenue inputs

  • We will professionally and charismatically represent you in:

    • interacting with and gauging stakeholders and potential opponents

    • neighborhood goodwill

    • public meetings and hearings
