BUYING CRITERIA

Thank You Brokers!

As a California based principal, we appreciate your ability to bring off-market opportunities and consistent deal flow. We value your expertise of submarkets, leasing dynamics, and potential tenants. Typically, we’ll partner on buy-side and then relist – offering FULL commission.

How to Partner

Buy

We ALWAYS use brokers to buy our shopping centers. Together we identify, underwrite and submit offers on under-performing buildings.

Stabilize

We physically upgrade the property, plus co-market with 3D tours, video walkthroughs, loopnet premium, costar, social ads, and direct mail.

2) Schedule Call

Sell

As soon as we hit pro-forma occupancy we’ll list with the broker who brought us the deal. The faster we turn the deal, the better the ROI.
