Real Estate Outsourcing

In today’s real estate environment, property managers, homebuilders, real estate developers, and construction contractors are facing a myriad of challenges from both outside their companies as well as internally. Outsourcing your real estate dealings can provide you with cost effective solutions to your company’s growing needs. Successful companies have discovered their time and energy is best focused on solving problems that increase the Company’s profit margins while letting others handle the back office and administrative burdens.

Real Estate Outsourcing is the ideal solution for companies that are experiencing one or more of the following issues:

• Demands by outside investors or vendors require detailed and extensive monthly or quarterly financial reporting
• Explosive growth forcing owners to rely on financial reports to verify that they are making money vs. having a cut fee line
• Concerns about increasing overhead costs, including:
  o Outside computer hardware consultants
  o Outside software customization consultants
  o Finance & accounting department staffing
• Special projects that require a ramp-up of overhead personnel costs for a finite period of time.

Before outsourcing your real estate dealing, be clear of few things:

• Set and regularly refer to your primary objectives. Be it cash, operational flexibility or risk transfer, be clear about the negotiating zones.
• Only go to market with a deal that is close to what you want. If you do not have a good sense of where you want to end up, you will get offers that meets bidders’ terms, not yours.
• Bidders are efficient at pricing risk, not uncertainty. Estate records tend to be imperfect where properties have been around for a long time. So, do your homework. Price the conditions and services you may require of your new operator-owner, and make sure that your bidders are in a position to price your property and its liabilities aggressively. They are unlikely to pay a premium for the unknown, and you may end up retaining property risk and costly leasehold structures to boot.
