ABOUT
LOWER OCCUPANCY COSTS IN LESS TIME
We work with our clients to drive lower occupancy costs in less time. Foundation’s clients generally achieve a 20-25% reduction in their real estate costs, which equates to tens of thousands of dollars annually. For example, a typical 10,000 square foot tenant can expect to save over $200,000 over the course of a standard lease term.
TRUSTED ADVISORS
What sets us apart is our collective experience in the fields of real estate management, investment, ownership, brokerage, and operations. We know all of the issues facing tenants and landlords, which means that we also know where the problems, opportunities, and disasters lie.
END TO END SUPPORT
What makes us unique is the fact that we represent our clients throughout the life of the lease. We don’t stop when the transaction is completed. We continue to help our clients to design, build, and occupy their new space, and we solve problems as they come up over the course of the lease, sometimes up to 5 years or longer. We don’t just handle transactions, we provide for your complete real estate needs.
EMPOWERING THE CLIENT
A real estate transaction is one of the most complex, expensive, and highly visible events undertaken by a company. Accordingly, a successful transaction should be:
- Fiscally sound
- Strategically relevant
- Defendable
A real estate advisor should enhance the process by empowering the client with information and analysis. The advisor should manage the transaction by professionally guiding and challenging the client where necessary. The advisor should be objective and unbiased at all times, keeping the client’s needs foremost in mind.
LEAN ON EXPERIENCE
The relationship should be based on trust, confidence, and collaboration. It does not stop with the transaction, but continues throughout the real estate life-cycle. More than just brokerage, it is a business relationship that client and advisor can enjoy for many years as it is based not on the quantity of transactions, but the quality thereof.
