Unparalleled access to deals
You receive unparalleled access to real estate investment opportunities. As members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board, we can provide our clients with immediate access to the most prevalent real estate marketing platform in Ontario through the MLS. At the start of each month, we scour the listings sent out by commercial brokerages and immediately send any matching candidates.
Access to capital
Access to preferred service providers
Access to “off-market” properties
We are active in the marketplace and can offer real-time market data. As a result of our tenure in the business and our network, our clients have access to “off-market” properties that are not publicly marketed for sale. In these instances, acting quickly is the only way to ensure success: our ninestep Acquisition Process ensures that you are ready to act immediately.
Access to the top active commercial lenders
Beyond your existing relationships, we can provide access to the top active commercial lenders, who will qualify the type of investment you can make and ensure that the rates and terms are the best available. Interest in commercial real estate lending can change quickly from institution to institution, so we constantly survey the market to determine the most aggressive groups for your business.
If you require additional capital, either equity or debt, you’ll have access to our referral network and other investor clients, many of whom would consider partnering or lending. We can also introduce you to investment companies that can help raise the capital. Whether you’re looking for a group of investors, or a group of individuals wanting to pool their funds, we can make the right connections to help you find and raise the required capital and to complete your transaction.
For the expertise and insight you require, we can introduce you to preferred service providers and our network of professionals who specialize in all facets of commercial real estate: lawyers, accountants, appraisers, engineers, lenders, contractors and property managers.
White glove due-diligence management
The most critical time in the entire process is the 30 to 45 days it takes for buyers to complete due diligence. It’s make or break: you either proceed or terminate the transaction. Our comprehensive Buyer Process ensures you don’t make costly mistakes in your analysis and due diligence—before buying the property.
