Solutions that Serve

OBJECTIVE COUNSEL TO LEADERSHIP TEAMS
Church and private school listings are often mishandled by unqualified agents who undervalue the properties or keep them on the market too long. Many lack an understanding of how to price special purpose, assembly-type real estate. We are experts in this field.

 

SEASONED NEGOTIATORS
Our team has over 60 years of combined real estate experience and has sold or leased over $350 million in church and private school properties. We know Puget Sound real estate inside and out.

 

QUALIFIED BUYER/TENANT SOURCING
We specialize in direct mail and internet marketing strategies, tailor made to attract the most likely buyers or tenants for your property.
PROPERTIES THAT MATCH YOUR MISSION
Churches and private schools often buy or lease properties that are ill suited for their true needs. We understand special-purpose properties and how they can best be utilized.

 

HIGHEST & BEST USE STRATEGIES
Your property may have unrealized development potential that could be tapped to provide additional cash for your ministry.

 

CREATIVE FINANCING SOLUTIONS
Your existing mortgage may be costing you money. We can show you how to reduce or restructure your debt, improve monthly cash flow, and free up funds for your ministry.
