Commercial Real Estate Advisory
Value, condition, zoning, leases, and positioning: what's holding the property back, and what to fix before you take it to market.
Advisory
Decide before you commit capital.
Some decisions come before a listing: whether to sell, hold, reposition, refinance, remediate, or redevelop. GeoTech advisory is paid, strategic guidance that helps owners, investors, and professionals make the right call on a complex commercial property.

Every option on the table
One property. Six possible paths.
Most owners only hear about one option: list it. Advisory looks at all of them first. Choose a path to see the question we answer for it.
The question we answer
Sell
What is the property really worth today, what will buyers and lenders question, and what should be resolved before it goes to market?
The answer isn't always the obvious one. That's the point of looking before you commit.
Why advisory
Brokerage is transactional. Advisory is intellectual capital.
Most brokers only act when there's a deal to close. But the hardest, most valuable work usually happens before that: deciding what the property should become in the first place.

What advisory covers
Advisory across the whole decision.
A property decision rarely sits in one lane. Here's where that expertise actually applies:
Acquisition Advisory
Considering a purchase? We read the risk others miss and tell you whether, and at what price, the opportunity is real.
Disposition Advisory
Ready to exit? We position the property to sell for what it's actually worth, rather than discounting around its problems.
Environmental Risk Advisory
Whether you have an environmental problem, how big it is, and the real options for handling it before it affects value or a sale.
Environmental Cost-to-Cure
What cleanup or compliance will actually cost, quantified up front, so pricing and negotiation hold up with buyers and lenders.
Transaction Strategy
How to structure and sequence the deal, and the factors to weigh before you commit, so nothing derails it later.
Sometimes that means selling. Sometimes it means holding, restructuring, or something you hadn't considered.
Our job is making sure you decide with the full picture, not half of it. There's no pressure to list; we map the options, and the decision stays yours.
Why advisory is necessary
Call before you decide, not after.
Most people call a broker after they've already decided to sell. We'd rather you call before. Advisory means mapping every real option on your property (what it's worth, what it would cost to fix, and what each path actually risks) before you commit to one.
What you walk away with is a clear, written recommendation you can act on, whether that points to a sale, a refinance, a cleanup plan, or holding for now.
Advisory is offered under a formal engagement. This page describes what advisory is, not fees; we scope each engagement to the decision at hand.

How an engagement works
From problem to a clear recommendation.
Step 1
Define the decision
We start with your actual problem or the decision you're facing, not a sales pitch.
Step 2
Map the options
We lay out the realistic paths: sell, hold, lease, reposition, redevelop, or restructure.
Step 3
Analyze each one
Financial implications, market conditions, regulatory considerations, timeline, and risk.
Step 4
Recommend
A clear, written recommendation you can act on. If a brokerage transaction is the right next step, GeoTech Realty, Inc. can discuss representation with you separately.
