Welcome to Real Estate Matters

Our passion is real estate. At our core, we are real estate developers who know how to consult with real estate owners, lenders and creditors. We don’t just diagnose problems. We are here to provide the remedy and function optimally when we can be hands-on.

When you have challenges with acquisition, entitlement, cash flow, project management, or operational problems, give us a call. We can help.

Our years of experience in a wide range of real estate/ business operations from sole proprietorships to multi-national corporations–dealing with real estate, professional services, retail, investment, and media enterprises–have earned us our reputation as “the kind of people you can talk to.”

Every situation is unique and we will approach yours with nimble, creative, and sound strategies.
