We Power Your Success
About

WE POWER YOUR SUCCESS
Real estate is a transaction business. For smaller, nimble firms, the day-to-day operations and investor reporting needs can keep you from what you are best at and like to do most - buying/selling/leasing/building and investing in commercial real estate. LPA delivers significant operational improvement and early identification of emerging opportunities and risks in your investment portfolio. Centered on building and streamlining execution, operations and reporting, LPA drives meaningful back-office efficiency and enterprise profitability.
WHY LPA?
LPA speaks real estate. Engaging LPA allows you to capture senior operational expertise without the high cost of a full-time Chief Operating Officer resulting in:
1. Engagement: Keeping you on top of the market, clients and investors
2. Speed: Faster execution of projects and streamlined operations
3. Opportunities: Early identification of opportunities and risks
4. Flexibility: Access to deep real estate expertise on a project, temporary or fractional basis
5. Profitability: All adding up to saving time and making money
HOW WE WORK
LPA’s services can be engaged on a retainer, per project or outsourced basis depending on the best fit for your business. We provide operating leverage to you and your team and our services are an enhancement to, not a replacement for, your existing staffing. Our goal is to uncover opportunities that improve your investment and operational performance, thereby increasing investment returns and freeing you to focus on building your company.
