Waterbourne offers a significant range of real estate services, without the overhead costs associated with large companies providing an extremely cost-effective approach to meet your real estate objectives.

Our services include, but are not limited to:

Strategic Real Estate Planning

When it comes to strategic real estate planning, the stakes are high and the results critical to the success of any business. Traditionally, real estate decisions are often driven by short-term or immediate space requirements.  Extending beyond the narrow perspective of traditional brokers, the Waterbourne strategic approach expands the real estate planning horizon dramatically in order to develop real estate solutions that consider much more than just space needs.

A comprehensive strategic real estate plan positions a company to implement the most cost effective real estate solutions, including the flexibility needed for inevitable future business changes. A proactive plan can uncover opportunities to link real estate decisions with business plans and reveal new ways to save money in facilities expenses.

The advisors at Waterbourne take their clients step by step through the strategic real estate planning process, beginning with a thorough and careful analysis of the client’s present situation and a comprehensive review of the organization’s goals, facilities and key business issues.  Industry and market trends, compelling matters facing the organization, and future plans that could effect real estate needs are all considered in determining how real estate can be positioned to most effectively support the business.

While reviewing financial issues including real estate’s impact on cash flow and stakeholder value, considerations relevant to present facilities, and real estate budgeting, the client’s real estate strategy is developed. By evaluating the impact that real estate has on all aspects of the business including operations, sales, marketing, finance, and human resources, companies are able to create competitive advantages through their real estate decisions. Looking at real estate from a business strategy perspective, key components such as lease vs. buy, relocation, expansion, and location are determined

In conjunction with the strategic real estate planning process, the experts at Waterbourne are uniquely able to offer clients a full range of real estate services in support of their strategic plan implementation.  Providing a systematic framework for a cohesive real estate process, the Waterbourne team follows through the strategic real estate plan until the client is fully operational in its new facility.
