Who are we

Behind every new project, there are a number of key players: the developer; the architect; the interior designer; the sales team.

Many times, there’s someone else involved who gets little public credit but plays an integral role: the real estate consultant.

Consultants can have various types of expertise and fulfill myriad roles. Some advise developers on pre-development decisions, and become involved in a project before the land is secured, the feasibility reports are run and the architecture firm is hired. Others are brought into the process later to help guide decisions regarding unit mix, pricing and design. And others, still, are hired once these decisions have been made to help define the project’s brand, hone in on the target market and build an online presence.

Regardless of their area of expertise and how the developer uses their services, every consultant relies on data and strong industry connections to help the developer make decisions and ensure they’re working with the best team to achieve their goals.

When a developer has failed to hire a consultant at an early stage, it’s obvious, Mr. Silvestri said, noting that he’s recently walked into has gone smoothly Engineers and Architects are all busy naming their prices and making mistakes that is costing the developers time and money. This is a role that a consultant needs to help bear down on and keep the design team in check and on budget. Mr Silvestri has saved hundreds of thousands on a recent project value engineering, and working closely with town & city officials. Mr Silvestri strongly believes in one on one face to face meetings emails and texts have gotten out of hand and out of context. With one on one meetings all issues can be brought to the table and discussed and hopefully resolved in a very minimal amount of time.
“Without living and breathing luxury real estate, and walking the streets with these purchasers to understand their changing requirements, the developers don’t have a hold on the market,” Mr. Silvestri said. “It definitely requires a specialist.”

Engaging an expert consultant at the earliest stage possible is one way developers can guard against missteps, consultants say.
