Sweeping changes have occurred in the commercial real estate industry over the last decade. Firms offering traditional services can no longer compete. That’s why Whitley & Associates, Inc. broke with tradition long ago. Relative to brokerage, we have built an integrated team of professionals that consists of advisors from various disciplines backed by experts from such fields as governmental agencies, appraisers, health care, financial services, and property management. Their skills can be applied across the breadth of commercial and residential projects from office buildings to condominium conversions, from municipal facilities to mixed use projects, from single tenant to multi-tenant buildings to land development, and more. Our advisors stand ready to work with you wherever their expertise can be of value in an advisory capacity; in sale/lease negotiations; or in facility, site, and land acquisition and disposition. As to valuation and consulting, we provide accurate valuations across all product types and regions. Our team uses the latest technology to deliver real-world answers for our clients. No two properties are identical; we approach every assignment from the ground up, analyzing the current market data, learning all aspects of the property and identifying emerging trends to produce dependable consistent solutions. We work to develop superior market knowledge at a national and local level. Our clients benefit from the integration of different service lines and the in depth knowledge it provides to produce timely and accurate reports.
