Consulting

Transactional Guidance, Due Diligence and Portfolio/Asset Management: DCA provides full-service consulting services across the real estate assets life cycle from Acquisitions, Operations/Existing Portfolio Oversight, Capital Markets Solutions and Dispositions. At the core of DCA’s consulting business is asset valuation. We develop internal valuations on every asset serviced so that our recommendations are sound and catered to whichever stage of the life-cycle an asset might be in. From analyzing historical and/or projected cash flows, to re-creating our own financial models to abstracting dozens of leases, loan and operational agreements, DCA dissects the project, targets solutions and effectuates results. Whether it be a standalone project or long-term portfolio oversight and guidance, DCA takes a calculated and measured approach to achieve its clients’ goals.
