Dunes Advisors
Serving Riverside County, CA
WHAT MAKES DUNES ADVISORS THE RIGHT CHOICE Attention to Detail: Most of you have experienced the old "If you want it done right" saying. You're not going to be handed off to a new Agent or a "Team", where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. From placing ads to closing escrow, my approaching 30 years of transactional experience directly benefits you. Real Life Experience: The adage "You can't really understand another person's experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes." Rings true when representing business and commercial property owners. From breeding and selling tropical fish when I was 13 to managing inventory for a hundred million dollar plus retail empire, I’ve felt the pain and reaped the rewards. When I’m working with clients and say “I understand what you’re going through” I really mean it! Full Range of Services: Representation of Business owners and buyers large and small, representation of Commercial Property Owners and buyers large and small, lease negotiation and representation for tenants and landlords in the commercial sector, estimation of values, exit planning and more. If we can’t handle it, we’ll help you find someone who can. Confidentiality: At or near the top of concerns of every business owner when contemplating a sale. How do I keep the sale a secret? I don’t want my employees to know. Notice some of our competitors actually use the business name and pictures in ads on the internet or put a sign in the window! With planning and experience our track record of keeping everything confidential is superb. Transactional Experience: Since 1997 I’ve personally handled over 700 transactions and overseen another 500+ as the Broker of Record. What does this mean for a client? Almost every situation you can encounter, I’ve already encountered. Clients get comfort knowing I’ve seen it all.
