Advisory Services
Five disciplines, one principle: evaluate before you commit. Land value, construction feasibility, renovation ROI, and long-term return — all underwritten before contract.
Naples · Marco Island · Bonita Springs
The Three Decisions
Most $1M+ Naples decisions reduce to one of three questions. Each carries a different math, a different timeline, and a different risk profile.
Is this asset's price defensible against five years of comparable sales — and what's the renovation runway baked in?
Which scope items return capital at resale, and which are vanity spend the next buyer won't pay for?
Does demo + new construction beat a strategic renovation on IRR, timeline, and risk-adjusted return?
Five Advisory Pillars
Highest-and-Best-Use Analysis
Before you close on a parcel, we underwrite what the dirt is actually worth. Lot premium, zoning ceiling, setback math, build-out comps, and exit comparables — translated into a defensible go/no-go.
Budget Modeling & Project Oversight
Every renovation dollar should return at resale or in rent. We pre-model scope by ROI tier — kitchens, primary suites, lanai/outdoor — and oversee scope creep so the spread holds at exit.
Builder Coordination & Spec Review
Most luxury builds leak value through finish drift and resale-blind specifying. We sit between the buyer and the builder — protecting the investment from contract through C.O.
Replacement Cost Analysis
When the lot outvalues the structure, the math gets interesting. We model demo, soft costs, build, carry, and sale — against the realistic ceiling for that street — and tell you the truth.
