San Francisco is one
of the most magnificent cities in the world, but more dense,
diverse, and bureaucratic then most. Square footage is expensive, and requires care, planning, and
a multitude of resources. What is a property specialist ? What can a property specialist do for you? |
An Owner's Advocate
Simply put, a property specialist is a multi-disciplined professional, experienced in navigating bureaucratic waters and well-versed in the multi-faceted code requirements; he is knowledgeable in the building trades, and trained in project coordination and the efficient use of resources; he is sensitive to the tenant component in property issues; he is comfortable with numbers and understands value; his goal is protecting the value and integrity of your real property assets; he is, by necessity, strategic in his thinking.
A Strategic Resource
In a city as compact and regulated as San Francisco, property and by
extension property ownership, is a complex beast, and must be considered
as more
than the sum of its parts. Just as you would consult with a
variety of medical specialists to protect your long-term health, there
are experienced specialists available to help protect the
long term
value of your property assets. There are CPAs for taxes, realtors
for brokerage and property management needs, attorneys for legal
concerns,
and architects for project design.
And . . . Property Specialists as permit expediter and Planning consultant, and the solution for your notice of violation abatement, construction management, and property administration needs.
An Operational Resource
It is the "nuts and bolts" work - the heavy lifting, the forms, the
briefs, the presentations, the inspections, the negotiations, the
relationships - that will ultimately exhibit the true value of our
services. This is what we do; this is
the
day-to-day assistance
Fred Horsfield has continued to provide San
Francisco property Owners for more than twenty-five years as a building permit
expediter and planning consultant.
In addition to informing our own work, this experience has given us the opportunity to gather and maintain a substantial "rolodex" of architects, engineers, vendors, and contractors who can provide their significant services with integrity, and would be a decided plus as members of your team.
