CRE: Counseling Corps

Prior to a projected panel visit, please complete an "Application for CRE Consulting Corps Assistance," which provides a summary of the real estate problem for review by the Consulting Corps Steering Committee.

You and the Consulting Corps Chairman will discuss and agree on the scope of the assignment and upon an engagement fee, which will be outlined in a formal engagement letter.

To prepare the Consulting Corps team in advance of their on-site work, we will look to you to provide additional resource materials as needed. These could include maps, market information, and other relevant materials.

Approximately 30 days prior to the arrival of the panel, the Consulting Corps Chairman, with your assistance, will identify and invite resource people (usually between 10 - 30 individuals) to be interviewed by the Consulting Corps team. These interviewees need to represent a cross-section of the community and provide a wide range of insights relating to the real estate problem, including but not limited to planners, developers, advocates, politicians, tenants, or brokers.

A project typically last 5 - 6 days. Upon arrival, we ask that you provide a briefing session to the Consulting Corps team. This would include an overview of the real estate problem being addressed and a site visit.

After reviewing extensive materials, meeting with you, surveying the site, and interviewing the resource individuals, the Consulting Corps team members convene for extensive deliberations on your real estate problem. Pooling their sophisticated experience, talent, and skills, members of the Consulting Corps team then create a strategic plan of action that will guide your way to a real estate solution.

At the conclusion of the Consulting Corps team members' work, you will meet with the team for a report on their final recommendations.
