As a Seller's rep we help calculate your property's marketable value based on NOI, comps, and replacement costs. We assess condition, suggest improvements, and discuss options for redeploying your capital post-sale, ensuring maximum returns and informed decisions.

As a Buyer's rep we determine the ROI and IRR of your invested capital in a property. We review condition and required repairs, analyze current and future market leases, and use tools like CoStar, MLS, and our CCIM and ICSC memberships to find the best properties.

Carlson Group is experienced as both a Landlord and Tenant rep, helping clients navigate lease terms like duration, costs, and Tenant Improvement (TI) allowances. We ensure the highest value for our represented party, sometimes serving both sides with equal expertise and commitment.

Shown: SOLD - $2MM Farm/Home on 100 acres w/ 5 out parcel homes.
We help home sellers devise the best plan to achieve the highest value in the shortest time on market. We assist with scheduling photos, planning and scheduling necessary repairs, and organizing showings and open houses for maximum exposure.
Shown: Leasing - we will help you rent until you're ready to own!
We understands that buying or selling a home doesn't always align with planned schedules. We assist in finding temporary housing until your sale or purchase is complete. Additionally, we help you secure your first single-family home rental through Carlson Management Group.
We use discount cash flow analysis to calculate the return on your dollars while they are in the investment (internal rate of return or IRR). We analyze your return with and without leverage and before and after taxes.
When selling a property, reinvesting into like-kind properties can defer capital gains tax and increase purchasing power. We help identify replacement properties within your timeframe and analyze returns considering tax advantages vs reduced depreciation.
Understanding the effective and alternative returns to your capital (and desired return) will help you decide if buying vs. leasing a property gives you the best return on you dollars. The answer is often surprising.
