Experience

1. Real Estate Development and Acquisition Consultant

   New Green Development Advisors

   Aug 2006 — Present · San Marcos, CA, US

   Working together, the owner and development consultant become the “developer” of the real estate project. While the owner is responsible for decision making, the development consultant takes on the responsibility for managing the entire development process, coordinating the work of the development team, serving as central point for communication and decision making, and providing coaching and advice to the owner. In addition, the development consultant takes on a number of specific tasks either independently or in conjunction with other members of the development team. These tasks normally include:• Oversee the preparation of development program and concept plan(s)• Undertake market/need/demand analysis• Identify, evaluate, and assist with negotiating property acquisition• Assist with project design (particularly from market and budget perspectives)• Prepare capital and operating cost budgets• Assist with zoning and other development approvals• Prepare applications for government assistance• Prepare marketing materials and coordinate marketing/application/pre-leasing/pre-sales process• Prepare financing applications and negotiate terms• Coordinate an acceptable procurement method and construction contract• Account for all project costs• Assist with organizing property managementBecause each project is unique, it is difficult to list the exact tasks the development consultant may take on. In fact, because development consultants are frequently involved very early in the development process, the exact list of tasks may be impossible to know until the development process has begun, and the full scope of the project is known.
