Our Philosophy & Process

Since its founding in 1982, the culture at Sarofim Realty Advisors has been that the best interest of the client is always served first.  We do not simply work for our clients but seek to know them and build a relationship based upon trust.  We believe that mutual trust is critical to achieve the desired outcome each client is seeking.

While an investment may go through various economic and property market cycles, we believe that favorable results can be produced through our investment focus, active risk mitigation and actionable value creation strategies.

Focus

We identify market opportunities
to develop targeted and timely investment strategies. 
Regardless of strategy,
our acquisition process mandates well located, high-quality real estate with competitive advantages
that can produce enhanced and durable cash flow.

Risk Management

We underwrite and price risk according to the
targeted investment returns.
Our team proactively identifies, mitigates, or eliminates risk
at acquisition and throughout
our ownership. 

 

Value Creation

Our value creation strategies
are always clear, actionable, and consistent with our
investment thesis. 
Results-oriented and responsive
asset management allows us to execute asset-specific
strategies.
