Experience

  • LongRun offers interim senior investment professional services – including acquisition and sales, development projects, asset management and portfolio management. For clients experiencing planned or unanticipated staffing changes, LongRun can backfill coverage until more permanent staffing solutions are implemented. 
  • For clients with asset bases insufficient in scale to justify establishing a Southeastern U.S. satellite office, LongRun’s Atlanta-based team can provide interim and/or part-time solutions for acquisition support and asset management coverage.
  • In the currently challenging investment environment, LongRun can provided additional depth to complement a client’s existing staffing in the management of problem investments and/or joint ventures.
  • As overall economic conditions ultimately recover, LongRun can also provide additional depth to complement a client’s existing staffing in evaluating large portfolio investment opportunities (property assessment and valuation) which may arise.
  • LongRun is available to perform complex portfolio financial models with multi-tiered ownership structures.
  • For real estate operator clients seeking to evolve into specialized investment managers, LongRun can collaborate with the firm’s existing management team on (i) the development and documentation of institutional-quality investment management systems and processes (derived from the client’s existing systems and its best practices); (ii) the creation of a strong regional and/or sector-focused investment research function (providing a vehicle for a client’s differentiation from their peers, attracting investment capital and enhanced investment decisions); (iii) the preparation of investment program deliverables (evolving client’s real estate expertise and opportunities into institutional-quality investment program offerings); (iv) staff development programs for a client’s younger associates (on core investment management competencies); and, (v) enterprise valuation, 5-year strategic planning and succession planning.
