Property Advisory & Investment
Greystone has guided over $2.4 billion in real estate transactions since 2009. We work with families, institutions, and developers who take property seriously.
Founded in Chicago by three former brokerage principals
Active markets across the United States
Fee-based advisory. No commission conflicts.
Greystone was started in 2009 by three people who had spent years inside large brokerages and decided that most of the advice their clients received was generic, rushed, and motivated by commission cycles.
We do things differently. Every engagement starts with listening. We learn what our clients actually need, not what is easiest to sell. Our advisory model means we work on fewer deals with more attention. The result is better outcomes and clients who stay with us for decades.
Our team has direct experience across residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use properties in 12 markets. We are not generalists pretending to know everything. We are specialists who know when to bring in the right people.
We help buyers identify, evaluate, and negotiate the right properties. Our process includes market analysis, financial modelling, due diligence coordination, and negotiation support. We do not push properties. We find them.
Selling a property is about timing, positioning, and knowing who the right buyers are. We prepare assets for sale, build targeted marketing, and manage the process from listing through closing.
For clients holding multiple properties, we provide ongoing strategic advice. That includes performance reviews, hold/sell analysis, capital allocation planning, and market monitoring.
From site selection to feasibility studies to project oversight, we work with developers at every stage. Our focus is making sure the numbers work before ground breaks, not after.
We produce independent property valuations and market research for clients who need reliable data to make decisions. No spin, no overinflated numbers. Just honest assessments.
We help clients source debt and equity for real estate investments. Our network includes private lenders, institutional investors, and family offices across multiple geographies.
