We are available to help source lenders for the project and assist in closing on the property and the financing. Once ready for construction, Amplify will act as the owner's representative and manage the construction process through project closeout.

We will be there for you from concept, to design, through completion. We'll make sure that your business opens in the perfect space!

Due Diligence Helps You Understand Your Property Needs

One of the most critical parts of purchasing real estate is understanding what you are buying. At this point in the acquisition process you already know what you are paying for the property, now it's time to figure out what you are getting. Not just the land and a building, but what is under the ground and behind the walls. We assist our investors managing the due diligence process for them. Once the investor has determined which studies are appropriate for the particular property, Amplify will assemble the team of consultants and oversee the process and present the final reports. Often times the reports lead to further study and we will arrange for this as well.

Amplify has completed very straight forward due diligence studies with boundary surveys and Phase 1 environmental reports, as well as much more complex studies including wetlands delineations, Phase 2 environmental reports, property condition assessments, asbestos and lead surveys, and more. If areas of concern are identified, we also assist the investor in obtaining pricing to repair or mitigate the issues. We believe the due diligence needed for each property is entirely unique to its location, age, and use and we work with you to understand the attributes and faults of the property before you own it.

In addition to analysis of the physical land and structures, Amplify assists investors in a host of pre-closing services. We maintain a network of real estate lenders that serve our market. We prepare lender packages for the property or project to assist in locating favorable financing. We manage the real estate closing process by assembling all the documents necessary for the lender and closing to attorney to complete the acquisition.

For When It's More than Just a Location

It doesn't matter if you are looking for a location for your business or an investment property, you must understand the current, past, and predicted future market trends.

Everyone has heard about the 3 keys to real estate success: "location, location, location." However, the best location for a restaurant is not necessarily the best location for a law office. In the same sense, the best location for a pizza parlor is different from a high end steak house. Market forces can have a significant impact on the suitability of a particular site over time making it even more critical to understand the trends.

Amplify, with your input, will conduct an exhaustive market analysis to help you understand the trends in product availability, rents, property values, vacancy rates, population growth, and potential competitors. Often times lenders or investors will require a report from a 3rd party market research firm, Amplify can assist you in the sourcing and hiring of these firms if necessary.

Don't make the mistake of overlooking the importance of market research, let our knowledge be your advantage.
