The first call
How the first call goes
Goal. Cash flow, house hacking, a 1031 exchange timeline, or a long hold. Tell us which one.
Market. The towns and property types we know, and the ones where you need a specialist.
Numbers. Rent comps and expenses you can check yourself. We don’t make up yields for the website.
Next step. A tour plan, an offer plan, or a plain answer that it isn’t a fit.
The shop
A brokerage, not a fund
Realest is a brokerage. We are not a fund, a syndication desk, or a property management company. We don’t post sample returns, and we don’t claim a portfolio we can’t show you.
