The conflict of interest most investors never consider
Listing brokers represent sellers. When they sell you their listing, their interests and yours are not the same. We represent you, and only you, from search to closing.

We only win when you make the right investment.
Our process
How we find, score and close your NNN investment
We work with you to identify and evaluate properties, negotiate terms, run due diligence and handle every closing detail.
First look at off-market deals
Our developer relationships give you access to properties before they’re publicly listed, which matters when the best assets trade quietly.
We search every platform
LoopNet, CoStar, Crexi and direct developer relationships, filtered to your cap rate, tenant type, geography, lease term and 1031 timeline.
We score every property
Each shortlisted property runs through the NNN Deal Evaluator, our 100-point buyer-side model, before it reaches your desk.
We compare side by side
Every candidate is scored on the same framework, with a clear recommendation and the analysis behind it.
We negotiate for you
Four decades on the buy side tell us where sellers have room. We negotiate price, terms and structure for your best outcome.
We close alongside you
From LOI to closing, we coordinate due diligence, title, your lender and your 1031 intermediary.
NNN Deal Evaluator
The underwriting report that tells you exactly what to do
Most buyers make a multi-million-dollar decision from an offering memorandum written by the seller’s broker. Our evaluator gives you an independent, buyer-side read instead. Already found a property? We can score that, too.
Tell us what you want
Share your target tenant, geography, cap rate and 1031 timeline. We surface candidates, no offering memorandum required.
100-point buyer-side scoring
Five weighted categories. No marketing language and no seller bias: the rigor institutional capital applies, on your side.
Compare multiple properties
Every candidate runs through the same framework, producing a side-by-side comparison and a clear pick.
A direct recommendation
Each report includes a 1031 suitability rating, negotiation leverage points and price adjustment guidance.
What we score
Every report ends with one call
Plain language, a clear verdict, and the reasons behind it.
Due diligence
The offering memorandum is written to sell you. Our due diligence protects you.
Once you’re under contract, we read every document line by line, verify what the OM only asserts, and surface every risk before you close.
From LOI to under contract
A written brief on the purchase agreement: key provisions, contingency windows and every critical date on your calendar. We coordinate directly with your legal counsel.
Property, lease and tenant review
We abstract the lease and confirm it against a tenant estoppel, review the ALTA survey, title, Phase I and property condition report, and vet tenant and guarantor financials.
Understanding the location
We study the trade area around the site: access and visibility, surrounding demand, competing locations, and how readily the property could be re-leased if the tenant ever left.
Transaction management and closing
We resolve open title, survey and lender items, keep your 1031 intermediary on the 45- and 180-day deadlines, and confirm every closing document with your counsel.
1031 exchange specialists
The clock starts the moment you close your sale
We guide private investors through the 1031 exchange with the urgency and precision your deadlines demand, and we score every replacement candidate before you identify it in writing.
Before you close
Contact us before your sale closes and we can have a pre-scored shortlist of replacement properties ready.
Identify in writing by day 45
Identify up to three replacement properties. The evaluator scores each one so you identify with confidence, not guesswork.
Close by day 180
We manage due diligence, negotiation and closing coordination to protect your tax deferral and your capital.

FAQ
Net lease investing, answered
Answers to the questions buyers ask most. More in our full FAQ.
See more questions →Why net lease?
Net leases offer stable, predictable returns even in volatile markets. The tenant pays rent plus property costs such as taxes, insurance and maintenance. Properties are often single-tenant buildings like banks or quick-service restaurants, sometimes backed by a corporate guarantee.
What is a net lease?
A lease in which the tenant, not the landlord, pays rent plus some or all operating costs. In a triple net (NNN) lease, the tenant pays property taxes, insurance and building operating expenses.
What is a single-tenant, net-leased investment?
Typically a freestanding office, retail or industrial building occupied by one company under a long-term lease, often 10 to 25 years with scheduled rent increases.
How is it different from a multi-tenant building?
Multi-tenant buildings have staggered, shorter leases, so income is more exposed to market swings. Net leases generally need less management.
Who can invest in single-tenant, net-leased properties?
Anyone. Institutions invest for security, and individuals who want less hands-on management, or who are exchanging equity tax-deferred, are good candidates.
What are the risks?
Generally lower than speculative real estate. Tenants with non-investment-grade credit carry more risk but may offer higher returns. Always consider re-leasing potential if the tenant leaves.
