Retail/Office/Representative Clients

         In the retail area, we have more than twenty years' experience representing owners and management agents, including the Kuester Companies, as well as other retail, office, and mixed use developers.  In the office condominium area, we represent Barrett Development and Barrett Investments, LLC, which has completed more than seven multi-building office condominium projects. Within the past two years we have handled a number of large scale transactions, including the sale of the Terraces at Southpark and the Terraces at Park Place shopping centers, and closed the permanent financing for the Ballantyne Village complex, in excess of $50,000,000 (which is now public record).  In South Carolina, we represent Crossroads Commons, a mixed use apartment home and retail project, as well as Alligator Road Development, which develops projects for active adults.  Our representative clients also include McDonald's Corporation, for sites for new fast food restaurants; WMF Capital Corp. (a couduit lender); various homeowners' associations; and other various developers.

Homebuilder/ Residential Development Representation

North Carolina - In North Carolina, while we can cover all 100 counties, we handle closings of property located in Mecklenburg County, as well as the surrounding counties (Union, Cabarrus, Lincoln, Iredell, Stanley, Rowan, and Gaston) on a regular basis.   Title searches within these counties can be completed within 3-4 business days, but please allow us at least a week whenever possible.  We also commonly close transactions involving vacation property and second homes in the counties along the coast and in the mountains, but please allow additional search time.

South Carolina - In South Carolina, we can also cover property located in any county; however, we cover York and Lancaster Counties on a regular basis, and can also close transactions on vacation and second homes in most of the counties along the coast, with prompt turn-around time.  More remote areas will require additional search time, and may involve additional fees.
