Leveraging the Experience of a Hilliker Broker

Hilliker brokers know that when you invest in CRE, you’re likely putting a substantial portion of your net worth on the line. A team of advisors who understands local markets, trends, and the “rules of the road” are essential to your success.

A Hilliker broker functions as the linchpin of your CRE investment team. Together, each of us is part of a more extensive lineup — a “deep bench” at each other’s service with complementary skill sets and specialized knowledge.

We also continually build relationships outside our four walls with:

• Fellow brokers
• Bankers
• Accountants
• Lawyers
• Entrepreneurs
• Other investors
• Title Insurance companies
• Contractors and architects
• All of the other professionals you’ll need for your Real Estate dream team

Additionally, you’ll have access to our skills as project managers. We serve as the central hub for the people and functions involved in your next transaction.

Searching the St. Louis Area (and Beyond)

When you meet with your Hilliker broker for the first time, he or she will ask questions like:

• What do you want to accomplish?
• What is your budget?
• What is your risk tolerance?

Through such questions, we develop a picture of who you are as an investor. Then we go to work looking for property that matches your investor profile:

• Office
• Industrial/Manufacturing
• Warehouse
• Showroom
• Multi-Tenant RetailInstitutional (school, church, governmental, healthcare organization)
• Multi-family residential
• NNN Retail
• Raw Land

Then, using a combination of industry-specific databases and techniques, along with our carefully cultivated networks, we go to work matching you to a property.

We know the St. Louis area — what’s hot, what’s undervalued, what’s overpriced, and what to avoid. By maintaining strong relationships inside various municipalities, we’re familiar with the requirements you’ll need to meet … and the challenges you may face.

You’ll have us as your advocate, fighting for you, looking out for your best interests, determined to see you (and your portfolio) grow and flourish.

Property Management Services

Every investor is different, and each investor wants to engage in different levels of active Property Management. We’ll help with whatever makes sense to you:

• Rent collection
• Contractor supervision
• Bookkeeping
• Managing the payment of insurance, mortgage, and taxes
• Taking all the property-management tasks off your plate that you find annoying, tedious, or difficult

When space opens up, we’ll assist you by marketing your property and actively looking for tenants on your behalf.

When we pair you with tenants, we’ll check their creditworthiness and negotiate the lease for you. We’ll do all we can to help ensure a long and mutually beneficial landlord and tenant relationship.
