MRA conducts thorough market analyses utilizing proven methodologies to target real estate investments and opportunities that maximize return for our clients. We take an in-depth look at market data and assess the vitality of options based on a business’ unique goals.

MRA uses public and private data sources to support critical decisions, locate and characterize investment options and monitor market transactions. Utilizing client specific information in conjunction with a needs analysis we consider national and regional trends and forecasts. In addition, we utilize transaction analytics and a variety of valuation modules to develop a real estate proposal that supports current and future objectives.

When creating a proposal to buy, sell or lease real estate, MRA will propose the right opportunities at the right price, recommend sound financing options and obtain stakeholder buy in. In addition, we’ll perform timely and comprehensive due diligence, align deals with strategic business objectives and maintain regulatory compliance. Value will be enhanced through business integration and the realization of business synergies, resulting in revenue streams that are beneficial to all parties.

MRA has the experience necessary to properly evaluate economic and non-economic terms and determine whether a transaction is truly in a client's best interest.

MRA advises clients on the benefits and disadvantages of both leasing and purchasing real estate using a thorough analysis of individual business goals. Some areas of consideration include cash flow requirements, space needs and uses, the importance of branding, protecting or creating trade areas and establishing franchise value.

The extent of economic benefit varies based on the choice to buy or lease as does the tax benefit. Using accepted analytical methods such as Present Value (PV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR), MRA quantifies and compares the advantages of each alternative. Requirements for space mobility and flexibility, availability of cash and stability of costs are considered versus the advantages of capital appreciation, salvage value, debt reduction and equity buildup.

MRA gathers the tangible information, conducts the analysis and confers with our client to identify the option most in line with investment and operational objectives.
