About CMRE Partners
An outsourced real estate department for families with substantial holdings.
CMRE Partners begins with the portfolio: what to hold, sell, develop, and restructure across generations. The firm then carries the chosen strategy through execution, wherever the holdings are.
The Firm
Portfolio judgment before transaction activity.
With more than three decades through multiple real estate cycles, CMRE Partners gives families an experienced, accountable advisor across their entire real estate portfolio - working directly with principals and, for larger families, alongside their family offices.
The work spans acquisitions, dispositions, development, leasing, financing, ground leases, joint ventures, entitlements, valuations, and specialty assets including ski areas, sports and entertainment districts, waterfront, aircraft hangars, mountain and lake homes, and the San Juan Islands.

What Clients Get
A single accountable advisor across the whole decision.
Portfolio-first strategy
An explicit view of what to hold, sell, develop, or restructure before any transaction begins.
Execution without handoffs
One advisor across acquisitions, dispositions, development, leasing, financing, valuations, ground leases, and joint ventures.
Multi-cycle perspective
Thirty-two years through multiple real estate cycles, calibrated for stress, recovery, and expansion markets.
Discretion
Family matters are handled quietly and identifying details are withheld unless a client expressly authorizes disclosure.
Advice without an allocation agenda
CMRE Partners is advisory by design. Firms that manage capital have to deploy it; our recommendations never compete with that pressure. When we advise holding, selling, or doing nothing, that is the whole trade.
How We Work
A disciplined, repeatable process. Tailored to each engagement.
Every engagement commences by listening intently to the client to establish specific goals, then collaborating tirelessly to execute the agreed-upon real estate strategy. The work below is what follows from that conversation, calibrated to the client's actual decision and timeline.
Discovery
Listen, define goals, surface family or organizational constraints, and confirm the actual decision being made.
Research
Submarket and asset-class analysis, comparable transactions, demographics, and an honest read on cycle and pricing context.
Strategy & Modeling
Recommendation grounded in cash-flow modeling, scenario analysis, and an explicit view of the risks the client should weigh.
Execution
Negotiate, document, coordinate counsel and lenders, manage diligence, and close. CMRE quarterbacks every workstream.
Stewardship
Multi-year, multi-generational continuity. Real estate decisions revisited as families evolve and markets change.
