What makes us different

We go well beyond the simplistic phrases of “buy low, sell high” and “location, location, location”. We believe that investments should be based on detailed analysis of the underlying real estate markets, market conditions and common sense. Detailed business plans are prepared for each acquisition. Then we execute on these plans. Progress is closely monitored on an ongoing basis. Flexibility and adaptability are also important. Pac Starr stays close to its basic philosophy that a small, specialized and highly experienced team is quicker, flexible and more nimble and better able to see and adjust to changing market conditions. We actively manage our investments by providing asset management and other related functions directly or through our affiliates. Property management and leasing are normally handled by experienced, third party firms, under the direction and close supervision of Pac Starr. Last, but not least, the principals bring a high level of commitment and passion to Pac Starr, its projects and all of the team members associated with these projects.
