As federal and state funding streams shrink and public budgets tighten, communities are being challenged to do more with less. Strategic use of real estate assets can be an effective tool not only to generate sales proceeds, but also to catalyze economic development, advance community goals, and unlock longterm value.
RSG partners with nearly four dozen public sector clients to deliver comprehensive real estate advisory and brokerage services. Our services include property acquisition and disposition, market analyses, design and feasibility studies, Surplus Land Act advisory, property inventory and strategic planning, community benefits and fiscal impact analyses, and development underwriting.
RSG’s real estate team combines licensed real estate brokers and salespersons, former city and county Community Development and Economic Development Directors, and experienced professionals with decades of real estate expertise who can navigate complex transactions and deliver results.
