The Problems You May Not Know You Have
1.
Developing a deep understanding of the local market and the potential buyers isn’t easy, can be time consuming, and takes expertise.
2.
Without boots on the ground knowledge of the neighborhood, it’s more difficult to build ideal unit layouts, offer desirable amenities and create a brand story that separates you from your competitors.
3.
If there is uncertainty in the development process it’s not always clear what can be done to cut or eliminate costs.
4.
Optimizing pricing for market dynamics and maximizing for demand is an art and a science, and if done incorrectly, can lead to slow sell through or stalled projects.
5.
Without a comprehensive, fully integrated marketing strategy, branding feels lifeless, lacking energy and enthusiasm

Testimonials
"CHARLESGATE was a fantastic partner on BRIX Salem, a 61 unit condo development. With their easy-to-implement sales system and modern marketing strategy, we were able to extend our local market expertise to reach a much wider buyer pool and close sales at BRIX dramatically faster than would have been otherwise possible."

Testimonials
"CHARLESGATE was a great partner in the development of The Aberdeen from start to finish. Their marketing and sales plan was appropriately targeted from the outset and resulted in a full building sellout ahead of schedule. CHARLESGATE seamlessly took over management of the condominium association to fully transition the project to a self-sustaining community."

Testimonials
“I own 13 units in four buildings, all located in different areas of MA and RI. CHARLESGATE assisted me in various ways across all 4 locations. My first encounter with CHARLESGATE was six years ago, with a purchase. I never liked the idea of not being directly involved in managing my properties, and they worked with me. It didn't take long to see the value in what they offer: Peace of mind."
Vincent Spadea
Property Owner
Testimonials
"Susan made us feel comfortable from the beginning. She is prompt, communicative, and a joy to work with. She took time to answer our questions thoroughly, staging our house beautifully to entice potential buyers, continuously addressing our concerns, and posing options, while accommodating us to maintain our lives. Once Susan deemed our home was ready for the market, it shined! Her goal was our goal - selling our home for the best purchase price.”

“CHARLESGATE has been invaluable. I no longer have the stress of managing my own property, getting bills paid, or repairs made. I first came across CHARLESGATE through clients of mine who were using them to manage their properties. I signed on with them shortly after seeing the results. Knowing that I can call the CHARLESGATE team at any time to discuss future planning, answer tenant questions, and anything else that comes up, has been key.”
