WE REPRESENT CLIENTS, NOT DEALS.
DEODATE is not a CRE brokerage. We are one of the largest advisory and execution firms focused exclusively on real estate.
We offer the specific advisory capability that determines strategic outcomes. All advisory. No brokerage. No conflicts.
DEODATE is a fee-only real estate advisory and execution firm operating across five divisions: Valuation, Construction and Project Management, Strategic Advisory, Government and Corporate Real Estate, and Portfolio Optimization. We are not a brokerage. We engage the client and their portfolio, not for the transaction. We are not a strategy consultant. We don’t deliver a report and leave. We are technical experts who advise and execute across the full real estate lifecycle. The person who pitches is the person who works.
Every DEODATE engagement is led by a senior practitioner. You are not paying for a Big 4 overhead structure or training a second-year associate. You are accessing 100+ years of collective institutional expertise, from practitioners who hold MBAs, advanced engineering degrees, and credentials from Pepperdine, Columbia, NYU Schack, Wharton, Purdue, and UCLA, applied directly to your problem by the people who show up in the room.
We represent clients. Not deals.

National Bank · Southern California
A Texas-based national bank identified increased financial risk on a multi-million dollar commercial loan portfolio secured by Southern California properties. The borrower had failed to complete agreed property improvements, raising default risk and regulatory exposure.
DEODATE conducted a data-driven analysis of the borrower's property portfolio, verified payment status, assessed civic delay claims through public agency expertise, and engaged directly with the borrower as a neutral third party to encourage compliance.
Fortune 500 Logistics · Los Angeles County
A Fortune 500 logistics conglomerate faced forced relocation from a strategically located LA County storage yard due to stricter local government enforcement of use permit violations. Relocation would have severed proximity to ports, rail lines, and highways.
DEODATE mediated between the client, their landlord, and LA County government. Leveraging deep expertise in conditional use permits, zoning law, and public sector negotiation, the team facilitated productive dialogue and secured a new conditional use permit.
Regional Law Firm · Southern California & Multi-State
A respected Southern California law firm sought to expand into new markets while maintaining high profit margins. Rising CRE costs, competition from larger national firms, and a lack of internal data science capability created significant site selection risk.
DEODATE built a proprietary KPI framework drawing on income levels, population density, traffic counts, competitor proximity, acquisition targets, and legislative analysis. These datasets were mapped against the firm's established performance benchmarks.
Food Manufacturer · Los Angeles MSA & National
One of the largest privately held US snack food manufacturers faced an immediate crisis — refrigerated shipping containers were en route with no available food-grade space to receive them, with only 20 days to resolve.
DEODATE identified and negotiated a sublease in a refrigerated facility adjacent to the client's existing property within the 20-day window, then became embedded as the client's fractional CRE team addressing portfolio optimization and $60M in debt restructuring.
Non-Profit Clinical Group · Multi-State, United States
A regional non-profit clinical group with approximately 48 US locations sought to expand to 100 facilities nationally. Expansion was stalling due to insufficient market intelligence on untapped geographies.
DEODATE completed a full portfolio assessment identifying leaders and laggards, then built a comprehensive KPI framework covering population demographics, income levels, traffic counts, competitor proximity, and regulatory forecasting.
Restaurant Group · Southwestern United States
A Hollywood-based restaurant group sought to expand from a handful of locations to approximately 12 across the Southwestern US. In a low-margin industry with rising CRE costs and post-pandemic volatility, undisciplined site selection posed an existential risk.
DEODATE applied a data-driven site selection methodology using income demographics, population density, traffic counts, competitor proximity, supply chain logistics, and regulatory analysis to establish a KPI set aligned to the group's historical performance.
LA Grocery Retailer · Los Angeles MSA & Multi-State
A Los Angeles-based small-format grocery retailer identified an opportunity to expand its portfolio by 5 to 11 units per year. Without a qualitative and quantitative site selection strategy, the expansion carried significant financial risk.
DEODATE built a holistic site selection strategy using decades of lease negotiation and CRE portfolio management experience, mapping KPIs including demographics, traffic, competitor proximity, and supply chain logistics against the client's established performance history.
Parking Group · West Coast, Midwest & Southeast United States
One of the largest privately held airport and CBD parking groups in the US faced significant COVID-driven underutilization across a $200M+ portfolio of more than 10 million square feet. Remote work trends and retail closures compounded the challenge.
DEODATE completed a full portfolio analysis and built a diverse peripheral use strategy covering short- and mid-term parking optimization, cross-asset utilization, alternative revenue streams, and debt communication strategy. DEODATE served as the fully outsourced fractional CRE team.
Life Sciences Corporation · Southern California
A leading Southern California life sciences corporation occupied two of four buildings on a large campus, separated by a third property held by another tenant. Acquiring that property was critical to unifying data infrastructure, but negotiations had stalled and become adversarial.
DEODATE conducted a full portfolio and market assessment, identified cost-saving opportunities for both landlord and tenant, and re-engaged negotiations as a trusted neutral advisor, securing a long-term lease at favorable terms.
Transportation Agency · Southern California
A large Southern California transportation agency needed to navigate the procedurally complex Surplus Land Act process to achieve compliant land disposition. Failure carried risk of financial loss and operational disruption.
DEODATE provided strategic advisement and full SLA program management, leading all negotiations and communications with developers as directed by California HCD, implementing a robust tracking and documentation system throughout.
School District · Southern California
Southern California school districts facing accelerating enrollment decline needed immediate revenue solutions for underutilized properties. Lengthy statutory sales processes under the California Ed Code left districts without near-term options to monetize vacant assets.
DEODATE identified a Fortune 500 energy company in need of temporary parking during a five-year campus expansion and negotiated a three-year lease of unused school property, generating immediate General Fund revenue with zero impact to students.
