Investor/ Client Feedback on my website AWcommercial wanted

[Joel Owens]

Hey everyone,

My website is getting close to completion.

Please look at my signature line for the website to review.

My site works on serving 2 objectives.

1. Working closely with commercial sellers and direct buyers.

2. Passive investors to invest in commercial real estate with me being a sponsor on the projects.

The videos I will be uploading one video a day answering viewers question on commercial real estate investing.

Any constructive feedback or things you might like to see appreciated.

Thanks everyone I enjoy the comments.

What my niche is really is sellers of commercial real estate but also buyers.

A specialty is taking first time buyers and educating them on the process. These are investors that might be liquidating stocks, sold a business, wanting to move from another asset class but know nothing about commercial etc.

I spend time with them and help them to accomplish their goals.

I am not trying to compete with the CBRE's of the world and I do not have to. Those are multi billion dollar companies doing "soup to nuts" services for clients. Those are often REIT's etc.

I do not want a lot of overhead. I want to stay lean and mean and have my own investment directly, working with buyers to purchase directly, and do syndications for value add retail.

The larger brokerages tend to have teams of agents that just push listings and say "buy, buy, buy" without telling the buyer why it would be a deal or a dog. I get it but buyers should have representation. In commercial it's not a few k mistake like with buying a house for investment. We are talking hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars type mistakes that can happen if you buy wrong.

For transactions  people get me the principal broker one on one. They do not get thrown to the new agent at the firm and see what happens. I want to provide very high quality service with each transaction more so than pushing volume with mediocre attention to details.

As for putting properties closed out there and the details of those properties my clients wouldn't really feel comfortable sharing that information. Some projects are mid development and information is proprietary in nature.  These clients some have extraordinary wealth and are very private.

I have talked to a securities attorney and he told me I could advertise in videos and other places with a specific criteria to follow. There is a higher level of vetting the accreditation of investors for passive investing when you do this.

I am thinking of putting an example of what a sample offering would look like in .pdf format added to the passive investors page.

The website is still a work in process. I do have great business but of course I want to keep building something to be proud of. If you are not constantly evolving then you are limiting yourself of what you are capable of.

The videos I will put on You tube and my website. I could also put it on my bigger pockets member blog. I will answer a question a day and talk for about 3 to 4 minutes in the video.

This website just finished today so for videos I am just getting my equipment. I am fixing to buy a commercial retail building and house one of my workers there for database entry and also have a specific room for recording videos.

Tony do you have a sample website that has an illustration example of what you are talking about? I am more of a visual person.
