25 Years. Every Angle of the Business.
Most consultants know one side of the business. Keith Cotter knows all of them — and that difference shows up in the results.
Keith Cotter has spent 25 years working in and around multifamily real estate — not from a corporate office, but on the ground, inside properties, working directly with ownership, management teams, and residents.
That experience spans property management, real estate brokerage, construction and renovation, and direct investment. It means Keith can walk a property and see what a pure operations consultant misses, evaluate a capital need with the eye of someone who has managed renovations, and understand the financial pressure ownership is under because he has been on that side of the table too.
The result is a consulting approach that is practical, direct, and focused on what actually moves the needle — not what looks good in a report.
