Gerld Hiebert LLC is familiar with the Treasure Coast and Orlando from owning businesses and properties in the area.
LOCATION: As an entrepreneur Gerald Hiebert has owned and run many Florida businesses ranging from the trades, hospitality, recycling, construction and retail businesses. Let us help walk you through the process and give valuable insight into the Florida market. A business in Downtown Melbourne or Palm Bay will be different from beachside businesses in Indialantic, Indian harbour or Satellite Beach. They are also different from Cocoa Beach or the Cape Canaveral area. Having a well seasoned local guide is a must. Give us a call to set up an appointment today.
WE SPECIALIZE IN:
Commercial Real Estate: Commercial Properties is normally a complicated discussion. What does well in one economy may not fair well in another. There are more than the three golden rules of property buying. Make sure the real estate is diversified to survive in any market. Be sure to buy low and sell high and beware of upcoming repairs and infrastructure issues. Keep a reserve that is adequate. Look for long term tenants with good business plans and skills, while keeping the occupancy high. When selling you want an active agent who will market in creative ways. Most businesses that come with real estate are better for long term stability, however owning property and relocating a business to the property is a teriffic strategy. Most businesses we have owned were placed there to pay off the real estate. Whatever your strategy is we can help with insight and connections. Give us a call and we can discuss our approach for your properties.
BUSINESS SALES AND AQUISITION: We have a very robust amount of experience with businesses. Let us assist you with the vast information that we have acquired. Financials are not the only important lesson. Equally important are trends in the industry, inventory usefullness, employee non competes, equipment, condition and whether things are outdated (even if it’s new), productivity percentages to calculate growth potential, administration ability, etc. When buying it is good to have a second set of eyes and when selling you’ll need someone who can handle seeing the objections and guide the sale to a quick and profitable conclusion. Our sweet spot is between $1-$5 million with real estate or without. If you need someone to buy your business but there is only enough work for the owner, we may be able to help guide you into a partnership where you can buy something for the time and effort you put into building it. These structures are more of a work out arrangement, with the owner available for sales calls and committed to helping the business succeed over 2 to 3 years. We have been working on this concept since many people seem to lack someone to take over their business when retiring. It can be difficult to sell a job, especially when there is a client attrition.
Call us and we can see about fullfilling your needs.
REO and Investor properties in the residential market is an additional area of focus. Finding properties with equity or creating the equity through rehabs are different from buying and receiving cash flow from them. Gerald Hiebert is a Certified Building Contracor as well as a broker and can help with all phases. There are always REO properties available and these are great for stability. As an investor Gerald has been using these strategies for decades and enjoys the fun of the chase! Let us help find you diamonds in the rough or turnkey peroperties for your portfolio.
The following refers to Gerald’s experience which relates to the 3 focus points above:
He worked construction in the family business before they enforced labor laws before he could hold a shovel. His family was rather poor so he quit school at 15 to work full time and left home when he was young and learned how to work for piece rate, which led him into the business world. He started his first company at 21, had 3 employees and bought his first house when he was 22. He then started with his first real estate lot at 23 and purchased a building for his company at 25. He’s always paid the bills with profitable businesses and used real estate for long term gains (lots, acreage, rental houses). Gerald has had up to 400 employees at one time and has made a conscious decision to keep his companies in the $1-$2 Mill range.
Today he owns a bar/restaurant with real estate, electrical, plumbing and air conditioning companies, a locksmth service, warehouses, offices, a recycling company and both commercial and residential construction specializing in windows and doors. Since obtaining his brokers license Gerald has decided to step back and help others with their needs and now concentrates on the consulting and management of real estate as a broker. He is now able to do more of what he loves! We like to focus on management and investment properties and overseeing projects and helping investors meet their portfolio needs.
