O F F I C E DRE's Vivian Turok and Michael Divaris represent design firm Patton Harris Rust & Associates throughout the Mid-Atlantic Consistent Service is Central to Corporate Services Group VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA -- Divaris Real Estate’s Corporate Services Group differentiates itself from its competitors by taking a unique approach to client services.  “Our focus is to offer Corporate Services to companies that are looking for a provider that can offer comprehensive real estate services.  Our primary concern is to provide the most consistent level of service for our clients’ real estate needs,” says Michael Divaris, president of DRE. “We typically work on a client account as a team.  The team is comprised of seasoned professionals with a senior-level corporate services executive working, ‘hands-on,’ in all aspects of the assignment.  Our clients have real estate requirements throughout the United States and Canada,” Divaris explains. Over the past five years, DRE has completed 70 assignments across 29 states in the US and Canada totaling more than half a million square feet of real estate.  DRE provides extensive knowledge of individual markets, in-depth analysis of potential sites, thorough financial evaluations and proficient negotiating ability.  Negotiating a fair deal is key in establishing a strong landlord and tenant relationship. As Brett Womack, senior vice president of the Richmond office of Divaris Real Estate, Inc. says, “Of highest importance to the client is the overall impact of rental, capital improvements and moving expenses, as well as medium- to long-term sustainability of the real estate.” The first step in the corporate services process is to understand the client’s business and to create and implement real estate strategies that correspond to the client’s performance objectives.  DRE must account for the client’s requirements relative to business operations, its employee base and the transportation network to and from the facility. In seeking out new real estate, DRE must have a comprehensive understanding of the local real estate market.  The local knowledge component requires the appointment of a regional resource to provide the necessary real estate conditions and trends information.  Thereafter, a selection of potential locations is identified that meet the client’s criteria.  The Divaris team then prepares a comprehensive financial analysis, comparing the different proposals to ensure the client makes an informed decision. Divaris Real Estate is a principal member of two national groups of real estate professionals, Realty Resources and The Core Network.  Realty Resources primarily covers the retail sector of the industry and has 19 member companies covering 30 markets.  The Core Network, a 60-member group, covers 120 geographic markets.  National Real Estate Investor ranked The CORE Network number six among the Nation’s Top 25 Largest Commercial Real Estate Brokerages (NREI October 2001).  Divaris’ principals are on the board of directors of both national groups. “Once any transaction is complete, Divaris’ Lease Administration Division takes on the responsibility of maintaining a database of lease information which includes trigger dates of lease extensions, options, pass-through expenses and termination and extension options,” says Divaris. In addition, DRE provides lease auditing services which evaluate pass-through expenses and charges incorporated in the lease agreement. “All in all,” says Michael Divaris, “our success is predicated on the enduring relationships we build with our clients and providing for them an unparalleled level of cost-effective service.” Divaris Real Estate, Inc.
