General Representation

Acquisition & Sales
Through our affiliates, we have the resources to 'pocket list' your property, create an analytical package, and show it to our clients who are always interested in purchasing special properties that are 'not listed.' Conversely, due to our extensive client network, we are able to find those special properties that specifically meet the needs of our owner clients.

Additional Advisory Services

Focustar Capital represents clients as their 'contract CFO' for project specific transactions. Many of our clients are savvy developers who find themselves with great relationships to capital but without the new tools in this 'new normal' world of finance to continue representing themselves as stridently as before. They rely upon us to plan, structure, underwrite, model, and present their projects to audiences with whom they have built trusted relationships over the years. Think of us as the lawyer's lawyer!

Development Services

Focustar Capital has affiliates in every sector of the project development world including the finest land planners, market study analysts, appraisers, project managers, architects, engineers, licensed and bondable contractors, Certified Public Accountancy and Legal firms. Whatever the challenge, we have an experienced professional strategic alliance partner ready to join the team.

Professional Referrals

Focustar Capital has built its reputation through the confidence placed in us by our clients and from their referrals and through referrals from, CPAs, Esq., appraisers, market study analysts, engineers, and banks.
