The Value of Gathering
2023 Tempus Retreat
One could be forgiven for assuming that the secret to real estate investing lies in the assets you own. Indeed, assets are the focal point of much discussion within our industry. Where properties are located, their size, and their business purpose are all common topics. Certainly, properties themselves carry value, but at Tempus Realty Partners, we believe the true value in real estate stems from something more intangible. When seeking value in commercial real estate, no factor is more important than physical presence.
First, there is undeniable value in being present with the properties themselves. Real estate is a tangible asset you can see, touch, and experience. By visiting our properties, we better understand their unique features, potential challenges, and the communities they are a part of. This firsthand knowledge is invaluable for making informed decisions and strategies.
Similarly, meeting with our local partners in person provides us with insights that lead to success. These connections allow us to understand each market's unique challenges and opportunities and tailor our approach accordingly. These partnerships are built across a timeline of problems solved, challenges met, and successes celebrated. Each of these moments deepens the authenticity of our personal connections through togetherness.
It's no secret that the members of our team at Tempus Realty Partners are our most valuable asset. Bringing our team together allows us to connect on a deeper level, understand each other’s perspectives, and collaborate to create value in myriad ways. Not only are we more effective as a team when we’re together, but we also thrive individually as we experience genuine appreciation and respect from our colleagues.
We also find value in meeting with those who invest in our properties. It is a profound honor when someone chooses our firm to steward the capital they have allotted for their future. We understand that this capital represents the most precious plans of these investors, and we enjoy opportunities to meet with them, answer their questions, and assure them their capital is managed with the same care and commitment as our own. The mutual understanding from this personal connection fosters the right focus to deliver capital appreciation over the long term. Whenever possible, we prefer the personal connection that comes with meeting in person with those who trust their capital to us.
At Tempus, we believe in the power of human connection and the value of physical presence. Connecting our employees, investors, partners, and assets through persistent and meaningful presence is the real key to our success. And the best part is, it doesn’t just mean good business; it delivers lasting and meaningful relationships as well.
