The Problem.

You’ve built a commercial real estate portfolio worth $20 million, $50 million - maybe even $150 million to $200 million. You've made smart decisions. You took calculated risks. You earned every dollar of equity in every property you own.

Now you make capital allocation decisions worth millions of dollars, negotiate loan terms that will define your cash flow for a decade or longer, evaluate acquisitions that could double your portfolio - or destroy it - and manage dispositions where the wrong timing can cost you seven figures. You make these decisions constantly. And you make most of them without a dedicated CRE financial officer watching your portfolio - as a dedicated Fiduciary.

The broker who sold you the deal … has a commission check to protect.
The lender structuring your loan serves the bank, and the bank’s appraiser serves your lender … but neither serve you.
Your CPA understands taxes … not deal structure, cap rate compression, lease rollover risk, stressed capital stacks, maturity defaults, or negative leverage.
Your attorney handles contracts … not financial strategy.
Your wealth advisor manages your liquid assets … but they don’t touch, nor know, anything nuanced about your commercial real estate.

No one in your current advisory circle has the expertise, the independence, the autonomy, and the obligation to tell you the truth about your portfolio - as a dedicated Fiduciary.

Not the “convenient truth.”

Not the “optimistic truth.”

The “actual truth.”

That gap between what you need and what your current advisors provide is where catastrophic mistakes happen. One bad acquisition. One missed refinancing window. One lease renewal you did not scrutinize enough. One capital call for which you were not prepared. The cost of a single unforced error on a $50 million portfolio is not $50,000. It is $5 million. Or more.

Or your lost control of an asset. Or even your reputation.

No one ever wants to look stupid.

You already know this.

You have seen it happen to other investors, or worse - you may have even lived it yourself.

The Solution.

HAUTE Real Estate Capital provides Fractional Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") services exclusively for commercial real estate portfolios.

Gregory J. Laskody - a former MAI-designated and State-Certified General Appraiser and General Appraiser Instructor, a former Certified Commercial Investment Member ("CCIM") of the CCIM Institute, and former adjunct professor of real estate valuation and finance - serves as your dedicated "Fractional CRE CFO."

He brings over 30 years of hands-on experience across every CRE discipline: appraisal, investment banking, CRE investment sales and related realty capital brokerage, private equity, private credit, and CRE capital stack workouts and restructurings. And all without the restrictions and "hand-cuffing" associated with regulatory bodies, of which he is no longer involved. All you get is honest, ethical, transparent, and smart real-time solutions.

He has been involved in over $3.0 billion spread over 500 CRE transactions throughout his 30-year-plus career, and across all property types and capital structures.

You get the expertise and rigor of a $300,000-per-year CRE Chief Financial Officer at a fraction of that cost - with zero overhead, zero long-term employment commitment, and complete flexibility to scale your engagement as both your portfolio and your investment strategies evolve ... ALL as a dedicated Fiduciary protecting your interests.

Every recommendation is independent.
Every analysis is conflict-free.
HAUTE does not sell properties, originate loans, or earn commissions on any transactions.
HAUTE does not compete with any of your commission-based brokers or advisors.

The only interest served is yours.

That is what "CRE Decision Insurance" looks like.

Results That Speak.

What some of our Clients are saying about us ...

"Fractional CRE CFO" Testimonials.

"We were managing 11 properties across three states with no centralized reporting and no independent financial oversight. Within 60 days of engaging Greg, we had complete portfolio visibility for the first time in 15 years. He identified $1.8 million in deferred maintenance we had been under-reserving for, and caught a lease renewal that would have cost us $320,000 annually if we had not renegotiated from strength. We will never manage this portfolio without him again."

- Family Office Principal, Carolinas | Fractional CFO Client

"I thought I was managing my portfolio fine on my own. Greg showed me three capital structure inefficiencies in our first month that were costing me over $200,000 a year in unnecessary debt service. I had no idea. That single finding paid for two years of his retainer before we even got to the second monthly report."

- Private Investor, South Florida | Fractional CFO Client

"Pre-Decision Review" Testimonials.

"Our group was under contract on a $16 million industrial acquisition. The broker's numbers looked solid. Greg's independent analysis revealed that the two largest tenants had lease termination options the broker never disclosed, and the environmental Phase I had been conducted by a firm with a conflict of interest. We renegotiated $2.3 million off the purchase price and required a new Phase I before closing. Best $5,000 we have ever spent."

- Syndication Sponsor, Texas | Pre-Decision Review Client

"I almost committed $9 million to a retail property based on projected rents that turned out to be 18% above what the submarket could actually support. Greg's analysis showed me the real numbers and recommended I walk away. Six months later, the property sold to another buyer at $6.4 million. He saved me from a $2.6 million mistake."

- HNW Investor, Northeast U.S. | Pre-Decision Review Client

"Ad Hoc CRE Advisory" Testimonials.

"We manage a $120 million book of CRE mortgage loans and needed independent asset surveillance on 14 underperforming credits. Greg delivered desktop reviews on the entire portfolio in three weeks - each one thorough enough for our credit committee and our regulators. He is now our standing outside analyst for any CRE exposure that needs a second look."

- VP of Special Assets, Community Bank | Ad Hoc Advisory Client

"We had a client going through a complex divorce involving $22 million in commercial real estate across four entities. Our firm handles the legal work, but we had no one who could independently value the assets and explain the capital structures to the court. Greg provided the valuation analysis, partnership interest allocations, and a written opinion we submitted directly into evidence. His work changed the outcome of the settlement."

- Family Law Attorney, Florida | Ad Hoc Advisory Client

"Expert Witness & Litigation Support" Testimonials.

"The opposing side retained an MAI with 20 years of experience. We retained Greg. His cross-disciplinary background - appraisal, investment banking, brokerage, private equity, and workouts - gave him a depth of real-world transaction knowledge the opposing expert could not match. Under cross-examination, Greg did not flinch. The arbitrator adopted his valuation methodology in the final ruling, and our client received $3.1 million more than the initial settlement offer."

- Commercial Litigation Attorney, Florida | Expert Witness Client

"This was a lender liability case involving a $14 million construction loan that never should have been funded. We needed an expert who could opine on origination standards of care, borrower qualification, and project feasibility - all in one person. Greg covered all three. His written report was 40 pages of detailed analysis, and his testimony connected every dot for the jury in plain language. The verdict came back in our client's favor."
