Expert Witness & Litigation Support
Litigation consulting and expert support involving real estate disputes, brokerage standard-of-care issues, valuation review and critique, damages, and market analysis.
Specialized Consulting
Selective consulting on complex real estate matters.
In addition to private-client advisory work, ARC accepts a limited number of specialized consulting engagements involving complex real estate matters — accepted selectively, and only when ARC's experience can add meaningful value.
Brokerage Formation & Management Advisory
ARC helps select firms think through the business architecture of brokerage.
For developers, investment firms, property managers, family offices, land companies, and entrepreneurial brokers, creating or restructuring a brokerage platform raises questions about business model, compensation, supervision, risk, compliance, workflows, recruiting, training, and long-term enterprise value.
Led by Dr. Philip A. Seagraves, who teaches real estate brokerage management, ARC provides strategic advisory support for firms considering how to form, structure, improve, or reposition a real estate brokerage operation.
ARC does not provide legal advice or licensing opinions. Brokerage formation and compliance matters should be reviewed with appropriate legal counsel and state regulatory professionals. ARC's role is to help clients design the business, operational, supervisory, and strategic framework for a brokerage platform.
Real Estate Quarterback Services
Complex real estate decisions often involve more than one professional — a CPA, estate attorney, lender, appraiser, insurance advisor, qualified intermediary, surveyor, engineer, or property manager — but still lack someone responsible for connecting the real estate strategy across all of those conversations. ARC can fill that role: clarifying the objective, identifying the key questions, coordinating with the right professionals, and keeping the decision process aligned with the client's broader goals. ARC does not replace legal, tax, accounting, or investment counsel.
Development, Land & Investment Feasibility
Independent economic, market, and strategic analysis for projects requiring careful review of highest and best use, entitlement strategy, and investment assumptions.
