Commercial Redefined is the division of Redefined Realty Advisors LLC which focuses on providing tailored brokerage and advisory solutions for business owners & investors to help them achieve their commercial real estate goals.
CRE brokerage is a service and, more so, a commodity. When you’re in the commodity business, it is important to understand that you cannot differentiate yourself on either price or customer service. The efficiency of the market does not allow for a “low cost” provider to exist as the competition will react quickly. More so, if you do not provide exceptional customer service all the time you won’t be in business very long as consumers now demand this high level of care in every interaction. So how does one succeed in a commodity business? Simple, you must find a way to truly add value to your customer. This is accomplished by understanding the business they’re in and how you can make decisions relating to their business easier and more profitable for them.
As outlined below, the team at Commercial Redefined possesses a varied, but CRE centric, background which forms the basis of why we are different. Our knowledge and experience, gained by holding positions outside of real estate brokerage, gives us the unique perspective needed to understand our client’s business and, thus, the ability to truly add value when helping them with their commercial real estate needs. From site selection, feasibility analysis & initial underwriting to financing, construction & leasing, we’ve done it all.
As a client of Commercial Redefined, you will be able to tap into this experience and utilize our knowledge base to address your commercial real estate needs in the most efficient and profitable way possible. Commercial Redefined is not just a brokerage company, it’s a commercial real estate advisory firm whose principals can add value because we truly understand your business.
Kurt Andrae
Managing Director
Commercial RedefinedCommercial Real Estate has been the focal point for the vast majority of Kurt’s 25+ year career. He has generated over $2 Billion of CRE loan facilities as a commercial lender for various banks while also having created over 300 residential lots and a commercial center as a private developer. This is in addition to his experience as president of a start-up bank, as well as a small business owner, both of which required him to locate, negotiate, lease and build out space appropriate for the particular venture. Kurt earned his BBA in finance from UW-Whitewater and his MBA in Finance (Real Estate emphasis), Marketing & Organizational Behavior from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern.
Bob Tarantino
President
Commercial RedefinedBack in the late 80’s I got my professional start in the Commercial Lending industry. As a graduate of UW-Whitewater, I was fortunate to be accepted into an Internship Program between the school and a local bank. That opened the door to an internship at a bank in Chicago, and ultimately a commercial lending career at the old M&I Bank.
Over time, my career evolved into much more than just lending, as real estate sales became a passion. So 30+ years later I can offer my clients more than just expertise when purchasing a commercial property, I can guide them to the right lender that understands the nature of the property they want to buy and has lending flexibility that adapts to fit their business model. It’s this experience on both sides of the table that really does make a difference.
On a day to day basis, I spend a lot of time structuring and reviewing contracts. While I understand the necessities of the legal process, a handshake still means a lot to me. I consider myself an advisor, a relationship manager, and a confidant in each and every transaction. Having your business is very important to me. But having your respect and trust is ultimately my goal.
If and when the opportunity arises, I hope you consider the Commercial Division of Redefined Realty as your next business partner. Thanks for taking some time to visit our website – I hope to talk with you soon!
