ACCOUNTABILITY The Special Properties Group combines world-class brokerage services with a unique understanding of the significant impact these facilities have on the local economy and community. We know that to the surrounding community, these properties are not simply buildings. To the local residents and municipalities, these properties are truly special. They are a source of livelihood, economic growth and community pride. For the residents, these properties represent a place where neighbors, friends and family work. For the municipalities, they represent a business that pays taxes allowing the community to thrive and provide services and infrastructure to its citizens. The Special Properties Group understands all of this, and brings a unique level of passion and sensitivity to the traditional real estate brokerage process. Our group members choose to specialize in this niche and thus have a truly personal interest in successfully transitioning these properties to a new owner or new use, or a combination of both.
