BRES Breaks Through The Barriers: Block Multifamily Group

As Real Estate begins to emerge out of a tumultuous economic downturn, individuals seeking housing are less willing to buy and commit themselves to purchasing a house. Also, baby boomers are retiring out of the workforce, seeking condos and senior apartment living. While office, industrial and retail sometimes struggle with a weaker demand, a strong fundamental recovery in rental housing demand has propelled apartments to a broad recovery in occupancy, rental rates and investor pricing.

According to the Block Real Estate 2012 Market Report, “With more than 3 million foreclosures since 2009, profound shifts in demographic, economic and social patterns have changed the way many Americans, particularly those of the millennial generation, feel about home ownership. This, combined with the entry of the first wave of ‘echo boomers’ graduating from college, has resulted in the addition of an estimated 1.4 million renter households.” (Read more from the 2012 Multi-Family blog post).

This is where Bristol Properties came into the picture –to close the gap in the portfolio of service offerings at one of the most reputable, highly regarded real estate firms in the region.  Attention to detail, customer service and integrity -for clients, tenants, investors and employees are ideals that Bristol Properties and Block Real Estate Services (BRES) agreed upon for a foundation to success. It was evident that a partnership would thrive.
