Advisory across office, retail, mixed-use, and hospitality — strategy, underwriting, and capital decisions grounded in how institutions actually evaluate real estate.
Festinger Advisors advises owners, investors, lenders, private equity, and family offices on commercial real estate decisions across office, retail, mixed-use, and hospitality. We bring an institutional lens to strategy, underwriting, and capital — the same discipline that governs how the most sophisticated capital evaluates an asset.
Robert Festinger brings more than 25 years across commercial real estate and hospitality, with $2 billion-plus in financing activity and more than $200 million in equity raised. That experience spans the full capital stack and informs every recommendation — whether the question is what to underwrite, when to hold, or how to position an asset for its next chapter.
We define the thesis behind each asset and portfolio — business plan, return drivers, and risk — so capital is deployed against a clear and defensible point of view.
We build and stress-test the underwriting that decisions rest on, modeling cash flow, leverage, and downside so the numbers reflect operating reality rather than optimism.
We provide an independent read on value, grounded in market evidence and comparable transactions, to inform pricing, financing, and negotiation across asset classes.
We weigh continued ownership against a sale, modeling future returns against current value and market conditions to clarify whether holding or exiting best serves the objective.
We advise on the right capital for the plan — debt, equity, and structure — and how to position an asset to attract it on the best available terms.
We shape leasing decisions at the asset level — tenant mix, rent, and term — connecting day-to-day leasing to the value the property is meant to deliver.
A commercial real estate advisor brings an independent, owner-aligned perspective to investment decisions. We underwrite assets, test strategy, provide a view on value, and counsel on whether to hold, sell, finance, or reposition. The role is to sharpen judgment with institutional discipline, not to sell a transaction or a predetermined outcome.
We advise across office, retail, mixed-use, and hospitality, including Class A office, luxury hotels and resorts, and branded residences. Working across asset classes lets us see how capital moves between them and where one sector's pricing or demand creates opportunity or risk for another.
We work with owners, investors, lenders, private equity, and family offices — capital that expects rigor and direct judgment. Engagements range from single-asset questions to portfolio-level strategy, and from acquisition underwriting to hold-versus-sell decisions and capital planning across South Florida and select national markets.
