INVESTOR TESTIMONIALS
As an investor in various properties, CIRE is at the top of the list when it comes to a trusted partner with the expertise and mindset you want when entrusting your money to a real estate investment company. They take a conservative approach and continue to exceed expectations year after year.
CIRE’s return profile is positive and their management of commercial real estate is definitely above average. The opportunities they have capitalized is high as the quality of the people involved. Those are their two highest characteristics and those are things that me as a private investor, I can’t replicate.
CIRE has an institutional discipline and an entrepreneurial spirit. They spend a lot of time being mindful about downside. I have been with CIRE since their very first investment in 2010 and invested with them all the way out through the cycle and I have watched them grow as a company.
