Judd Clarence, Broker/Builder

In addition to comparable sales and current real estate market conditions, Judd Clarence evaluates property based on replacement cost, construction reality, and future development possibility. As both a top-producing luxury broker and a licensed general contractor, he brings a dual lens that is uncommon in this market: the ability to see what a property is worth today and what it can become.

Pricing, negotiations and execution all informed by building and development economics give Judd's clients a distinct advantage in a highly competitive market.

One Principal, Continuous Accountability

The conventional model separates the broker from the builder. The result is often fragmented accountability, conflicting incentives, and value left on the table.

Here, the process remains continuous and congruous:

  • Source and vet an expanded range of opportunities
  • Negotiate from a position of construction knowledge
  • Initiate design concepts before close
  • Close with confidence
  • No lag time to construction process
  • final finished asset whose performance matches the original thesis.
