A real estate boutique
Independent and relentlessly responsive
As a small, principal-led, quarter-zip wearing firm, our size affords us the ability to actually do what we say we’re going to do. No kidding. Small is our preference and our in-house capabilities are in no way compromised. Too much overhead spooks us. It should spook you too. After all, who do you think ends up paying for it?

The hotshots
Great advice. Better instincts.
We are committed to the basic ideal that if we’re not all engaged and working toward a common goal, then we’ve totally missed the point of being in business together.

Our mission
Deal execution is kind of our deal
Our mission is precision, simplicity, transparency, and results. Offering a rare blend of technological, financial, and transactional savvy, Somerstone routinely achieves exceptional outcomes for our investment real estate clients. Over 80 years of combined experience has taught us some very important things about how best to build a great and lasting real estate organization.
Core values
We get that our clients aren't looking for hassles. Coincidentally, neither are we.
Knowing that we won't land clients because of brand recognition, we work hard to differentiate ourselves. In doing so, we’ve put some thought into what best defines our core values as a company and as individuals. Here’s what we’ve come up with so far.

Be accountable: Own it
-
Be proactive: Take action
-
Be intuitive: Make the decision
-
Be professional: Serve and leadership follows
-
Be smart: Knowledge makes a difference
-
Be trustworthy: Honesty and integrity always
-
Be talented: Skills are vital to success
-
Be positive: Optimism is contagious
-
Be passionate: Indifference never closes deals
-
Be transparent: Communicate everything
-
Be lucky: Talent only goes so far
