"Chance favors only the prepared mind."

We couldn't agree more with this famous adage by Louis Pasteur. Not only does our experience prepare us-we've prospered through several challenging real estate cycles-our basic tack in all our endeavors is to have a clear, creative strategy in place before we act. We adhere strictly to each strategy and to the specific criteria we use in both acquiring and selling property. We make our decisions using comprehensive market research as well as our own extensive database. After all, there is a certain amount of risk involved in even the most conservative real estate investment, and our role is to minimize this risk.

"The true art of memory is the art of attention."

Put simply and informally-Seagate "creates value on the buy," because we know how to identify an opportunity, quantify the risk, and leveraging all of our experience, create value. We see opportunities where less innovative companies might not. When we suggest an investment to our clients we do so with foresight and confidence. We then creatively develop, manage, and when the time comes, sell a property with two or more of Seagate's Principals directly involved at all times. The result is our investments consistently out perform standard real estate industry benchmarks.
We agree with Samuel Johnson and believe that our years in the industry are valuable because we've always paid close attention-to our individual investments and to the marketplace as a whole. We look back to past cycles and trends and make truly informed decisions about the present-predicting, with confidence, where the demand is going to be and how to position ourselves to take advantage of current trends.

When you invest with Seagate, you work with a vested expert who knows exactly what's going on with your property. Investors benefit from Seagate's timely reports and performance updates. All this conscientious attention pays off as we consistently maximize returns for our investors.
We're ideal co-investors and have consistently provided our investors with annualized returns of over 18 percent. This kind of success has resulted in long, rewarding partnerships with our investors. Seagate is a rarity in that we offer the expertise of a large firm and the attentiveness and courage of a small firm. We move quickly and decisively. In fact, by targeting shorter investment horizons, we offer our investors a greater opportunity to reinvest their capital.
