Site Selection

Navigating Complex Real Estate with a Trusted Expert

Securing the right site is one of the most critical factors in long-term growth. With our proprietary ForeSite Methodology™, we analyze traffic patterns, consumer behavior, demographic profiles, and competitor saturation to deliver pinpoint location recommendations down to the exact intersection.

Having helped credit unions and community banks obtain more than $1 billion in real estate, we’re experts at identifying, negotiating, and acquiring the right site for you. In fact, more than 70% of the real estate we secure has never even been listed on the market.

You can fix a floor plan. You can update the tech. But you can’t fix a bad location."

Streamlining the Real Estate Acquisition Process

Our real estate experts manage every detail of branch acquisition with precision. We simplify the process by protecting your identity, negotiating directly with property owners, developing an all-in acquisition cost, and serving as your single point of contact from first analysis to final contract.

  • Strategic Site Identification
    Using proprietary market data and mobile movement analysis, we pinpoint ideal locations based on real-world behavior, customer density, traffic patterns, and growth potential—not just zip codes.
  • Site Plan Feasibility Analysis
    We evaluate zoning, visibility, access, traffic flow, parking, utility infrastructure, and overall build feasibility, providing you with confidence in your investment before you commit.
  • Purchase & Lease Negotiation
    Whether buying or leasing, we negotiate on your behalf, veiling your identity so you avoid price inflation and gain stronger bargaining power.
  • Due Diligence Coordination & Execution
    We manage and streamline all due diligence activities, from environmental studies and title reviews to geotechnical assessments and utility coordination.
  • Jurisdictional Entitlements & Approvals
    We guide you through the complexities of municipal regulations, permitting, and entitlements—navigating local requirements to secure approvals and keep your project moving without costly delays.
