Our consulting model utilizes our proprietary OH WOW software to provide the most accurate information based on market research and data. Our approach provides true best-in-class service to our clients and ensures consistency in strategy and service delivery.
Our consulting experience is supported by a complement of resources specifically tailored to meet your requirements. Our advice is based on detailed quantitative analysis supplemented with the art of understanding the nuances of the local markets. Harshman & Company’s extensive experience, analytical capabilities, and business relationships can help you develop a comprehensive solution for your real estate needs.
What truly differentiates Harshman & Company from other commercial real estate brokerages, however, is an in-house, proprietary computer software database that is continually updated with information from public records, personal interviews and other sources on thousands of properties in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte counties. Through both aerial photographs and two-dimensional mapping, clients can uniquely experience the city’s growth, understand its history and determine where the market may be heading all from a clear birds eye view.
Developed over the course of the past twenty years and presented on a state-of-the-art, 80-inch television monitor, the firm’s color-coded database offers unique intelligence and market research on sales, proposed and failed projects, ownership and other data spanning retail, office, hospitality, multi-family residential and industrial projects.
The database also contains material on property zoning, overlay districts, future land use and the locations of area schools, hospitals, parks and other critical institutions that can be critical to a client’s decision-making process.
