Holt Lunsford Commercial
By: Arthur I Segel and John H. Vogel Jr.
Abstract
Holt Lunsford is debating how to grow his Dallas-based commercial real estate services firm and how to advise a long-time client who is wondering whether to lease or buy an industrial warehouse. Focuses on the highly competitive and increasingly institutionalized $50 billion real estate services industry, which encompasses property management, leasing, tenant representation, and other activities. What makes Lunsford's firm, The Holt Companies, special? Explores what corporate strategy Lunsford should choose for his firm, and what recommendation he should make to his client.
