Testimonials
We chose the GVA and Teel StratVisor team out of a strong field of competing providers because of their strategic advisory experience, complementary competencies, passion for helping companies achieve top performance and detail in their models and approach. They completed a portfolio and operations strategy for National Grid, and identified significant potential one-time savings , in addition to identifying nearly double the amount of annual operating savings from our own internal reviews. They also developed a detailed three-year roadmap of initiatives to help us realize these savings. We would highly recommend their services to other companies.

Recently, Rainier Capital Management has engaged StratVisor to design and implement an accounting and investor reporting infrastructure for various real estate and corporate entities. Their insight to accounting and its application to real estate and investor reporting created a design proving to be ahead of traditional models.
StratVisor is highly respected by real estate professionals and they not only continue to deliver the highest quality work product but strives to refer others when specific expertise is necessary.

StratVisor assisted my company in a consulting and advisory assignment for Verizon Wireless in which they performed organization and portfolio analysis across approximately 6M SF of General & Administrative and Call Center space. Subsequently they made recommendations for optimization of the CRE structure and the physical real estate - of which the implementation of the recommendations would have generated an anticipated savings of $80M.
I have been thoroughly impressed with StratVisor's professionalism, integrity, and demeanor. The quality of work that they produced has been excellent.

Teel StratVisor Group has provided superior consulting services through practical solutions and innovative approaches. Our customer service program was going nowhere.

Lorraine Teel and I worked together in the early 1990s on the asset management and disposition of 120 properties and loans in locations throughout the US that were owned by 90 limited partnerships. Lorraine was always very professional, bright, practical and thorough. We could not have achieved success with the portfolio without her.
