About Blue Water Realty Advisors

Blue Water Realty Advisors was formed to give clients a more personalized commercial real estate relationship with their broker or advisor. Too often clients get pushed off to other team members or less experienced people at the firm and they feel as if they are just another client.

We offer a very “hands-on” treatment to every client, every transaction, to every meeting, and to every phone call. Experience and Trust is what sets us apart. We add value and give advice with a long term relationship in mind. We don’t just offer advice, we offer real world solutions, and results!
