Professional Service Activities
  • Team Leader, Counselors of Real Estate (CRE) Consulting Corps Assignment in Thomasville, Georgia – 2016
The Counselors of Real Estate (CRE) Consulting Corps provides real estate analysis and action plans for municipalities, not-for-profit organizations, government entities, educational institutions, and other nonprofit owners of real property. Casey led the volunteer Consulting Corps team, which was comprised of 5 CREs from various real estate professional disciplines around the country. The team spent a week in Thomasville, Georgia assisting the local municipality and leaders in defining a vision for the decommissioned Southwestern State Hospital, a former institutional mental health care facility. The team conducted interviews of local business and industry representatives, conducted property inspections, performed research, analyzed the market for the property, delivered an oral presentation to the client, and drafted a written report to the client. The report included a strategic plan with actionable steps that were focused on identifying the highest and best use for the property, creating a vision for the property compatible with the city’s other initiatives, recommending marketing strategies to promote the property, and addressing strategies to control, buy and/or finance the carrying costs of the property until the final re-development or adaptive re-use of the property is accomplished. Casey served as the team leader for this project. In addition to the six days and five nights spent in Thomasville working exclusively on this project, Casey spent approximately another 25 hours preparing, drafting, and editing the report.
