Prefer to talk?
Every decision still routes back to you.
You have a day job or a business to run, and a growing set of properties, entities, partners, lenders, managers and a CPA. Nobody sees the whole picture, so every question, approval and fire lands on your desk. The portfolio grows, but so does the time it takes from you.
One senior person at the center, part-time.
I sit at the center of your real estate and take ownership of four things:
Hard problems
A stuck sale, a partner issue, a refinance, a buyer who can't fund. I come back with several workable options, not one.
Deals and capital
I source and vet opportunities and place capital on your behalf.
The team
I assemble and direct the property managers, contractors, lenders and advisors who do the work, and hold them accountable.
Reporting
AI-driven dashboards and reports (portfolio matrix, debt service coverage, quarterly reporting, due-diligence files) so you see everything without living in it.
Built for owners who are stretched thin
- Principals with a day job or operating business and real estate across several properties or entities
- Families and family offices with real-estate-heavy portfolios and no in-house real estate lead
- Owners facing a decision they've been sitting on: a sale, a refinance, a partner question, a portfolio clean-up
Not a fit: anyone looking for a property manager, leasing agent or bookkeeper.

25 years on both sides of the table
Nate founded Peak 10 Group in 2004 and has spent more than 25 years buying, building and operating real estate. For the past several years he has also been the capital allocator for his own family's real-estate-heavy portfolio, weighing liquidity, tax efficiency and long-term returns the way a family office does. He runs that portfolio's reporting on an AI-driven stack he built himself: a real-estate-owned matrix, a debt service coverage dashboard, automated quarterly reporting, a due-diligence database and KPI dashboards.

Questions
What's a Fractional Chief Real Estate Officer?
A senior real estate lead who works for you part-time. I sit at the center of your portfolio (hard problems, deals and capital, the team, reporting) without the cost of a full-time executive.
Do you manage my properties day to day?
No. Your property managers, contractors and advisors keep doing the work. I direct them, hold them accountable and make sure you can see everything.
Do you invest my money, or your own?
Capital is placed on your behalf, for your goals. I don't invest my own money in client deals.
How is billing handled?
Engagements are contracted and billed through Peak 10 Group. The Diagnostic is a fixed fee; retainers are billed monthly.
Do you take deal fees or equity?
Only case by case, when it fits a specific deal, and only after it has been reviewed by attorneys and CPAs. The default is a straightforward monthly retainer.
