Albert Boyd - Broker at Delray One Realty<br />
Julie Ann Giachetti with Robert Guntmacher collaborating on a new project<br />
who believes there is opportunity in adversity.<br />
Boyd and Guntmacher have experience redeveloping projects<br />
with an outcome that benefits everyone involved. “I feel there’s<br />
an opportunity to improve property values, neighborhoods and<br />
the quality of life for those who live there.”<br />
This time honed knowledge is what Boyd and Guntmacher<br />
bring to Delray One Realty. That’s why everyone who knows<br />
them is adamant that they’re dealmakers and real estate savants<br />
who know how to capitalize on deals that may seem ordinary –<br />
but are not.<br />
Lawyer Philip B. Harris has seen this expertise as well. “Al has<br />
the ability to structure a deal – and look at property – when others<br />
see no value in. He also finds a way to structure a deal that<br />
makes money for his clients. I’ve seen him sell the same property<br />
several times.”<br />
The reason for this value-added proposition is pure genius on<br />
Boyd’s part. He sees real estate in a unique way and is clairvoyant<br />
about its ultimate destiny.<br />
“Delray One is the perfect place to look for real estate projects<br />
that suit specific client needs. Whether it’s a unique acquisition<br />
strategy, creative value-add plan or niche development projects,<br />
we will create a ‘Vision to Value’ plan for our investors.”<br />
If you are in the market for property to fulfill a 1031 Exchange<br />
look no further than Delray One Realty. They know what properties<br />
will meet your requirements and who to call to make it<br />
happen.<br />
They do this by knowing what’s for sale and who would be<br />
best benefited by buying it. “We go right to a seller to fulfill a<br />
1031X need for clients. We don’t go to listings or wait for the<br />
right deal to materialize. We know who to go to for the right opportunity<br />
at the right time.”<br />
Steven Michael of Hudson Holdings in Delray has seen this genius<br />
up close. “I have known Al to be very professional and hard<br />
working. He understands development and knows the business<br />
side very well. I have bought and sold properties through him.<br />
He knows his stuff.”<br />
Legend has it that Boyd has a habit of pushing through when<br />
most people give up. This military veteran (who has two sons<br />
in the military) understands that it takes a “commitment to the<br />
mission” to work through many of the challenges to creating<br />
value in development deals or income properties.<br />
Part of his business savvy in the real estate industry is Boyd’s<br />
dedication to relationships. He honors them as if they were heirlooms<br />
and keeps them close at hand. “I just want to do good<br />
business and build long term relationships. I have investors that<br />
have been with me for 30 years.”<br />
Perhaps one reason both Boyd and Guntmacher are so effective<br />
in communicating concepts is because they have seen the<br />
world. Boyd grew up in a military family and moved around the<br />
globe like a ping pong as a child. “I lived in Denmark, Germany,<br />
Holland, California, Connecticut and Boston.”<br />
Guntmacher also moved around for business and lived in Detroit,<br />
Cleveland, Chicago, NYC and San Francisco.<br />
Both men have a real passion for real estate - and the foresight<br />
and understanding of the industry - from the dirt to the development<br />
finish line.<br />
They welcome the opportunity to help investors exceed their<br />
expectations, and maybe change lives along the way.<br />
“We also contribute to charitable causes such as Little Smiles,<br />
the Marine’s Toys For Tots and others. It’s food for the soul and<br />
supports our shared humanity.”<br />
