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