Who We Are

We are a specialized commercial real estate firm focusing exclusively on representing tenants and buyers in the healthcare industry.

Healthcare Real Estate Experts

JHRE has a simple mission: to be an advocate for healthcare practices and provide intelligent solutions to their real estate requirements.

We work exclusively with healthcare companies, something 99% of other commercial real estate brokers can’t say. While others may occasionally dabble in healthcare, we focus solely on it. We are a specialized group of healthcare real estate experts working exclusively as Tenant Representatives for healthcare businesses to help them navigate commercial real markets, level the playing field against Landlords and their representatives, lower their occupancy costs and enable them to serve patients at a high level.

We are committed to providing the highest level of service for tenants and buyers of healthcare real estate, ensuring their interests and objectives are protected and fostering successful outcomes for their real estate requirements.

Specific Focus

HEALTHCARE ONLY

We work exclusively with healthcare businesses and practices, something 99% of other brokers can’t say.

Most Tenant Representatives focus on a product type (i.e. office, industrial, retail etc.,) and work with all kinds of tenants. We flip the equation: focusing only on healthcare tenants and working with all product types. Healthcare Real Estate is a unique subset of commercial real estate and medical tenants have very specific requirements. We exist to serve them.

NO PITCH TEAMS

We do not have Pitch Teams. The broker you hire is the broker you work with.

No bait-and-switch, no senior brokers handing you off to junior associates.

NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST

We work only with Tenants & Buyers, never with Landlords or Sellers.

We believe it is impossible to fairly and equitably represent two parties with opposing objectives.

We align exclusively with Tenants, leveling the playing field against professional Landlords and providing Tenants with the peace of mind of knowing they achieved the best possible lease terms.

FIDUCIARY DUTY

Our Fiduciary Duty to clients means every action we take must align with their objectives, interests and financial well-being. We are not simply negotiating lease rates, we are advising, protecting and promoting their objectives.

Significant Impact

SAVE TIME

The average medical real estate transaction requires dozens of dedicated hours identifying, negotiating, designing and constructing or renovating space, taking physicians away from patient care and interrupting business.  

​Additionally, many medical providers lack key market knowledge and data, reducing their leverage and options and giving the landlord a substantial advantage in negotiation.

SAVE MONEY

Real estate costs are often the 2nd highest expense for a medical practice. Your lease or purchase represents a substantial financial commitment and, often, a home to your business for a decade or longer. 

​Our process saves practices money by lowering real estate costs and maximizing lease concessions. ​

How much could we save your practice? Over the life of a lease and its renewals, hundreds of thousands of dollars or more.

PEACE OF MIND

We represent, protect and assist healthcare tenants navigating the complexities of commercial real estate negotiations.

By avoiding costly mistakes, complications, and delays that could burden a practice for years if they took a D.I.Y. approach to their real estate, we provide healthcare tenants peace of mind by ensuring they've explored the entire market, fully leveraged their tenancy, secured the best possible economic terms, and received a thoroughly negotiated and fair contract.
