Integrity. Knowledge. Process.
About
I deliver results because I place myself in my clients’ shoes. Acting as a fiduciary -- advising and investing with clients' best interests at heart— is what I am trained to do.
And I was trained by the best.
My University of Virginia degree in Finance led me to New York City and Bankers Trust. My MBA from Dartmouth’s Tuck School prepped me for the commercial real estate industry at Jones Lang LaSalle, where I developed and executed value-maximizing strategies for corporate America.
Today I combine my finance, marketing, and investing skills with my real estate expertise—to offer my commercial real estate clients an institutional quality of advisory and brokerage services.
Ultimately, they benefit from a proven process not readily available to owners of non-institutional properties.
If you’re ready to hear more about why it works,
let’s take the next step.
Services
Real Estate Advisory
Identifying Potential
Before any strategy can be developed, an owner must understand the attributes, potential and risks of their property. As your advisor, we develop a 360-degree understanding of the property as it exists, its re-development potential and the economics of each feasible scenario. We investigate physical attributes, zoning entitlements and what uses the market demands. Armed with this knowledge, you can act with clarity and confidence. Let's get started.
Property Disposition
Maximizing Value
There are critical ingredients to the successful sale of commercial property. We must identify, include and inform prospective buyers while creating a sense of competition among them. At Covington Commercial, we execute a comprehensive process -- consistent with institutional property sales -- that delivers outstanding results for our clients time and again. Let's talk about what we can do for you.
Property Acquisition
Picking Winners
Investors and users face a disorienting array of property choices. We specialize in canvassing the market to cull the most logical property candidates. Our in-depth analysis allows you to make apples-to-apples comparisons of every option that meets the criteria we've established together. Get in touch to find out how we can
satisfy your objectives.
Loan Sale Advisory
Exceeding Expectations
Commercial property lenders may hold mortgages that are troubled, non-paying or in default. We offer a competitive loan sale process as an alternative to a lengthy and expensive loan workout. We pioneered a process that met or exceeded our clients reserve pricing in every instance. Contact us to learn how we can do this for you.
The work that Kent and his team did on behalf of the corporate relocation of Alfa-Laval Thermal Division positioned our company for long-term growth and success. Their process worked and it continues to work for us!
Kirk Spitzer, President - Alfa Laval Thermal Division (US)
For five years I tried to sell my apartment building on the Upper East Side. Six brokers and four firms later, I met Kent Covington. His honest, direct approach left me with no doubt--Kent was working 100% on my behalf. And the results of the sale changed my life.
D. Walter, Manhattan Property Owner
Having known and worked with Kent for over 30 years, he has always under promised and over delivered. His attention to detail is uncommon in its combination with his big picture approach.
