April 15, 2013 – Plainview, New York - One of the first conferences of its kind took place Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at the Race Palace in Plainview, New York.  Three expert panelists joined together to present a rationale to corporate leaders for the process of making a decision whether to buy or lease their corporate real estate.  The concept for the conference on buying versus leasing was conceived by David G. Hunt, President of  Hunt Corporate Services, Inc., to bring together specialists for this topic.  Steven Elliot Cohen, Partner at Franklin, Gringer & Cohen, P.C. and Kevin Leifer, CPA and Tax Director at Gettry Marcus CPA, P.C. joined Hunt.  Collectively, they developed a program that brought the three different disciplines together for this two-hour morning conference.

Over forty key executives of major regional companies accepted an invitation and attended this unique program where they obtained the information they needed from the three distinct perspectives; accounting, legal and real estate brokerage.  The topics included; discounted cash flow analysis as a tool to analyze the buy-lease decision, why it is often better for fast growing companies to lease and not-for-profits to buy, how privately held companies should hold their real estate, the implications of owning real estate while maximizing deductions, as well as an overview of the Long Island real estate marketplace today.  Guests were given an opportunity to speak with the panel and walk away with a program booklet as a future resource.   Mr. Hunt provided the participants with the six basic questions every business must ask before making a buy-lease decision.

"If I decide to buy another building, I now have better information to help me make a more informed decision," said Scott Yanuk, President of Laurel Environmental Associates, LTD.  John Sandgren of Keller Sandgren Associates said, "The best was when David spoke about the importance of asking the right questions of the professionals who really know the business." Jeanne Fontana, CEO of Synegy3 said, "This type of forum was extremely informative and enlightened us about the three areas of consideration necessary before making a major decision like this.  It was extremely worthwhile.”

David Hunt has been involved with the rental, sale, appraisal and construction of industrial and commercial real estate, primarily on Long Island, New York since 1973.  Hunt founded Hunt Corporate Services, Inc., in 1981 as an industrial and commercial consulting and brokerage firm, and Hunt Construction Services, Inc., in 2010 to provide construction and maintenance services for New York metro companies.

April 1, 2013 - Plainview, NY - Hunt Corporate Services, Inc. (Plainview) has been awarded the contract to market a 39,250 square foot office building in Melville, New York.  The four-story office building is located at 1121 Walt Whitman Road, and has been placed on the market for sale.

Architectural Design Services: For those clients who desire expert, innovative designs, the company will offer guidance and assistance in the preparation of a spatial program that will ultimately result in an attractive, functional floor plan.  During this preliminary design phase, Mr. Cuvier will prepare draft floor plans for review and discussion with each client, refining them until an approved plan is achieved.  Depending upon building code criteria, the plan can be enhanced for construction purposes, or else furnished to the client’s design professional of record so that a set of construction documents can be generated for building permit acquisition.

Construction Consultation Services: The company will conduct an initial peer review, on their client’s behalf, to identify any potentially adverse building code and/or constructability issues that may need rectification with the design professional of record.  Subsequently, during construction, weekly or semi-monthly field meetings are held to monitor compliance with the construction documents and review monthly contractor payment requisitions for fairness and accuracy. Reports of field meetings are generated, complete with digital, labeled color photographs documenting job progress until project completion.

Building Inspection Services: Thorough building and site inspections are conducted, including digital, labeled color photographs highlighting both specific and general aspects of each facility. Every inspection report incorporates recommendations to correct, and/or run further tests on, any areas of concern.  This information addresses future capital improvements to be anticipated and planned for, and can be utilized by a prospective buyer to negotiate a more equitable purchase price prior to contract signing or closing.

“Mr. Cuvier enables us to share services that are not otherwise available through a realtor or construction company. Once again, we are consistently expanding to bring more expertise to our clients overall.” stated Hunt.
