Clients of Each Firm Including Lenders, Owners, Attorneys, and REITs Will Benefit From Complementary, Expanded Services and "One-Stop Shopping" Under New Alliance HUNT VALLEY, Md. and AKRON, Ohio, June 25
HUNT VALLEY, Md. and AKRON, Ohio, June 25 /PRNewswire/ -- EMG and
Bock & Clark, two of America's leading providers of commercial real estate due
diligence services, are joining forces in a new strategic alliance that will
offer lenders, owners, attorneys, REITs, and other clients "one-stop shopping"
for engineering and environmental services, cost segregation studies, and
ALTA/ACSM land title surveys and zoning services announced Claude N. Limoges,
CEO of EMG, and Jeffrey Echko, CEO of Bock & Clark.
The EMG/Bock & Clark alliance unites two companies that have led their
respective industries for decades. Bock & Clark, founded in 1973, is the
largest coordinator and provider of ALTA/ACSM land title surveys in the U.S.
EMG has offered environmental assessment and engineering consulting services
in America and abroad for 22 years. Under the new alliance, each company's
sales and client services personnel will have the ability to offer the full
spectrum of due diligence services provided by EMG and Bock & Clark to their
client bases, which generally draw from different markets: EMG largely
services lenders, investors, REITs, owners, and operators, while Bock & Clark
works primarily with owners, law firms, REITs and title companies.
Limoges said that each company will continue to operate independently and
parallel to each other, while cross-marketing their complementary services.
"This arrangement advances EMG's goal to offer its clients comprehensive
services for every stage of the real estate lifecycle. We believe our clients
will benefit tremendously by our alliance with the country's leading provider
of ALTA and zoning services. Bock & Clark is a premier organization that
shares EMG's commitment to client-first quality service," said Limoges.
Echko agreed that the alliance of industry leaders in their fields will be
of great benefit to each firm's clients, who can now access expanded due
diligence services in just one call. Echko said, "We are very excited to be
entering into this partnership with EMG, and to offer their expertise in
Property Condition Assessments, Environmental Site Assessments, Seismics, Cost
Segregation Services and more to our clients. Both Bock & Clark and EMG view
this as an alliance of equals that will enable us to better serve our
respective clients with streamlined processes."
