About Quest
 

Quest Commercial helps you acquire New Jersey real estate. Since 1990 we've helped our clients locate, analyze and negotiate real estate transactions from small parcels to large income-producing properties.

Quest does not serve residential markets except when the objective of our clients search is land for residential development, or multi-family residential investment properties. Quest does not "list" real estate.

If your organization seeks to acquire one or more properties in New Jersey, whether fee simple, tax liens, non performing mortgages, raw land, investment properties, or commercial properties for your own use, Quest can help you analyze your requirements, refine your search criteria, locate acquisition candidates, negotiate with the sellers, and facilitate closing.

Quest works on both a retainer and contingency fee basis. We are available for exclusive and non-exclusive engagements as a "Buyer Broker". Our success is tied to your own. We're acquisition specialists, it's all we do.

A Small Woman-Owned Business
Quest Commercial, Inc. is a WBE - M/WBE woman-owned business. Founded in 1990 by Charlotte Cohen, it is a New Jersey corporation, and a certified small business. Located in Central New Jersey, midway between New York City and Philadelphia, we're next to Princeton and Rutgers Universities, in a bucolic office park in East Brunswick.

Quest is available to act as a subcontractor on your projects, or to work directly for you. If your project has a set-aside requirement for M/WBE or WBE, working with Quest will help satisfy that requirement.

However, you should work with
Quest because we are a very responsive, effective, discrete real estate advisor, not because we're an M/WBE certified small business.

Services

If you had your own in-house real estate department, that knew the New Jersey market intimately, and could discretely and thoroughly locate, evaluate and negotiate real estate acquisitions, you wouldn't need Quest. This is exactly what we do, for Fortune 500 clients to individual investors.

Quest is a "boutique", a small firm that specializes in a niche market. Our focus is the acquisition of commercial and income-producing real estate, or related equities such as mortgages and tax liens.

When you engage Quest, a "Search Leader" is assigned to your project, and this is your primary contact. We then learn your business and requirement well enough that we can effectively and efficiently scour the market seeking acquisition candidates.

We narrow the field to a small group of "acquisition candidates", and present these in report format with data and photographic descriptions.

We are not environmental experts nor attorneys, but we can provide preliminary information on the environmental and legal aspects of the various acquisition candidates, as well as the surrounding neighborhoods.

If you prefer anonymity, we can act as your representative during due diligence and negotiations.


PINZ: Property Database

Quest has access to "PINZ®", the Property Information Zystem. This is a database of every parcel of real estate in New Jersey, showing detailed information about the property, owners, occupants, neighborhood, and location. This proprietary database was developed by a Quest affiliate company for our exclusive internal use locating properties for our clients, and contacting the owners and occupants of the properties.

Quest also uses other realty databases traditionally used in searches, both commercial and residential.
