Before you instruct.
How is PDB Advisory different from Big-4 real-estate consulting?+
Every mandate is led by a former real-estate principal, not a career consultant, and grounded in PDB's live market data — so the answer is informed by yesterday's transactions, not last quarter's report.
Do you sell PropTech products or software?+
No. We are strictly vendor-neutral in PropTech advisory. Any recommendation is documented and defensible.
Can you deliver globally?+
Yes. Advisory mandates are staffed across our 12 offices with a single accountable lead, using consistent data models and deliverable templates.
