Versant’s mission is to provide clients with opportunities to expand the value of their real estate investment portfolios by identifying suitable properties, as well as executing their acquisition and disposition processes. Versant believes its team-orientated approach and institutional presence helps clients create value and maximize returns.
Versant’s focus is sales and acquisitions of investment properties, whether they be single assets, portfolios, or funds, and the identification of strategies particularly suited to the needs of each client. Integrated within Virtua Partners’ capital markets platform, and creating an optimal platform for senior debt, mezzanine, and equity financings. Each transaction is studied with thorough analytics and research to achieve the maximum price for an asset. Offering its clients what it considers to be a contemporaneous view of pricing and availability of both conventional and structured financing vehicles.
Versant pursues major residential projects for single family development resale, land for entitlement, urban infill projects, and partially finished or unfinished residential construction projects.
Versant has a track record of assisting investors with properties that may have insufficient equity or other challenges that make a traditional sale or refinancing difficult. Our team members have advised on more than $4 billion of restructuring, recapitalization, and workout transactions in which they have demonstrated their creativity and technical proficiency.
Our landlord services are focused on developing long term tenant relationships for our clients. Maximizing returns in investment-grade commercial property means more than filling space; it also requires an understanding of the best use for space, market demands, and competing properties that may influence tenants or owners’ decisions. Moreover, we believe it is also important to approach leasing challenges from the perspective of the user. Versant performs a comparative lease analysis between competing assets, blend and extend analysis, and lease buyout to ensure our clients make well-informed decisions to negotiate the best transactions.
Versant identifies major market opportunities through a collection of data such as economic indicators and supply-demand variables, while back testing its research with third party sources. Markets of opportunity are identified based on their cumulative indicators including job growth, vacancy, construction, affordability, rents, age demographics, workforce salaries, technology trends, and professional education.

Versant is dedicated to small and middle market commercial real estate opportunities. Most institutional equity investors have a minimum investment requirement of $3MM - $5MM. Many real estate projects need smaller amounts of additional equity. We excel at placing equity from $500,000 to $10,000,000.
Versant Commercial Brokerage has direct access to thousands of investors looking to invest in Commercial Real Estate nationwide. Our wholesale approach removes the middlemen that increase costs and make institutional equity very expensive. Our ability to finance equity at reasonable rates is unique, offering the most efficient option for commercial real estate owners in need of equity capital.
We offer §1031 exchange opportunities for tenant in common investors that are selling their existing properties. Deferred capital gains taxes and depreciation recapture taxes are very burdensome for investors who utilized a §1031 exchange to get into their existing investment. In cases where investors have a very low adjusted tax basis, the tax liability can eat up a majority of the cash recovery. Those investors have a compelling need to defer taxes through another §1031 exchange. We are experts in §1031 transactions and TIC investments.
We offer §1031 opportunities that will allow individual investors the opportunity to gain direct access to commercial real estate and continue to defer their taxes. Our §1031 opportunities come with low fees, solid management, current cash flow, and are open to accredited investors.
