Greetings! Wanted to refresh my intro letter before January rolled into February. I just made it.

No great observations on my part this year as I welcome you to our company website. We all know the political landscape has greatly changed with uncertainty and chaos leading the chorus of MAGA Americans. One can only hope for the best! More important than political leadership to AllWest is the course of future interest rates as they have wreaked havoc on the real estate economy.

2024 was a sullen repeat of 2023 with transactional volume decreasing or being flat for most of the year. However, a small ray of hope emerged in the fourth quarter as RFPs greatly increased. Paraphrasing Winston Churchill: “Now, this is not the end of the real estate recession. It is not even the beginning of the end of the real estate recession. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning of the real estate recession.”

Thank you for visiting our website. AllWest assists our clients understand and manage their potential environmental and building related liabilities and effectively advocates their interests through the discovery and mitigation process. Those strengths, a 34-year operating history and revenue since 1990 exceeding 60 million dollars distinguishes AllWest from competing firms. I’d like to thank our consulting partners at Calvada, SGH, MCA, & VDA.
