News: Helping Religious Institutions with Real Estate Issues

March 28, 2009

Religious institutions in New Jersey face tremendous real estate challenges. Left with great legacy buildings that do not meet current needs or budgets, many religious institutions are getting out in front of the issue.

They recognize that these buildings can be a real asset and not a liability.

VRG is pleased to be the real estate consultant for many of these organizations, providing strategic planning advise, valuations, lease recommendations, appraisals. Our long term relationships have proven extremely helpful in advising on sensitive real estate matter and helping to get things moving in a way that allows the churches to concentrate on things that matter the most to their congregants.

In the past year, we have appraised several dozen major churches and worked with the Diocese of Paterson, the Diocese of Metuchen, the First Congregational Church of Montclair and others on highly complex issues. Contact VRG if we can help your church or not-for-profit analyze their real estate and help develop a strategy that works in today's real estate market.
