About Us
Resolution Search was established to fill a much-needed gap in the executive search industry for the real estate sector.
Historically, private real estate owners, developers, family offices, boutique and start-up investment firms have faced a dilemma: choosing between institutional search firms with rigid fee structures and inflexible approaches, or generalists lacking industry expertise and job boards as less than optimal solutions for addressing their human capital needs.
With over 50 years of combined experience and a thorough understanding of the industry, we integrate the latest technology, maintain a curated talent database, and leverage an extensive network of relationships. This allows us to offer a search experience that is adaptable and customized to our clients' needs without compromising quality.
We are dedicated to understanding our clients, aiming to strategically match them with high-performing professionals through a combination of human-centered approaches and innovative technology.
People
Real estate is fundamentally rooted in relationships, our entire business centers around the people aspect of real estate. We have a deep appreciation for the entrepreneurs and visionaries who have created successful real estate companies and the leaders within organizations who are tasked with fostering the growth of their respective businesses. Our primary objective is to authentically comprehend the motivations that drive these individuals, their aspirations, and the unique qualities that distinguish them. This understanding empowers us to attract, engage, and position individuals who not only share similar values but also bring tangible value to the company. As strategic partners, we invest in the enduring success of our clients and the professionals we place within their organizations.
Process
We are committed to innovation in the executive search process. We leverage our deep network of trusted relationships, our continuously evolving proprietary technology, and our collective institutional knowledge to build a roadmap to the solution. We take pride in our unwavering commitment to due diligence, standing firmly behind our candidate recommendations. Our dedication drives us to relentlessly pursue the solution until our search is completed. Transparency and integrity are integral to our approach, serving as our guiding compass. Our ultimate goal is to instill absolute confidence in our clients, assuring them that the individual they are hiring is not merely an answer but THE answer to their specific needs.
Purpose
Our commitment to community extends beyond the boardroom; we actively participate in initiatives aimed at positively impacting the communities we serve, often partnering with our clients in these efforts. Through charitable contributions and volunteer efforts, we strive to contribute and enhance the well-being and the development of society around us. We believe that a thriving community is built on shared values and collaborative efforts, and we are dedicated to contributing to a better future for all.
