About CRE-Backoffice

CRE-Backoffice founder Gary Meese has 15 years analytical, transactional and operational experience across all real estate asset classes in the New York City metro area, the I-95 Corridor and notable markets throughout the United States. Gary has previously held positions in commercial real estate finance & investment analysis, acquisitions, dispositions, marketing and sales for New York owner-operator-developer RFR and investment sales & brokerage services firms Eastern Consolidated and Newmark Knight Frank (previously RKF Retail).

We created CRE-Backoffice with a mission to provide comprehensive investment real estate back-office solutions to real estate investors, developers, occupiers, brokerage services and stakeholders. As an extension of a clients’ in house management and investment professional team, we work to bring coordination, process and efficiency to intersecting disciplines throughout the back-office that have a tendency to get lost in the fray and are frequently mismanaged and underutilized. Additionally, we work with private investor, family office and services clients to provide comprehensive solutions to ‘lean-and-mean’ professionals who operate independently without a fully staffed back-office.

As an overall guiding principal to our business, we bring a forward-looking approach to back-office operations. We have experience with CRM, valuation, data and property management software platforms and understand that RE tech and Prop Tech solutions available in the market will and should continue to be implemented. While these solutions will continue to transform various functions in back-offices from one-man shops to full organizations, they still require the human element in order to optimize integration across disciplines in a streamlined way that maximizes ROI. Further, we believe strong and efficient back-office infrastructure are necessary for investors to take advantage of both traditional property type and emerging real estate (propco) and operating company (opco) opportunities created by ‘new economy’ sectors.
