Description: About Us Our company is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. Southeastern Family Investors Group was formed in 2005 by James D. Sparks, Managing Member. James is a graduate of Grambling State University with a degree in Molecular Biology. As a student, he successfully ran his own wiping cloth business with using contracts awarded from the Louisiana Department of Transportation. In its early days Southeastern Family Investors Group focused entirely upon the residential sector of the real estate market. With the addition of several new members to the team, Family Investors Group began exploring the opportunities of the commercial real estate sector. Today, Southeastern Family Investors Group is seeking assets across the nation and is actively pursuing opportunities in new growth markets. Family Investors Group welcomes new partnerships in multi-family acquisitions. The company is building a professional teams in each of the markets it penetrates to establish a seamless structure for the acquisition, purchase, management and liquidation of these assets. These teams include realtors, property inspectors, attorneys, property managers, title companies, insurance providers and lending institutions to create a professional force. The company has identified new growth markets and is currently researching opportunities in those markets. Family Investors Group welcomes the opportunity to form partnerships on these projects. Methodology The company’s business model revolves around establishing key relationships within a variety of growth markets across the country. Southeastern Family Investors Group network is growing and expanding into emerging markets which it feels will give high levels of value and above average return to the company and its affiliates. Properties are uncovered using a multitude of strategies including but not limited to real estate professionals, direct mail marketing and internet advertising. The decade long run up in real estate prices followed by the unprecedented drop in real estate values combined with the financial meltdown of the last year has created an environment of fear and opportunity. Southeastern Family Investors Group is dedicated to staying within its investment parameters. The company will maintain a rigid standard and if a property does not fit within the criteria of their model, it will not be acquired. Emerging Markets Emerging markets can be labeled as new growth markets or markets correcting from a previous cyclical downturn. Family Investors Group will use both fundamental and technical analysis in its examination of market conditions to determine when markets should be entered and exited. Since emerging markets offer investors the greatest opportunity for market generated appreciation a great effort will be undertaken to identify and acquire properties in these markets. Some of these markets include: Salt Lake City –UT, Chattanooga-TN, Beaumont-TX, Mobile AL, and Fayetteville-NC. Platform Southeastern Family Investors Group goal will eventually move towards a fully integrated full-service real estate company with investment services, centralized management, Tenants-In-Common offerings, Section 1031 exchanges, development, and asset management.
