Our Values

Property Managers

Think Like an Owner

Whether it comes to selecting vendors, interacting with tenants, or making internal investments, everyone at Wyse takes an ownership point of view and thinks about the macro, not just the micro.

Look at the Big Picture

Our big-picture views extend to investment analysis, as well as internal investments. This doesn’t mean we neglect the small. Instead it means we think holistically about how all the pieces work together. We prioritize what matters.

Build Sustainably

Sustainable thinking applies to building practices, but it goes much further. It informs our financial and hiring decisions, as well as the way we work together.

Assemble the Dream Team

We are stronger together. Whether for a project or for our organization, we assemble the right people, hire based on values, and leverage our collective knowledge to produce exceptional results.

Our Story

Bill Wyse founded what became Wyse Real Estate Advisors early in 1988, opening a small office in the Spalding Building in Downtown Portland with Analyst Greg Close and Office Manager Dolores Young in May of that year. Age 68 at the time, Bill reasoned that his 40-year career as a top real estate lawyer and business advisor would have value for the new firm’s members and clients.

Starting with a platform arranging real estate loans as bond-alternative investments for corporate pension trusts, the firm quickly found footing advising clients in all manner of real estate investment transactions, from basic transaction underwriting and negotiation to multi-property portfolio investment acquisitions.

Ever interested in property performance, Wyse implemented property management services in 1989, initially for acquisition clients, and steadily grew the business.

Wyse valued continuing education and development of real estate professionals as generalists, with training in investment analysis, financial underwriting, negotiations and high-level property and project management skills. It was Wyse’s view that any real estate professional should be relied upon to be an expert advisor in the field, delivering reasoned, unbiased opinions to assist the client in making real estate business decisions, regardless of the level of investment.

The firm continues today in the tradition of Bill Wyse, advising clients in a wide array of real estate investment services, top level asset and property management and a wide variety of consultation and advisory work, primarily throughout the Pacific Northwest.
