Corporate Profile

DALA Group of Companies, (legally known as Derek A. Lobo & Associates), was incorporated in 1988 and is a profitable, multi-residential real estate consulting service.  DALA's growth has been characterized by a series of expansion phases followed by consolidation phases and has consistently increased its revenue year after year.

DALA has a track record of delivering a first-rate product and as a result, 80% of our contracts stem from repeat business.

The company provides consulting studies and services to the multi-residential industry and executes performance based services for a percentage of the revenue.  The business is economically unique and counter cyclical, in the fact that our services are in greatest demand when vacancies are high (less than 97% occupancy).

As part of its sustainable competitive advantage, DALA uses a compliment of in-house professionals with a broad range of disciplines in order to provide its clients with customizable products tailored specifically to their needs.

DALA has developed a range of market studies and services required by apartment owners and developers to assist them with the development and lease up stages for their properties.  The New Apartment Construction Feasibility Study, The Apartment Repositioning Study, The Absorption Study, The 9-Point Marketing Plan, The Maximum Lease Renewal Program™, The Hidden Value Market Survey™ and the Training Program™ combine years of industry experience, statistical market research and analysis as well as in-depth market intelligence to help apartment owners and developers reach their goals.

All of these services are built on management and staff training manuals and videos which are detailed, systematic and proprietary in nature.  From these core competencies, DALA developed the Accelerated Cash Flow Program™ and the Fast Lease up Program™.  These performance services permit DALA to participate directly in the apartment rental revenue stream for the period of the contract.

Our Guarantee:

DALA has been at the forefront of the multi-residential industry for twenty years and during this time we're proud to say we've become experts in the field.

Since there are so many companies that claim the same thing, how do we differentiate ourselves?  Simple!  We back up our claim with our no-nonsense guarantee:

If we don't rent, you don't pay!

Our Commitment to Continuous Learning:

"I believe that we cannot live better than in seeking to become still better than we are."

Socrates

Today's workplace continues to change at a swift pace with new systems and technologies constantly being developed.  This is one of the reasons why Continuous Learning is critical to the ongoing success of a company; otherwise they risk falling behind in the rapidly changing global market. 

DALA Group of Companies acknowledges that fact and has made a commitment to take on the challenge of keeping up with the changes.  We are committed to providing our staff with Continuous Learning opportunities.  As an example, DALA sent each and every one of their staff to the 2006 NAA conference in Denver, Colorado as an avenue to expand upon existing knowledge and gain greater skills.  After all, the more we grow, the more we can help your multi-residential properties grow.
