The Real Estate Collaborative

TREC

The Real Estate Collaborative (TREC) is a privately-held real estate investment group based in Greenwich, Connecticut. Founded in 2011 by Jennifer Roach as Indian Chase Partners, LLC., the mission of the company was to create value and long-term growth with each acquisition. TREC’s diverse portfolio ranges from rental units to farmland, and the company’s conservative yet aggressive, no-leverage approach has seen 50%–80% market value growth. TREC’s holistic strategy brings a broad spectrum of skills to traditional areas of real estate. Wall Street analytics and a refined design aesthetic inform their brokerage expertise and relationship-building practices, resulting in projects that meaningfully contribute to the surrounding community. 

TREC’s areas of operation include development, construction, brokerage, and finance. Quality, creativity, and technology are heavily considered while developing real estate that benefits from the collaborative approach. The advantages of scale are utilized and risk is mitigated by diversifying the scope of work across a number of strategic concepts. As a business, TREC’s mission is to create value and make a positive impact in the community by enhancing the way people live through designing and building high-quality, high-functioning, and low-maintenance properties that reflect the needs and opportunities of the area. 

TREC’s 360-degree approach allows the company to partner with builders, like-minded investors, and potential homeowners; it is always looking for exciting opportunities to enhance communities and build towards the future.

Development, Investment, Brokerage

Our Journey. Your Home.


DEVELOPMENT:

At The Real Estate Collaborative, in-house development is at the core of our business model.Our turnkey approach is founded upon architectural tenets that comply with today's lifestyle. Each home is unique and created according to its environment. However, all of our developments are built upon the same principals of smart design, high quality, low maintenance, and ensuring the future owner is provided with everything they want and need and nothing they don't. We balance technology with function and alternative products that benefit the end user and the environment and don’t stop until we’ve taken the property to its highest and best use. The result is a home that has value, function and beauty. 


INVESTMENT: The TREC Approach

The vertically integrated TREC platform allows us the flexibility to be a full-service partner, providing financing, construction, design and/or brokerage. Additionally, we bring a regional understanding of what will succeed in different local markets, which better informs every investment opportunity.


BROKERAGE

TREC uses a model that is rarely seen elsewhere in the marketplace. Our in-house brokerage affords the entire team transparency as they operate in the field, which is a crucial asset when canvassing, acquiring, and selling properties. Above all else, it adds significant value by improving the bottom line and resulting in a better final product for the consumer or investor. TREC’s brokerage component evolved from a long-standing, well-respected family business that has parlayed years of experience and a deep passion for real estate into a business model with a collaborative outlook.
