Company Bio
Based on our principles of providing in depth knowledge, hard work and dedication to our clients, Crest Real Estate offers construction and development services that maximize efficiencies and increase profits on a variety of real estate endeavors.
Crest gets involved on a project at different stages throughout the development timeline but sees the most value added to a project when involved through the conceptual phases to the final inspection sign-off.
Due Diligence:
Analysis of governmental codes, coordination with consultants and meetings with the client to determine their objectives for a specific site results in the preparation of a Property Development Analysis (PDA). This PDA provides guidelines for the highest and best use capable for a property, a strategic game plan for Governmental submittals as well as plan preparation requirements.
Entitlements and Discretionary Hearings:
Preparation of applications and case findings are performed for projects seeking approvals for discretionary development allowances. Presentations are then made to a multitude of hearing authorities from planning commissions, architectural review commissions, and City Councils.
Expediting:
Working with the design team, Crest submits plans for plan check, coordinates corrections, clears conditions dealing with all pertinent departments, and obtains building permits through an efficient procedure enhanced by members of our team working on multiple projects in the same jurisdictional area allowing for enhanced personal coordination with the reviewing authority.
Construction Change Orders and Inspection Assistance:
In many development projects changes post issuance of permits inevitably occur and when they do, it is imperative to the construction process that they receive supplemental approval from the City as soon as possible so as not to interfere with a financially impacted schedule. Through direct line contacts with the City, Crest is able to influence City officials into priority processing of these field changes.

Project Management:
On certain projects, Crest will act as an owners representative or project manager by identifying project needs, selecting consultants and contractors and overseeing their efforts, interfacing with the community, governmental agencies, client's legal and financial counsel, preparing schedules and budgets and seeing that they are complied with.
President and Founder:
Utilizing the training from exposure to the elite talents of the industry from Developers, Construction Managers, Architects, Engineers and Contractors as well as the learned success gained from the involvement and completion of over 500 diverse real estate development projects, totaling well over one-billion dollars, Jason H. Somers and his team at Crest Real Estate have the experience and ability to take diverse projects from the conceptual stages through the completion of construction.
