Location: Prestonwood Country Club
Speaker: Jamie Gregory, Founder & President, Line Honors Strategy Group LLC
Topic: Transfer Tax: Practical Strategies and Emerging Trends

Please join us for the last luncheon of the year!

Description
A practical briefing for North Carolina property managers on emerging transfer tax proposals and local revenue strategies -- how they'll affect commercial real estate transactions, operating budgets, and ownership/management responsibilities.

Join Jamie Gregory, Founder & President of Line Honors Strategy Group LLC, for a focused session tailored to property managers in North Carolina that translates policy signals into operational action. Jamie will review the larger-scale revenue-generation measures local governments are exploring (including transfer tax increases and related levies), explain how those measures ripple through commercial real estate (CRE) -- from acquisitions and portfolio disposition to leases, refinancing, and property-level cash flows -- and provide concrete steps managers and owners can take now to anticipate, mitigate, and operationalize change.

Learning objectives
Recognize the common local government revenue strategies driving proposed changes to transfer taxes and related charges.  Quantify how potential transfer tax increases affect transaction economics, cap rates, and operating budgets for CRE assets.  Implement three practical steps property managers can take to minimize surprises: pre‑closing due‑diligence checkpoints, tenant/pass‑through considerations, and coordination with owners and counsel.
