Effective Date: March 25, 2024
Last Updated: December 26, 2025
1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to GildenRow Advisory ("GildenRow," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using this website (gildenrowadvisory.com) or engaging with our services, you ("User," "you," or "your") agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms").
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use this website or our services.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and GildenRow Advisory, operating under LoKation Real Estate, located in Alpharetta, Georgia.
2. Description of Services
2.1 General Services
GildenRow Advisory provides transaction advisory services for control-transfer multifamily real estate transactions across Atlanta and the Southeast. We facilitate discreet connections between sellers facing capital-stack pressure requiring confidential exits and execution-qualified buyers prepared for time-compressed transactions.
- Facilitating discrete, off-market matches between sellers requiring confidentiality and execution-qualified buyers
- Decision-timing assessment and pre-decision engagement for control-transfer situations
- Maintaining execution-qualified buyers with verified capital capacity
- Transaction facilitation and execution support
- Accepting referrals from licensed real estate professionals
2.2 What We Are Not
GildenRow Advisory is NOT:
- A traditional real estate brokerage offering public property listings
- A buyer or principal in transactions (we facilitate matches only)
- A property management company
- A financial advisor, investment advisor, or securities broker
- A lender or financing source
2.3 Licensing
GildenRow Advisory operates under LoKation Real Estate, a licensed real estate brokerage in the State of Georgia. All services are provided in compliance with applicable state real estate regulations.
2.4 Registration ≠ Agency Representation
CRITICAL NOTICE: Submitting an inquiry, confirming buyer availability, or creating an account does NOT create an agency relationship, brokerage relationship, or any form of legal representation between you and GildenRow Advisory (or LoKation Real Estate).
A formal brokerage relationship is only established upon the execution of a separate, mutually signed written engagement agreement that explicitly defines the scope of representation and compensation.
Until such an agreement is fully executed, GildenRow Advisory is acting solely as an advisory and brokerage practice facilitator, and no fiduciary duties or regulatory representation are implied or created by your use of this website.
3. No Guarantees or Warranties
⚠️ Important Disclaimer
GildenRow makes NO guarantees regarding transaction outcomes, pricing, timing, or successful closings. Real estate transactions involve inherent risks and uncertainties beyond our control.
3.1 No Transaction Guarantees
We do not guarantee:
- That any specific property will be matched with a buyer
- That any buyer will successfully acquire any property
- That any transaction will close
- Any specific transaction price, terms, or timeline
