Our Philosophy

Six things we know to be true

As we constantly strive to maintain our position as the leading drugstore experts in the marketplace, these core principles guide our actions.


  1. Advise Sellers and Buyers as if it were our own investment.
    Our guiding maxim. The key to offering the best advice is to act as if the decision were being made with our dollars. We recognize that the value of a trusting relationship is one hundred times the value of a commission from any given transaction. Whether advising a Seller or a Buyer, we take great care to ensure that your decision will ultimately serve you, rather than our own internal goal or bottom line.
  2. It's best to do one thing really, really well.
    We are 100% focused on drugstores. All day, every day, we are focused exclusively on real estate investments leased to Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid. We know what we do well, and we continually strive to do it better. As a result of our exclusive focus on drugstores, every conversation we have throughout the day accumulates to our clients' benefit. Be it a tidbit of market information from a Seller, Buyer or Broker, our real-time market information will provide you with a competitive advantage and enable you to make the best, most fully informed decision possible.
  3. Fast is better than slow.
    We know your time is valuable (as is ours), so when you're seeking advice and market information you want it right away – and we have the critical information you need at our fingertips thanks to a proprietary database redeveloped several times over the past decade. We are the only brokers in the nation who can offer you real-time market information on Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid throughout the development lifecycle: from approval by real estate committee, to lease signing, under construction, open and for sale, LOI signed, contract signed, non-refundable deposit, sold. We've invested a tremendous amount of dollars (and even more man hours and brain power), into developing custom tracking systems that allow us to capture and report market information in ways that our competitors haven't even thought of yet. And we continue to work on making it all faster, more accurate, and more valuable to you on a daily basis.
  4. Most market information available to you is dated, inaccurate, and misleading.
    Third-party internet listing services are at best dated and incomplete, but at worst inaccurate and misleading. Unfortunately for many Sellers, Buyers and Brokers, these internet sites are their primary source of market information for Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid investment properties. Fortunately for you, a working relationship with Deerfield Partners will avail you of real-time market information that will prove to be your competitive advantage in your decision making and negotiations.
  5. You can be serious about business and still have a good time making deals.
    We believe that goals should be challenging, and the challenge should be fun. We are energetic, passionate guys from diverse backgrounds. We approach work, play and life creatively and enthusiastically. We understand that our partnership produces overall better results than if each of us was working toward the same goal individually. Based on our experience with 300+ drugstore transactions, we know that our partnership with you can produce better results than you making your drugstore decisions on your own.
  6. Being the best just isn't good enough.
    We see being the best advisors and brokers in the drugstore market as a milestone, not an endpoint. We set goals for ourselves we know we can't reach yet, because we know that by stretching to meet them we will accomplish even more than we expect. Through hustle, innovation and iteration, we strive to maximize our potential and make our business better every day.
