Revenue model

1. Tenant Representation Brokerage: Bialow Real Estate acts as exclusive tenant representatives for retailers, earning commissions when deals are signed. The broker network pays Bialow when transactions are completed, allowing retailers to access their services essentially at no direct cost as the commission is paid by the executing broker.
2. Master Brokerage and Consulting Fees: The firm provides outsourced real estate department functions including strategic planning, market analysis, site selection, lease negotiations, and construction coordination for retailers without internal real estate capabilities. This creates an ongoing consulting engagement model.
3. Development Services: Build-to-suit opportunities and development partner services for retailers seeking to acquire real estate without owning it directly, providing competitive advantages through capital conservation.
