Solution-Oriented: A Message from President Michele Vives
Spending a good part of my career in real estate in some capacity, I learned what it takes to solve a tough problem. From planning to land use, construction and finance, each development project is a puzzle to solve for the market it serves. Problems arise, solutions emerge. No project is without its challenges.
At DWC, we know this at our core, having applied a counter-cyclical approach to our business that has evolved so that we provide a variety of services in all economic cycles. We help our clients navigate both good times and bad times, whether the objective is growth and future planning or restructuring in times of distress. And by design, we have compiled an expert team of solution-oriented problem solvers whose experience goes far beyond real estate: operating company disputes, loan defaults, management challenges, and forensic accounting, to name a few areas of expertise.
In today’s market, we are putting all those problem-solving skills (and more!) to use in a surge of new workout assignments across industries and asset types. Our Spring 2026 newsletter details the uptick in new assignments we have under way in Texas, the resolution and recovery for a hospitality property in Portland, and some exciting updates regarding our team and leadership that position DWC for growth going forward.
DWC may have some of its roots in real estate, but our breadth of services, including real estate advisory, legacy asset management, fiduciary services and turnaround expertise, all hinges on one thing: solving problems. Whatever problems may arise, our team stands ready to solve them. We welcome the opportunity to assist with whatever challenges come your way.
Sincerely,
Michele Vives
President, Douglas Wilson Companies
