Reed Van Leuven
Founder, Acquest Partners
The capability and output of a full acquisition department, at the cost of a single associate.
One platform. Full focus.
For property management acquirers, built by a property manager.
Every acquirer reaches the same inflection point: capital ready, but the pipeline is thin. Either the internal team is unbuilt or underperforming. Outside help looks like the fastest path forward. But now you're trapped.
The ProblemMixed results. Their pay is geared toward activity — not the closed deals you actually care about. You're paying for motion, not outcomes.
Now you're paying too much for every deal that comes through the door. The economics work for them. They rarely work for you.
Either way, you fall into one of two trap doors.
Now you don't have to choose between the speed of capital deployment and ownership of the system.
Reed embeds directly inside your platform as your full-time acquisition partner, with the full support of his team behind him. For acquirers who want deeper integration, that can extend to a formal internal role. Either way, the engagement is built around your specific buy box and stage of growth.
The right relationships built at scale and in person — qualified and delivered to whatever milestone closes your loop.
Sourcing through signed deal. Every stage owned end-to-end — tiered targeting, founder relationships at scale and in person, qualification, diligence, negotiation, and close.
Nine steps to ensure every resource is ruthlessly prioritized on the right targets, markets, and messaging — so by the time outreach scales, the outcome is already determined.
Immediate results while the full system builds. 500+ personalized daily touchpoints by week one, prefilled calendars for roadshows, and conferences. Scale up or down as needed.
A safe, controlled AI rollout built inside your systems — automating the overhead that has no business being done manually. No ongoing dependency.
The system is proven. Now it gets multiplied across every BD on the team — a force multiplier on the operation already producing results. Need to build the department first? Acquest hires, trains, and manages new BD from the ground up.
Between capital deployments, relationships go cold fast. Maintenance Mode keeps the pipeline warm — so when capital is ready to deploy, there's already a line of founders waiting to sign.
Acquest's infrastructure deploys before the client commits anything of their own — compressing months of build time into days and getting qualified conversations in market immediately.
Everything built along the way — every system, workflow, agent, sequence, database, playbook, and SOP — is owned by the client from the moment it is built. The system is designed to run regardless of who is in the driver's seat.
A low retainer covers the operation. The majority of compensation is tied to outcome.
There is no scenario where Acquest wins and the client loses.
One engagement means one platform gets everything — full attention, full infrastructure, full commitment. The fit has to be right on both sides. If the deal flow is there to be captured and the capital is ready to deploy, the fit is worth testing.
See If We're a Fit → 30 minutes. No pitch. Frank assessment of goals and options.
