Hello and thank you for stopping by!
EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION:
I am Duong, with 10+ years experience in Real Estate Financial Modeling. I have worked at a global real estate agency (as a Senior Financial Analyst) and two multinational real estate developers/ investors (as a Deputy Finance Manager and an Investment Manager). I have built financial models in Excel for 100+ real estate developments (Apartment for Sale, Serviced Apartment, Villa, Hotel, Resort, Office, Retail, etc.) worldwide (USA, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Costa Rica, South Africa, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Vietnam, etc.). And I have graduated from A.CRE Accelerator - the top real estate financial modeling training program in the world.
SERVICES:
I collaborate with real estate developers/ agencies/ brokers or business owners to:
- build institutional-quality yet intuitive financial models for their real estate projects, or
- customize relevant A.CRE financial models to suit the particulars of their projects, or
- review and improve their existing real estate financial models if any
PROCESS:
A process for our collaboration may be as follows:
1. Understanding about Project Overview and Requirements
2. Estimating Fee and Delivery Time
3. Collaborating on a List of Information for the project
4. Preparing and Delivering the Draft Financial Model
5. Revising and Delivering the Final Financial Model
FEE & DELIVERY TIME:
We can either work on a fixed fee basis or an hourly basis. Currently, my rate is US$80/hour (inclusive of Upwork Fee). For a large-scale ground-up development (Apartment for Sale, Serviced Apartment, Villa, Hotel, Resort, Office, Retail, etc.), the total fee for my work is typically in the range of US$1,000-$5,000, and my delivery time for the draft financial model is typically in the range of 1 week – 5 weeks from receiving your initial feedback on the list of information required for the project.
