Why Choose Advise Realty Services?

Choosing Advise Realty Services means working with a team that looks beyond the real estate transaction. We don’t just help clients buy, sell, or lease property — we help them understand the decisions around residential and commercial real estate.

Our advantage comes from how we think. We bring together residential, commercial, leasing, construction, and advisory insight so clients aren’t forced to make isolated decisions without context. That means fewer surprises, better planning, and outcomes that make sense not just today, but years down the line.

We value clear communication, honest guidance, and long-term relationships over quick wins. Whether you’re navigating your first home purchase or managing a growing real estate portfolio, you’ll have a team that treats your goals like a strategy — not a transaction.

Kenneth Morris

kenmorris.cre@gmail.com

Ken Morris brings a unique combination of hands-on construction knowledge, real estate investment experience, and commercial property expertise to his real estate work. A graduate of Trinity-Pawling School, Class of 1992, Ken continued his education at Southern Maine Technical College, where he earned an Associate degree in Building Construction. That background gave him a strong understanding of building systems, construction, renovation, and the physical components that drive real estate value. Ken’s real estate experience includes both residential investment and significant commercial transactions. Between 2005 and 2008, he purchased, renovated, and sold nine single-family homes, generating an average return on investment of approximately 325%. On the commercial side, Ken assisted Robert Eber with leasing and repositioning 2 Pringle Lane, an approximately 160,000-square-foot industrial property that was transitioned into a multi-use facility. His experience at 24 Scitico Road, an approximately 48,000-square-foot industrial building, was even more comprehensive. Ken oversaw the departure of the existing single tenant, navigated issues associated with the Connecticut Transfer Act, secured a new tenant for the entire 48,000-square-foot building, and later negotiated a 10-year lease renewal after approximately four and a half years of occupancy. The property was ultimately sold to a new investment group, producing an approximately 632% return on investment. Ken’s combination of construction knowledge, investment experience, leasing strategy, and firsthand ownership perspective allows him to evaluate real estate from more than just a sales standpoint. He understands the building, the numbers, the tenant relationship, and the long-term value of the asset.
