The Starboard Story
Starboard signifies a number of factors that have influenced the formation of our company. Locally based out of San Francisco, our name, Starboard, ties us back to the Bay Area. In competitive sailing, Starboard means “tacking to the right,” which is a maneuver that requires a tremendous amount of team effort and oftentimes with little notice or forewarning. You must be flexible and prepared to address whatever challenges come your way at just a moment’s notice.
There is no such thing as a perfect race; collaboration, versatility, and fundamental principles are vital. Starboard CRE exemplifies that strength is just as important as intelligence to address any opportunities that come our way.
