Since its inception, KET has specialized in the brokerage of apartment complexes in the greater Houston area, typically "B" and "C" properties, 200 units and larger. The firm utilizes a number of services to enable a purchaser or seller to analyze the market and to timely take advantage of opportunities as they appear, often in advance of the competition. Investors new to the market in Houston are given extensive neighborhood analysis, together with information on current trends for sales prices, rents, demographic changes, financing conditions and general economic indicators for Texas and the local Houston area market.

The firm maintains extensive computer sales data on apartment projects in Texas area that are either for sale or which have been sold in the last several years. The information is available in a database format so that an investor can quickly match his purchasing parameters to the inventory of available properties to locate product suitable for inspection and possible acquisition.

An ownership database is also available on all projects built in the greater Houston area, giving current rents, occupancies, unit mixes, etc. This database can be sorted to locate all properties built after a certain date, all properties sold in a particular period, all projects over a certain size, etc. It also maintains information on unit mixes, current rents and occupancies for most of the 3,500+ apartment projects, which are located in the market.

KET has extensive experience in marketing and selling REO and distressed properties, and has worked with the former RTC.  KET is currently working with several conduit lender special servicers, as well as with FNMA and FreedieMac and other sellers, to dispose of their multifamily assets.
