W.A. Simkins & Associates is a boutique real estate advisory firm based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, serving the Tidewater region with a specialized focus on multifamily properties. With decades of experience in real estate operations, financial planning, and governance support, we offer customized advisory services that help property owners, boards, and housing cooperatives make confident, strategic decisions.

We are not a traditional property management company. Instead, we serve as trusted advisors, helping our clients navigate the complex landscape of multifamily property ownership and stewardship. Whether a community is self-managed or in transition from third-party management, we provide the structure, training, and strategic insight needed to operate more effectively and sustainably.

Our firm’s core strengths lie in:

• Governance Support – Empowering boards and cooperative leadership with training, structure, and best practices.

• Operational Strategy – Crafting long-term maintenance plans, vendor relationships, and cost-efficient workflows.

• Financial Oversight – Providing independent financial review, forecasting, and capital planning tailored to multifamily communities.

• Local Insight – Drawing on our deep understanding of the Tidewater real estate landscape to offer regionally grounded advice.

Our approach is collaborative, transparent, and rooted in accountability. We work alongside our clients as thought partners — not just consultants — offering strategic direction while equipping them with the tools to lead their communities confidently into the future.

If you’re a board member, property owner, or stakeholder seeking clarity, stability, and expert guidance in the multifamily sector, W.A. Simkins & Associates is ready to help you build lasting value.
