I have worked with Valerie Kretchmer for many, many years and never make a site decision without her expertise. She and her team understand market dynamics and how to measure need and demand. They are thoughtful, detail-oriented, and big-picture smart.

I’ve used VSKA for every for-profit and tax credit project that I’ve done in Illinois and Indiana over the past 5 years. Her work isn’t full of the typical ‘fluff’ that others charge for, but instead drills down to exactly what I need to know to design senior projects that work. I highly recommend VSKA for any type of senior project, whether independent living, assisted living or memory care.

We use VSKA to perform the market study for all of our tax credit development projects. They are always professional and thorough and they know exactly what the Illinois Housing Development Authority and the Federal Home Loan Bank are looking for. It’s a slam dunk with VSKA!

Without a doubt, the success we have experienced in developing our affordable assisted living platform is in no small measure attributable to VSKA. Their market analysis on a state-wide level guided us to certain markets, while their insights into particular sites helped define our success. We are working to develop our tenth Silver Birch Living community in the State of Indiana. Valerie and her team are directly linked to that progress.

We love working with VSKA. They’re incredibly thorough in their research and good at communicating with us as the client. We know we can put trust in their work, and as developers, nothing is more important.
