Can I reduce my occupancy cost?
In this competitive market there are many strategies we use to ensure you are receiving reduced occupancy costs when available, regardless of your lease expiration. We can provide benchmarking studies and compare occupancy costs of one user to the next ensuring your business objectives are in line with your real estate assets.

When is the right time to evaluate my lease obligations?
A lease can be renewed at nearly any point during its term. We've negotiated numerous renewals, contractions, dispositions, expansions, all having more than two years left on the remaining lease term. A minimum of 9 to 12 months is ideal to leverage all potential options and to optimize value on an expansion or contraction.

What are the financial impacts of my real estate decision?
Understanding how real estate decisions affect your balance sheet is a critical component of our service. Real estate costs are typically ranked second or third on a company's income statement - no matter how big or small the business. Reducing costs are crucial in a competitive market and real estate costs are no exception.

What other issues do I need to consider?
Your real estate objectives should be closely in line with your company's business and growth expectations. Taking time to evaluate this makes each real estate decision more cost effective. No client is alike in their priorities, whether they be location, image, access, parking, amenities or demographics. Make sure your company is aware of theirs.

What concessions are available?
A skilled real estate consultant can maximize all available concessions.  They are better today than they have been in a decade. Free rent, moving allowances, upgraded improvements, and tax incentives all may be negotiated to provide you with the best lease possible.

Why do I need a real estate consultant?
Effective real estate decisions add value to your corporation. In a time where cost savings can mean endurance, trusting a real estate professional to represent your interests is an invaluable tool, a service which is paid for by the Landlord.

If you have any further questions about the real estate process or value a real estate representative can add to your real estate decisions, please contact us.

The use of real estate consultants who are paid by Landlords while representing your interests are an invaluable tool.
