People are often surprised to hear
that we are very busy these days. After completing a
number of transactions over the past 3 months, we – like
most everyone else – are seeing a significant slow-down
in real estate activity. But, we are very busy talking
with our clients and prospects about a number of
projects. Many companies are showing an interest in
streamlining the management of their real estate
portfolio and have asked us about lease administration,
lease audits and lease restructuring. And, we have been
hired to sell a number of facilities around the country
(and internationally) that have been vacated due to a
shift in workforce and/or production. Thankfully, we
have a number of clients who have asked us to assist
them in expansion, even in these difficult times.
