Lease

TENANT REPRESENTATION

Most vacancy information is readily available to any broker, but there is a lot of important information that isn’t provided that we are very familiar with. For example, landlords that:

• are accustomed to working with startup business and more accommodating
• provide higher quality installations/build-outs
• are more open to considering short term leases
• typically require lower or higher security deposits
• have unfavorable clauses in their lease
• are more responsible managing their buildings
• are more accommodating and flexible moving around their tenants over the course of their lease
• take a long time to negotiate terms and a lease (useful for tenants with a relatively distant move-in date and good to avoid if you’re in a rush)
• have restrictive or expensive move-in policies

We help tenants save time and money by presenting the right building and landlords. We pride ourselves in always being accessible and promptly responding to our clients any time day or night. We understand that securing your office space is a top priority for your business and we treat it as such. There is no cost associated with our services.

LANDLORD REPRESENTATION

We won’t push every deal that comes across our desk. Our goal is to start a long-term relationship and we will only recommend tenants with a solid or promising financial situation and that are an asset to the property.

We take pride in the buildings we are entrusted to lease and look forward to more opportunities to add to our leasing portfolio. You are welcome to contact us anytime if you are considering a new leasing agent for one of your properties.

We can provide you with a full marketing strategy, comparative market analysis, and references.

SUBLEASING

If you are looking to relocate your business or help offset your overhead by finding another tenant to share part of your space, we can help you.

Actually, for growing companies we often suggest leasing a space slightly larger than you currently need and subleasing a small portion to bring your initial rent down and allow you to very easily expand into it at your own pace.

Just like all our assignments, we will only take it on if it falls into our area of expertise and we believe we can successfully complete it for you.

LEASE RENEWAL

If you are happy in your current space, extending your lease term is usually the easiest, most efficient, and most cost-effective solution for your business.

Before renewing a lease, there are a few things most business will (and probably should) do including:

• Being proactive with your landlord and either contacting them or having your broker contact them well before your lease expiration to find out what their expectations are for renewal terms.
• Check market conditions to evaluate your space against comparable alternatives.
• Commence negotiations with your landlord 6-8 months prior to lease expiration to ensure you have leverage and time for a contingency plan.

If you have done the above, you are in a great position to make a decision as to whether staying in your current space at the rates you’ve negotiated is the best move.

As your representative, we could facilitate all of the above for you:
