COMMERCIAL SERVICES

Acquisition

Step Three is more than just contract negotiations; as your investment advisor we provide funding sources from Bond houses to local lenders, contractors for cosmetic and capital improvements along with total renovations and ground up construction, and management services.

Disposition

Strategy

We are ready to help you maximize the value of your portfolio of properties. We think of ourselves as surrogate owners with a hands-on approach to helping you define and create your sales strategy and use sophisticated financial modeling and comparable analysis to determine the value of each property - all while adding value and maximizing economic potential.

We take into account your requirements for timing the sale, and your related objectives for placing the proceeds of the sale in other investments or another property. By planning a disposition strategy around these elements—speed, price and risk—we weed out unqualified buyers, reduce the possibility of re-trades and capitalize on the strongest market demand.

Finally, we handle the negotiation and due diligence process to anticipate and overcome obstacles, carefully track documentation, and ensure the property's sale transaction closes on time

Services for Tenants/Occupiers

Many small to medium sized business owners find it invaluable to enlist a professional real estate broker’s help in finding rental space, especially if your landlord will have one, and particularly if your needs are unique or space is at a premium such as in South Florida. Regardless of your company’s size, we’ll help you identify the right space so you can focus on what matters most–running a successful business.

You can engage us as your broker, who will represent solely your interests. A broker who works exclusively for you has one main assignment—to get you a good deal on a space that meets your needs. An experienced broker can help you evaluate the financial consequences of the landlord’s lease terms, and can spot hidden charges that translate into higher rent. Finally, the broker who’s acting as your agent can help in lease negotiations—a terrific boon if, like many people, you have limited commercial negotiation experience. Remember, leases are not black and white and comparable rents per square foot do not translate into the same long term cost for you and your business.

Side notes... Commercial vs Residential FYI

A commercial real estate agent’s job is much different from that of a residential real estate agent. Generally, selling or leasing commercial property takes a significantly longer time, and commercial real estate agents must analyze substantial analytical data and financial information, involve more parties and demand far more knowledge and information. Commercial agents must understand Lease structures; Gross lease, Modified Gross, Net, Double Net, Triple Net, Bond Lease, Options, Natural Breaks, Overages, CPI. Property details: Maintenance and deferred maintenance, CAM breakouts, Parking Ratios, Turning radius. Dock height, Ceiling height, Curbing, Stacking, Traffic counts, Trips, Setbacks, Drainage, Allowable use, engineering, architecture, environmental, accounting and tax issues.

Additionally, commercial clients are concerned with area, local statistics and data involving the property's location, as well as the demographics of nearby businesses and the area's population. Most commercial clients are businesses that depend on placing their firms or practices where the immediate and nearby population suits the goods they sell or the services they provide.
