Commercial
The process I provide to get you into a South Bay Commercial building is as follows:
You receive a complete group of commercial real estate product choices: Office, Retail, Industrial, Research and Development, and special purpose non-residential buildings from all landlords.
Silicon Valley is different from any other real estate market. This is the center of high tech innovation and it is supported by a strong concentration of venture capital sources. Clearly, the demand here is for state-of-the-art buildings and an outstanding communications infrastructure.I start by searching all available buildings to end up with two or three sites that represent the best values meeting your requirements. The landlord’s agent will not show bargains that may distract you from his listings. In fact, he/she will probably limit their search to only those listed with a landlord. Therefore, I provide more qualified choices tailored to your needs.
My biggest secret is…
Accept Only Fair and Balanced Leases.Over the years, I’ve bumped up against HUNDREDS of ‘insider’ trick lease language paragraphs you have never seen, that are padding some landlord’s wallets with thousands and tens of thousands of dollars. They are one-sided in favor of landlords!
The solution is in knowing where the faulty language is hidden. Agents, including myself, cannot provide legal advice. Instead, I provide guidance throughout the entire business process. I can recommend one of several experienced real estate attorneys, who, for a nominal fee, will revise the faulty language by inserting corrective wording to make the document equitable.
You get a fair and balanced lease agreement using our streamlined site selection service!
Attractive Concessions Landlords Don’t Want You to KnowLandlord concessions become much broader when I bring up suggestions that landlords normally hide unless they are forced to meet the competition. In fact, I delight in creating bidding wars to give tenants more attractive concessions, such as tenant improvement allowances, longer free rent periods, extra parking spaces, and better signage. You fund required building improvements with no out-of-pocket cost to you.
Get an Efficient Space Floor Plan To Lower Costs of Doing BusinessArchitects provided by the landlords are too one-sided for me. I tend to use architects familiar with the objectives we are trying to accomplish for you, not the landlord. The tenant architect (nominal architect fee required) creates the optimum floor plan meeting tenant objectives, rather than the landlord’s.
Your business thrives.How Am I Paid?
I am paid a commission by the landlord while acting on your behalf with a sworn loyalty to protect your best interests. You will not pay me a dime.
You Gain Local Market Knowledge
A bonus for you is that I am very active in leasing commercial real estate every weekday and, when required, on weekends. Silicon Valley is my market and I am current on rental rates, tenant concessions, trends, and special perks for tenants to consider. Suddenly, you are on equal footing with the competition.Not only am I an advocate for free, but I bring along suggestions of outstanding commercial real estate attorneys and very capable architects, who will also act in your best interest. This grouping assures that you end up with the best value in a commercial real estate building.
