Detroit in Growth Pattern: Believe It or Not!

Last month there was a blog asking which areas were growing across the US. With all sincerity I responded that Detroit was a growth market. The person who posted the question asked me how many construction sites I saw in this area. I could tell he thought I was pulling his leg. This is why […]

Lease Clauses to Consider: Animals in Commercial Buildings

While many people might consider agents to be animals, the animals I am referring to here are the 4-legged furry types. In 2012, I ran a column asking for the oddest lease clauses that people have experienced. The most amusing answer I received was about a location where the tenant wanted to bring their dog […]

Don’t Forget to Check the RFP Against the Lease!

You may recall we spoke about the importance of RFPs (Why Do Tenant Rep Brokers Ask So Many Questions?) recently and we have also written about the top mistakes that tenants make (Top 5 Mistakes #CRE Tenants Make at Renewal). One such mistake we see often is that tenants do not check the RFP against […]

Why Do Tenant Rep Brokers Ask So Many Questions?

If you have ever worked with a tenant representative broker, you may have wondered to yourself, why do we ask so many questions? We always use a Request for Proposal (RFP) when comparing spaces for our clients. Many landlords and their representatives would prefer to and choose to skip this part. We never do. Sometimes […]

Relocation Clause Undisclosed by Dual Agent Equals #CRE FAIL!

Each year, I am amazed at the new things I see happening with tenants. One of the largest buildings near us in Southfield has taken the relocation clause to new heights. A tenant in the building worked diligently with their landlord to get their proposed office space just right. No sooner was the lease signed […]

Lessons Learned with #CRE Tenant Improvements

There are several ways to protect your business when it comes to the improvement area in the lease. In some leases, the landlord will not put together plans for the space and will not cost them out until after the lease is signed. This is not the way we like to work, as it can […]

Top 5 Mistakes #CRE Tenants Make at Renewal

We love our tenants, but we see them make a great deal of unavoidable mistakes. 1. Starting too late. The number one mistake we see tenants make….they do not start the negotiations until it is too late. If you have been following my earlier posts you know this is something we have run into many […]

Lessons Learned From My Coach

A couple of years ago, my business coach gifted me a year subscription to Success Magazine. What I love about it is how much I have learned about the different generations and how they each prefer to work. One thing that struck me as rather odd was that the idea that businesses generally do not […]

Landlords: These Are the Good Ones

Being a landlord is about so many things, including community. I live just outside of Rochester Hills, MI. Our downtown is a quaint one, recalling dreams of Americana with shops and restaurants galore. About a year ago it was decided that the main street – the heartbeat of downtown Rochester Hills – should be replaced. […]

Pitfalls of Subleasing

This past year, it seemed we ran into more landlords who worked against our clients than we did landlords who worked with them. In Virginia, every time we found a subtenant for a sublease, the landlord in question would lure them over to another listing in the building. Meanwhile, in New York, we helped a […]

Make a List, Check it Twice

Does the song sound familiar? Well, it is a tune every tenant should be singing – twice a year. That is right. Every tenant should check their lease expiration date twice, and make sure to start their search at least a year in advance. Wondering why?  Does not a year sound a bit over the […]

Taking 2013 By Storm

As we enter the New Year, it is exciting to look back on my first blog post of 2013 and see that we exceeded our fiscal goals for the year. 2012 was for us, as I am sure it was for many, a year of many changes for our organization. Someone recently told me that […]

What Makes an Entrepreneur?

It is interesting to watch different people start a business. Some simply fall into it by accident and succeed. Then there are those who really want to be successful and just cannot make it. As I mentioned earlier in the year I said I would share some personal insights into what drove me to become […]
