Staying in your Lane

April 16, 2019

Contributing Author: Cory Tyksinski

Most people have heard or even used the expression “Stay in Your Lane,” and almost everyone would apply it to when they are behind the wheel of an automobile. But it can have significant meaning in the world of Commercial Real Estate (CRE). We live in an age of technology where the internet and social media have increased the amount of information available and the speed at which someone can obtain information about almost anything, including commercial properties.

This access has certainly benefitted the general public as would-be buyers and tenants can peruse the various websites anonymously to search for the right property that meets their needs, and only after identifying such property, will they engage the assistance of an owner or listing broker. However, this accessibility to information has also “allowed” or even encouraged real estate brokers to venture into areas where they may not have comprehensive and thorough knowledge.

Spring Value Added Service to Clients

As most of the country is finally digging out from a long and snowy winter, it’s a great time for commercial real estate (CRE) professionals to add value to their existing client base. What is the one thing that we hear so often from our colleagues and clients? Answer – “there’s not enough hours in a day,” especially with continual interruptions thanks to the growth of mobile technology.

As their trusted advisor, you can lessen their load while making you more valuable to them by doing one easy, yet often over-looked task. Each spring, I make the time to visit each of my landlord and seller client properties for the sole purpose of looking at them with a fresh set of eyes, just as a prospective tenant or buyer would do on their first time into the property. CRE professionals, landlords and sellers often get tunnel vision after pulling into their property day after day, making it too easy to overlook deferred maintenance items.

Creating Value by Understanding / Experience

Contributing Author: Jay Verro, CCIM

Commercial Real Estate (CRE) transactions range from the fairly simple to immensely complex! The degree of transaction complexity can be mitigated by an educated and understanding commercial real estate broker who has expertise in your type of transaction and the resume to prove it.

A broker’s education and experience on specific sides of the transaction make he/she more understanding and knowledgeable of the other side’s needs. If you’re a commercial real estate landlord, you should seek out the expertise of a broker / agent with a significant amount of Landlord Rep. experience as the needs for a landlord typically differ from those of a tenant. It would also be beneficial to you if that broker/agent also has tenant representation experience, so they understand what typical expectations are from small business tenants to corporate tenants, etc.

End of Year 2018 Wrap up for CRE

December 13, 2018

2003-2005 “Irrational exuberance” a la Greenspan, now famous quote;

2008-2010 Great Recession and aftermath: PTSD for many of us;

2016-2018 Recovery being fully realized after almost a decade;

2019-2020 And Beyond: A measure of Uncertainty???????

With the marking of George H.W. Bush’s passing, we are afforded, yet, another “Opportunity to take stock.”

For those readers and investors who were beneficiaries, in this past year of the Tax and Jobs Act of 2018, I suspect, we can readily acknowledge the positive impacts of stock market valuations, due, in part, to share buy backs; and, shortly, when we do our taxes at new rate structures. The Economy has continued… (Is it sustainable?). The introduction of Opportunity Zone Funds, as once-in-a lifetime tax incentives, if properly executed, are also very encouraging.

Top 10 Suggestions for Selling Commercial Property

December 04, 2018

Congratulations, you successfully signed up a new listing, now you have to perform and sell the listing. If you are looking to perform quickly, to the best of your abilities, and acting in the best interest of your client you should be open to cooperating with other brokers. This can have some drawbacks, as brokers have overlapping clients, but overall the more people working on a listing the greater the chances the deal turns into a transaction and closes. Also, half of a commission is better than no commission. In today’s market buyers are coming from all over the place, not just other states but outside the country as well. In order to reach more buyers and increase leverage as a seller’s agent you have to reach a large audience and create buyer demand.

Here are our Top 10 Suggestions for Selling Commercial Real Estate: Continue reading Top 10 Suggestions for Selling Commercial Property

Establishing the New Norm for Marketing CRE Listings

November 13, 2018

Marketing commercial real estate listings in the U.S. through third-party platforms first began with Black’s Guide in 1976, a catalog containing CRE listings in major metropolitan markets. LoopNet and Costar are credited for bringing CRE listings online.

Over the years a few CRE listing platforms have come and gone, but online listing platforms have remained fragmented and adverse to cooperation with each other.

The lack of cooperation between CRE listing platforms forces agents to either manually enter their listings into multiple platforms, or more likely pick one platform and hope for the best. This resulted in a tremendous amount of time wasted. Continue reading Establishing the New Norm for Marketing CRE Listings

Surviving a Multi-Offer Process in Commercial Real Estate

August 15, 2018

Contributing Author: Cory M. Tyksinski

The process of buying commercial real estate (CRE) can be complex, long-winded and sometimes challenging, even if you are the only buyer negotiating to purchase a property. The complexity increases when multiple buyers seek to purchase a property at or about the same time. While simultaneous multiple offers in CRE are rare, it will be helpful to keep the following tips and tools in mind if you find yourself in the middle of a potential bidding war.

A. The Seller always wins. If you are one of the potential suitors for a commercial property, a common misconception is that the seller always wins in a multi-offer process Continue reading Surviving a Multi-Offer Process in Commercial Real Estate

Do You Need Tenant Representation for Office Space?

August 02, 2018

Contributing Author: William F. “Felton” McLaughlin – CCIM, SIOR

When is it time to start the time-consuming search for new office space? Typically that decision is driven by one or more of the following: an upcoming lease expiration date, space that’s either too small or too large for your current needs, and/or the desire to own vs. lease. Whatever the reason, there are some important things to consider as you head down the sometimes arduous path to finding new office space.

Time– The amount of time remaining on your existing lease term can either be an asset or a liability to you. Tenants that are not sweating out a lease expiration are less likely to be pressured by landlords looking for a quick commitment. So, it is imperative to start the process early before that expiration date starts to erode your negotiating leverage with prospective landlords.

Team– Have you picked the advisors you will need? A short list should include the following: Continue reading Do You Need Tenant Representation for Office Space?
