Buyer/Tenant Representation
Our Working Process
We love helping our clients find the perfect property at the best price, whether leasing or buying. Our goal is to build a strong relationship with you (we don’t require a signed representation agreement). All we need is a handshake and a promise to work with us exclusively, and if at any point you are not happy with our results, we can part as friends.
1. Figuring Out What's Right for You
We pride ourselves on gaining an in-depth knowledge of your unique requirements to find your ideal property.
2. Surveying the Market
We conduct thorough research using the latest tools in commercial real estate to find all eligible sites in the market that meet your requirements. A comprehensive site analysis report is delivered for your review.
3. Property Tours
We arrange property tours with landlords/agents/owners for onsite evaluation. We’ll also arrange for contractors/third party services to inspect the property and render opinions. We’ll help you narrow down the choices to find the best one for you!
4. Contract Negotiations
We negotiate on your behalf to get you the best possible deal in the market place. From submitting the first letter of intent until the final contract is signed, your best interests are always our number one priority.
5. Customer Care
We fashion ourselves more as consultants instead of brokers. Consequently, we want to help you with anything you might need during the process.
