Real estate expenses: rent, property taxes, utilities, parking and other services together represent a major cost to any business. We first work with our clients to evaluate current and projected rent, how much space is needed, what type of building/space best fits their needs, and the desired site location.  A project budget is then developed for all one-time costs (i.e. move, IT, and furniture). Rent and all building operating costs are uniformly summarized as occupancy costs. Clients will learn the differences between “Triple Net”, "Modified Gross", or "Landlord Full Service Gross" leases.  

Clients seek our advice and other needed real estate services such as appealing property tax assessments, determining a property's "highest and best use" and zoning and development matters. 

Whether you are looking to lease your first office, move and expand your office or warehouse, or want to renew your current lease, you need the help of an experienced and unbiased broker. Our research provides clients with multiple space options for you to consider. As your broker, we create leverage with landlords in negotiating the best terms for a new lease or renewing an existing lease. You get the best market information and transaction experience. Landlords have this intel and so should you!  We use a detailed lease proposal (RFP) process that creates competition for your lease between landlords vying for your business. Once a letter of intent is agreed upon, we then work hand-in-hand with the tenant's legal counsel on negotiating the lease and construction details.

We represent business owners and investors in buying and selling office, flex, industrial, medical and retail properties, and land throughout Southern California and beyond. For buyers, we complete in-depth market survey and uncover off-market opportunities. For sellers, we first provide a broker opinion of value using sales comparables or an income-based approach. We deploy best-in-class marketing tactics to find the best buyer at the best price. Whether repping a purchase or sale we draft or negotiate offers and, with counsel, negotiate the complexities of the purchase and sale agreement. Then our work continues with managing the purchase while in escrow; including buyer due diligence, property inspection, appraisal, environmental study, zoning and use permits, and assisting buyer's lender when needed. We guide many first time buyers through the Small Business Administration (SBA) financing  process that offers qualified buyers a low down payment (10%) and other competitive terms.
