Commercial Real Estate Advisory
Commercial lease, purchase and sale-leaseback strategy, modeled around your growth.
Is this you?
Your lease is coming up for renewal and you don't know if you're paying above market.
You're deciding whether to buy your building or keep leasing and nobody has run the actual numbers.
You own your building and could use the capital that's sitting inside it.
If any of those sound familiar, or call +1 (305) 819-3675.
A signed lease is hard to undo
Real estate is often the second largest expense on a company's balance sheet, yet leasing and purchase decisions get treated like paperwork instead of a financial decision. Sign the wrong terms and that capital stays tied up for the life of the lease.
4 to 8 weeks
Typical time to close a standard commercial lease negotiation
Why owners choose us for this
We figure out the space you'll need first.
We project your 3 to 5 year operational needs first, so you negotiate for the square footage you'll actually need, not just what is available today.
Tenant representation usually costs you nothing directly.
For tenant representation, our commission is typically paid by the landlord out of the listing commission, at no direct cost to you.
We work alongside your existing broker.
We frequently run alongside a broker you already have, as the financial advisor on the transaction, modeling lease-vs-buy and structuring sale-leasebacks.

Questions
Real Estate Advisory FAQ
What is a sale-leaseback?
A strategy where you sell your owned commercial property to an investor and immediately lease it back, freeing up frozen capital while you maintain operations seamlessly.
Do you handle residential real estate?
Our primary focus is commercial leasing and acquisitions for operating businesses and portfolio investments.
How long does a commercial lease negotiation take?
Most negotiations close in 4 to 8 weeks from letter of intent to executed lease. Complex build-to-suit or multi-tenant transactions can extend to 3 to 6 months.
How are your fees paid on a real estate transaction?
For tenant representation, our commission is typically paid by the landlord out of the listing commission, at no direct cost to you. Lease audits, purchase advisory and sale-leaseback engagements run on fixed fees.
Do you work with us if we already have a broker?
Yes. We frequently run alongside an existing broker as the financial advisor on the transaction, modeling lease-vs-buy and structuring sale-leasebacks. Our role is strategic and financial, not brokerage.
