Leave room for discovery
A useful property search begins before you open a listing.
Write down the essentials
Describe your intended use, approximate space needs, customer access, parking, deliveries and preferred timing. Separate requirements from preferences so a promising option is not excluded for the wrong reason.
Compare the full picture
An advertised lease rate is only part of an occupancy discussion. Ask for the applicable rate units, expense structure, improvement responsibilities and available documentation. Your advisors can help you review the details of a specific proposal.
Leave room for discovery
A tour should answer questions, not simply confirm a first impression. Keep a common checklist and record what still needs to be verified.
