Get Your Own Office Lease Space Planner When You Negotiate a Commercial Lease

Landlords often offer complimentary space planning to Tenants who were considering one of their buildings. These Planners are hired by the Landlords and each Landlord has his own Planner. The result of this system is that the Planners like the Listing Brokers are in a conflict of interest.

They work on the building for the Landlord and not for you the tenant. In addition, different Landlords use different Planners. Since each planner has unique and differing styles, plans are different in each building. It makes it hard for tenants to compare apples to apples.

Our Toronto Commercial Real Estate solution has been to work with one Office Lease space planner. We make sure the Office Lease space planner is a excellent one. This planner is hired by our client to plan the space in accordance each clients unique requirements. They do this for each building under serious consideration.

It makes it easy to compare apples to apples. They also critique the building’s weaknesses as well as its’ strengths. The landlord's planners are obviously reticent to point out weaknesses. So get your own planner.

This planner works for you and is paid by the landlord. Instead of the landlord paying for his planner, get him to pay for your planner instead. Get your planner to get it in writing. Most landlords will have no problem with this and won?t lose a potential deal over it.

You eliminate conflict of interest by the building planners and are sure you get just the right building for you company’s particular situation. Your planner will also oversee the construction of your leasehold improvements for you but more about that later.

Recently I worked with a client who liked a building a lot. I had to tell him that we would have to find another building because my planner found that this building did not work for him. He wasn?t pleased as clients fall in love with buildings, but mistakes in business are like mistakes in marriage. Very costly.

Another time, our planner said the space didn't work. The landlord wanted the deal so much he had the building planner draw up another plan to try to squeeze my client into the space. Amazingly, he squeezed them into the space. We didn't fall for it and you won’t if you get your own planner. Get a good one who doesn?t work for landlords Return ot Get Real And Competitive Bids
