Lets face it, the world of commercial real estate is complicated and you’re lucky if you get a call back!
This class will familiarize you with the basics of commercial real estate leasing. Understanding the flow, what you need to know, and how to best prepare. No two deals are the same although there are fundamentals that are important to be aware of as well as expectations from both tenant and landlord.
Topics include:
- The commercial real estate process
- The NNN Lease defined and what you need to know
- Selecting the right firm/broker for you
Bring your questions, leave with answers!
