Guardian Companies understands commercial property leasing, from beginning to end.  Although it's not rocket science, certainly there are elements of property leasing that require a thorough comprehension that many tenants will find overwhelming.  Guardian has the expertise, comprehensive market awareness, and extensive resources to assist you through the entire process:

§  Understanding key commercial real estate terms

§  Analyzing needs and determining square footage requirements

§  Assessing the lease vs. purchase decision (cost of occupancy analysis)

§  Providing a method of property comparison analysis based on a market survey

§  Developing the critical Request for Proposal (RFP)

§  Negotiating terms, including lease clause analysis and other issues of significance

Since the leasing process itself begins with an evaluation of the tenant's business needs, Guardian continually strives to look at all elements from the tenant's perspective.  Successful negotiations require that each party have knowledge and empathy in regards to the significant issues faced by the other.  This approach ultimately saves money, time and sometimes wasted effort. 

Identifying the required physical attributes of the facility includes size of offices, open areas, warehousing areas, size of common use areas such as conference space, break rooms and storage rooms, computer room requirements, and finishing standards.  Based on the results of the needs analysis, an accurate project schedule is established and property comparisons begin. 

Market knowledge is possibly the most important aspect of the Comparison Market Anaylsis (CMA).  It's essential to know general market conditions and have a keen awareness of the subtle dynamics of each sub-market to insure the accuracy and thoroughness of the report.  This is one of the primary reasons a tenant should have the assistance of a real estate broker, and Guardian is an industry leader.  With the experience and knowledge we can offer, you can be confident that the property options presented to you will be optimally well-suited for your organization.
