How much will it cost for us to represent you?
So the question is how much money will you leave on the table without our assistance?
Let us help you save money at no cost to you!
Will being represented by us save you money?
For example, it’s very typical that we can find an additional $.50 or $1 per SqFt of negotiating room on most deals for spaces over 5,000 SqFt. If we can get a $1 per SqFt reduction on your 5,000 SqFt space, on a 5 year lease that results in a $25,000 savings.On top of that, we also understand how to get your rent abated (free rent) when you initially move-in.
We can also negotiate the deal so that you start paying at a reduced rate. Furthermore we understand how to negotiate an improvement allowance, to be used for space modifications.
We know all of the levers that can be pulled, and which combinations to pull them in…to result in the landlord agreeing to the most favorable deal for you.
What types of businesses do we work with?
Over the years we’ve worked with thousands of businesses in the Twin Cities ranging the spectrum of business types. If you need warehouse space we can assist you!
What resources do we have access to that you don’t?
Without access to these advanced tools, the average business owner searching on their own to find a space is only seeing about 30% of the total listings that are actually vacant or coming available. This is yet another reason to utilize our services. You want to be sure you’re seeing all of the available options on the market, not just the 1/3 you can see by searching the internet on your own.
We also have access to a broadcasting tool that goes out to everyone that owns or represents warehouse industrial space listings available for lease in the Twin Cities (there are about 1,000 of us). As part of the searching process we’ll send a broadcast email to all 1,000 of these folks, that lists out your “ideal space criteria”.
Then we let them respond back with suitable options. In one-fell-swoop this will flush out a large amount of qualified spaces that are available. Instead of you spending hours searching on your own for spaces, we get the Landlords and their reps to flood our inbox with qualified options.
This is another example of our experience turning into efficiencies that can be leveraged to control the outcome to your advantage.
How accurate are online listing sites?
Oftentimes there are also spaces that are soon to be vacant, or that have a month-to-month tenant occupying them. Both of these scenarios are also not reflected when you’re searching online listings. We have proprietary access to the most accurate listing sites on the market, leaving no stone unturned.
We also have the ability to broadcast and inbox landlords or their representatives to flush out the off-market spaces that could be viable options for you. This tactic isn’t an option for those who don’t use our services.
Our extensive connections within the industry will be of benefit to you when we assist you in your search for a new warehouse space.
How long will it take to find your ideal warehouse space?
Generally you should start the process to find warehouse space 90 days or more prior to your ideal move-in date. That being said, we regularly have folks that contact us on a Monday, and are moving into the new space that same week, or the following week.
Whatever your time-line to find a warehouse space is; whether it’s sooner or later, we can help!
When will your new warehouse space be ready for occupancy?
We’re involved in around 80-100 lease deals each year, so we’ve seen all different types of projects that have resulted in varying lead times. Because of our experience we understand what is acceptable and what is not regarding time frames for scheduling. We’ll manage this process for you as part of our service.
We’ll ensure your project has a reasonable timeline for completion, and that the Landlord and their vendors adhere to the set timeline.
What happens after you move into your new warehouse space?
We’ll continue to be available to you should you have any questions about the new space, or need to work through anything with the space itself, the building, or the landlord. We won’t disappear on you…we’re here to help in the short-term and long-term.
When it’s time to renew your lease we’re here to help you get the best deal with your landlord. Once again this service costs you nothing!
Should you decide you want to move to another location at the end of your lease we’ll be ready to help you find a new home for your business.
Or maybe you need to expand during your lease to a larger space. We can also help you with that.
Whatever you need we’re here to help! For us it’s about building long-term relationships, and being of service.
