3 Ways to Improve Your Luck with Each Opportunity
Don't accept the deck is stacked against you
#1. ALLOW ENOUGH TIME
Commercial real estate transactions – both leases and purchases – take longer than most people think. From start to finish, the entire process typically takes a year, but there are several factors which can drag the timeline out much further. This handout maps out the complete timeline. If a business owner doesn’t allow enough time, this will likely eliminate property options and decrease negotiating leverage. To play it safe, we recommend meeting with your commercial agent 24 months in advance to review your goals and create the best strategy to achieve them.
#2. BE PREPARED
Commercial tenants and buyers will make the best decisions for their businesses when they are educated on the overall process, and reading content like this is a great start. Business owners can also get a head start by assessing their current space conditions, creating a must-haves list, and ranking their priorities. We call this a needs analysis, and when we meet with clients, we walk-through the exercise with this form.
#3. HIRE A GOOD TEAM
With each commercial transaction, it takes a team of talented professionals to complete, including a commercial lender, an architect, a general contractor, a real estate attorney, furniture and equipment representatives, and more. However, when a business owner partners with a commercial agent (like us) at the very beginning, the rest of these hires will come easy. As industry experts, part of our job is to ensure our clients stay on track and bring on the right team members at the right time throughout the process. And the best part is our services do not cost our clients any money; all commission fees will be covered by the landlord or seller. How lucky is that?

What Our Clients Are Saying
Remy was very helpful and straight forward with me about the challenges of starting a practice. He kept me well informed and was very proactive, a professional in every aspect of the real estate business. I could not have navigated this process without him; I will definitely use Remy for our future growth needs.
Dr. Kevin Semma, OD
Remy has been an indispensable part of my journey to build a veterinary practice. I had another commercial realtor that was not familiar with veterinary profession when Remy reached out to me. When I decided to stay with my previous realtor, Remy was willing to answer any questions I had or help in any way, even though I was not signing with him. I felt he genuinely wanted my business to succeed and wanted to help. Soon I realized the importance of having a realtor who has special knowledge of the healthcare field when choosing a space and decided to reach out to him. Remy is very professional, relaxed, and inviting. He brings his own expertise as well as others to consult about different aspects of building a practice. Remy is available, thoughtful, supportive, and assists in problem solving concerns that arise. The process was less stressful, because he was a partner in the process, not just a realtor. I have and will continue to recommend him for any commercial real estate needs.

Working with Mirlo Real Estate Partners was a great experience, and I could not be more impressed with the level of service I received. From the very beginning, Nick and Remy helped me establish my preferences and outlined the best strategy for my specific situation. Not only werethey able to find the PERFECT space for me in a brand new medical office building, but due to the tight deadline, they were also able to find me an OUTSTANDING temporary space to occupy during the construction period to minimize downtime for my practice. Their hard work and dedication really made the transition seamless. Their knowledge of my needs and the market was STRONG and helped me achieve VERY FAVORABLE terms. I would highly recommend them to any healthcare provider for their commercial real estate needs.

Not only did Remy advocate and fight for my best interest, but he also demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of my industry, exceeding my expectations and making the process as smooth as possible.
