PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION |
Cook Commercial’s
extensive relationships and state-of-the-art information
services enable us to immediately know when new properties
become available. Our knowledge of tenant’s
future plans often permits us to know when a space
will be available, even before the landlord knows.
We will identify properties in writing so that there
will never be any miscommunication. |
|
PROPERTY EVALUATION |
We will help
you analyze prospective locations in detail and assess
whether or not they truly satisfy your needs. We
will analyze financial considerations such as rent,
rent escalations, rent abatement, tenant improvements,
operating expenses, and options for renewal or early
termination. We will also base our recommendations
on physical considerations such as location, options
for expansion, parking availability, physical suitability,
efficiency, size and other pertinent requirements. |
|
STRATEGIC PLANNING |
Before you
know if a property truly suits your firm’s needs, you should determine
how your current and future business plans fit into
the physical space. Our ability to understand your
organization’s
vision allows us to identify architects, designers,
vendors and contractors who are qualified to help you
make your decisions accurately, promptly and with peace
of mind. In most cases, we can negotiate with the landlord
to compensate your team of vendors and service providers
directly. |

|
AGREEMENT NEGOTIATION |
There is more
to negotiations than price. Many other terms and conditions
affect occupancy expense to a far greater degree. In
coordination with a Tenant’s legal counsel, we
will be there to assist with all facets of negotiation:
initial proposal or request for proposal, the letter
of intent, lease documents (or purchase and sale agreement)
and the final construction agreement. Your legal counsel
will appreciate our knowledge and experience. Together
we will cover the bases and strive to secure the best
price, terms and conditions. |
|
THE DETAILS |
Once you
have found the space and negotiated a purchase agreement
or a lease, you then face the challenges of design,
construction and move in. This is where working with
Cook Commercial can really pay off. We have structured
our services to extend beyond the property acquisition
phase. Over the years, we have developed an extensive
network of service providers and contractors to help
you complete your new facility. Upon request, we can
assist your firm in securing qualified outside construction
and relocation vendors, including space planners, designers,
architects, general contractors, construction managers,
furniture vendors, moving companies and data/telecommunications
consultants. |

firm that always represents you and your needs. |
