Why Hire Acquisition Consultants?
Below is the most common feedback AC gets when representing our clients…
Costs Nothing/Less Stressful Process
Sellers and Landlords budget for and commit to paying commercial brokerage fees in their pro-forma and offer this to the brokerage community. For this reason, our services cost nothing to our clients. Acquisition Consultants will oversee the process from site, space, or building selection through agreement, execution, and occupancy. Additionally, Acquisition Consultants will absorb all complications and frustrations that may arise during the process. This allows the client to focus on their core business rather than the nuisances of a commercial real estate transaction.
Advice/Counsel
Acquisition Consultants strives to fully understand your space needs. In the process, Acquisition Consultants frequently encounters additional variables for our clients to consider and can offer additional insight on topics that may have otherwise been overlooked. In fact, having representation will help ensure the client does not sign a unilateral agreement primarily benefiting the Seller or Landlord. We often fulfill the role as “your subcontracted commercial real estate department.”
Market Knowledge
As active commercial brokers approaching 25 years in business, Acquisition Consultants has a pulse on the market. We have successfully negotiated commercial lease and sale transactions in all major product categories. Acquisition Consultants knows the prices at which commercial properties are currently selling and leasing. We subscribe to multiple services that allow us to compile comprehensive data including comparable commercial sale and leasing listings and area information such as current lease rates, cap rates, sales prices, average income, traffic counts, and demographics. Acquisition Consultants’ decades in business and current market information helps ensure our clients are making a well-informed decision.
Flexibility With Economic Uncertainty
All businesses have the risk of economic cycles and uncertainty. Acquisition Consultants makes sure our clients limit their exposure. If purchasing, Acquisition Consultants works diligently to secure a price that should withstand market fluctuations if our client’s needs change. If leasing, Acquisition Consultants aims to negotiate rates, expansion rights, termination rights and options that allow our clients to remain flexible as their business evolves. We believe flexibility is one of the most critical components for our clients as it relates to their commercial real estate needs.
Purchase Versus Lease Analysis
There are many factors that should be considered when deciding whether to buy or lease commercial real estate. If leasing, one should incorporate expansion rights, relocation rights and even termination rights to vacate the space early. If a particular landlord will not accommodate these options, there are plenty that will. Conversely, if purchasing, one should ask internal questions to satisfy needs as one’s business evolves – will this building provide excess space in which to grow? Can the commercial property be divided allowing third parties to lease unused space? Will there be a market for this commercial building other than my firm?
Allow Acquisition Consultants to alleviate the stress associated with securing a location while negotiating the best possible price. Let us utilize our 25+ years in business to make sure you do not overpay and retain maximum flexibility as your space needs change over the years.
Acquisition Consultants aims to build long-term relationships with our clients and would appreciate the opportunity to build one with your organization.
