Contrary to popular suppositions, a real estate company is not simply one division that manages properties and serves clients. Most real estate companies are divided into several categories: sales, commercial and investment, and property management, to name a few. The sales division often is separated into residential and rental areas. The commercial and investment category is separated into divisions, property consultants, leasing consultations, and landlord and tenant representation. The property management category is concerned with services that help homeowners make their property more efficient and worthy.
The Commercial & Investment Division Services include consultants for both investments and properties, lease consultations, and commercial ground leasing. The consultants help maximize a real estate’s asset value by thoroughly evaluating the property’s net worth and potential through a market analysis, an income and expenses approach, and a marketing plan.
They also help increase a property’s cash flow and return on the investment while securing quality tenants. The lease consultants handles many types of leases including gross, net, triple-net, shopping center, and land or ground. A gross lease is when the tenant pays a flat rental amount while the landlord pays for the property charges. A net lease requires the tenant to pay a portion of the property expenses along with the rent. The triple-net lease is where the tenant is responsible for paying the property tax, insurance, maintenance, and rent. The shopping center lease allows the lease holder to sell and promote a brand or product. A ground or land lease is one that is long-term and requires the tenant to improve the land in question. The Commercial Division helps negotiate for tenants and landlords in the field of commercial ground leasing.
With the Commercial & Investment Division Services, landlords and tenants can find what they are looking for in a consultant. These consultants will help increase the value and marketability of the property. They will also work with tenants and businesses to seek out the most appropriate location for said business, as well as obtain the correct lease. In some cases, this division will offer advice when deciding on a site, managing a project, or handling a lease’s negotiation with the exclusive landlord and tenant representation.
