How to Successfully Negotiate Commercial Leases
#
#

TREC Approved CE Course Number: 39176

This course is invaluable to the tenant rep broker, the property manager, and the owner’s building rep. Even CPA-brokers, attorney-brokers, and CCIMs have complimented this course.

This comprehensive course is a detailed exploration of the commercial lease document and its usual clauses. The student is presented with specific negotiation strategies from both the landlord and tenant’s perspective.

Generally leases have a predisposition to favor the party who drafted it. The goal of this course is to assist the commercial real estate professional in learning techniques and options so the final negotiated lease document equally serves both landlord and tenant. At the successful conclusion both parties find they are legally protected so inherent risks are appropriately considered.

This practical course includes critically important negotiation checklists, techniques, and strategies for successfully navigating all clauses likely to be included in a modern commercial lease. A sampling of what the student will learn includes:

  • How to negotiate the pro-landlord lease for balance and fairness
