What to Know in Commercial Leasing
Professional Guides
Doing work honestly and ethically is a driving force at The Schneider Group. We take care of our clients and make sure they’re covered during the leasing process. Because we’re committed to mitigating legal risk in all transactions, our agents work hard to ensure a clear and trustworthy leasing experience for all parties.
Commercial leasing presents many potential pitfalls. Having a professional and reliable broker who regularly serves commercial landlords and tenants is critical for having a good experience.
The Process
Expert Support at Every Step
Whether you’re a tenant looking for a new space or you have a property you want to lease out, the experts at The Schneider Group can help. We work with clients on both sides of commercial leasing to create a smooth and positive experience, building productive relationships between lessees and landlords.
Leasing can be a complex process, but with an experienced broker on your side, you’ll feel confident in every step.
Define Your Needs
When beginning the leasing process, it’s important to know just what you’re looking for. You’ll need to consider a number of factors including the type of property, location, amenities, zoning, and design and branding considerations.
Plan Your Finances
It’s important to have a clear (and realistic) understanding of your budget before beginning the search for a commercial leasing property. On top of rent, be sure to account for the cost of utilities, insurance, and possibly tenant association or common area maintenance fees. Before starting your search in earnest, it can be a good idea to meet with a financial advisor to make certain that your budget is feasible. Your broker can recommend a reliable advisor if you don’t have one.
Get to Know Your Commercial Leasing Team
We’ll kick-off your property search with an in-depth get-to-know-you meeting, where we’ll cover your search needs and discuss the different working relationships available with our team.
Begin the Property Search
At this point in the process, your personal broker will work closely with you to identify suitable properties in the Denver area.
We’ll arrange walk-throughs for various properties in order for you to get a hands-on feel for the space and make the right choice for your business.
Negotiate Lease Terms
Once we’ve found you the perfect property, it’s time to begin negotiations for taking on the lease. The Schneider Group will work on your behalf to negotiate with the landlord or property manager on key commercial leasing terms including rent cost, lease duration, tenant improvement responsibilities, maintenance responsibilities, and any special conditions. Due to the level of competition in Denver’s market, strategic negotiations may be required to secure favorable terms, and The Schneider Group can make that happen. With decades of experience in both sides of commercial leasing, we’re able to navigate these complex negotiations to ensure a clear contract with no blind spots or loopholes.
Conduct Due Diligence
Even when commercial leasing, it’s important to conduct due diligence on a property. Your broker can help you hire an inspector, double check zoning compliance, and review existing leases or restrictions. We’ll also help confirm that the property meets your business requirements and complies with local regulations.
Negotiate the Lease Agreement
If following due diligence you confirm that the property is right for you, it’s time to finalize the lease agreement. Your broker will work with you to carefully review the lease and negotiate final terms. If needed, we’ll also call on trusted legal advisors to make sure that all negotiations are accurately reflected in the leasing contract.
Sign the Lease
Once negotiations are complete and you’re satisfied with the lease agreement, it’s finally time to sign! Both parties will need to sign the contract and retain a copy for their records.
Secure Insurance and Permits
Now that the property is yours, you’ll want to obtain the right insurance and permits for your commercial space. The Schneider Group can help you navigate these waters and determine which services and licenses your Denver business will require.
Move In!
When it’s time to move in, you’ll want to coordinate with the landlord or property manager to ensure a smooth move-in process. You may also need to make sure that the utilities are transferred to you and that any other necessary arrangements are made. As you begin operations, your broker will also help you ensure that you adhere to local Denver regulations related to zoning, signage, and other operation standards.
Post-Closing
While closing on your property is technically the end of your commercial buying journey, there may still be some loose ends to tie up such as fulfilling any post-closing duties including notifying tenants or making property improvements. Through the entire process and beyond, your commercial real estate broker is there to assist you and offer guidance and support.
