🎉 LEASE SIGNED — Lower Dimond District, Oakland, CA!

I have to share this one because it's a perfect example of why representation matters.

Before my client found me, they had already tried to lease this very space on their own. The Landlord declined the application. They spent the next few months looking at other locations — but nothing felt right. Something kept pulling them back to that original space.

When they came to me, I knew exactly what we needed to do.

We built a thorough, professional business and financial package that told their full story — the vision, the track record, the readiness. Then I went to the Listing Broker and advocated for a reconsideration.

The Owner said yes. We negotiated terms that work in my client's favor. Lease signed. ✅

This is why it's so important not to navigate commercial real estate alone. The right advocate can completely change the outcome — even when you've already been told no.

I am so proud of this client and so excited for what they're about to create in Oakland's Lower Dimond community. 🙏🏾

Are you a small business owner looking to lease, purchase, develop commercial real estate in the SF Bay Area? I'd love to be in your corner.

🎉 LEASE SIGNED — San Francisco, CA!

I am so excited to celebrate this WIN with my client — a nonprofit organization with three existing locations throughout San Francisco — who just leased their FOURTH space, complete with an option to purchase!

Here's the real story: we spent two months negotiating a different space, and at the last minute, it didn't work out. My client was understandably frustrated. I kept encouraging them — "When it's for you, it will be for you." (I'll be honest, they weren't quite as sure. LOL!)

But we stayed the course. Two months later, a better opportunity came along — one that not only met their needs but gave them a path toward ownership. That's a legacy move for any nonprofit.

I am deeply grateful for the trust my clients place in me, especially through the tough moments. Watching organizations grow their footprint and deepen their community impact is the most rewarding part of this work.

If you or someone you know is looking to lease, purchase, or develop commercial property anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area — I'd love to be a resource.

📄 TIP TUESDAY

💡 How to Negotiate TI (Tenant Improvement) Allowances

Did you know you can negotiate with your landlord to help cover build-out costs for your business space? That’s where TI allowances come in.

✅ What’s a TI Allowance?
It’s money offered by the landlord to help you customize the space for your needs — whether that’s new flooring, plumbing, or layout changes.

🛠️ Tips to Maximize Your TI Deal:

1. Come prepared – Know your build-out budget in advance.
2. Ask early – Discuss TI during lease negotiations.
3. Tie it to lease length – Longer leases often justify larger TI packages.

Whether you're opening a salon, office, or restaurant — don’t leave money on the table.

🏢 Leasing Tip for Landlords & Brokers
Thinking about listing your commercial property? Make sure your lease checks these 3 key boxes tenants care most about:

🔑 1. Clear Rent Terms
Tenants want to know the base rent, CAM charges, and if there are annual increases. Transparency builds trust.

📆 2. Flexibility & Lease Term
Shorter initial terms with renewal options make your space more appealing—especially to small business owners.

🔧 3. Who Handles What?
Clearly outline who’s responsible for maintenance, repairs, and improvements to avoid surprises later.

📑 Thinking About Leasing a Commercial Space?
Before you submit your proposal, make sure you’re fully prepared to stand out and get the terms you want! 💼🏢

Here are 5️⃣ essential steps to take before submitting a commercial lease proposal:

1️⃣ Have Your Business Plan Ready – Show the landlord you're serious and have a clear vision.
2️⃣ Gather Financials – Be ready to provide 2–3 years of tax returns, profit & loss statements, or proof of funding.
3️⃣ Know Your Build-Out Needs – Understand what improvements you need and whether you're requesting a tenant improvement allowance.
4️⃣ Clarify Your Timeline – Be clear about your desired possession date and how soon you plan to open.
5️⃣ Review Comparable Rents – Be informed about market rates so you can negotiate from a strong position.

⚖️ Bonus Tip: Always have a broker (like me 😉) guide you through the process — it could save you time, money, and future headaches.

📲 DM me if you’re looking for a space or ready to submit your proposal. Let’s secure the best terms possible for your business!
