Our Commercial Real Estate Services
Commercial Property Acquisitions
We represent buyers in commercial property purchases, handling due diligence, contract negotiation, title review, environmental assessment, financing coordination, and closing.
Commercial Lease Negotiation
We negotiate commercial leases on behalf of both landlords and tenants, addressing rent structure, tenant improvements, CAM charges, renewal options, assignment and subletting, and default provisions.
Due Diligence & Title Review
Our thorough due diligence process examines title history, survey issues, environmental conditions, zoning compliance, existing tenant leases, and financial performance.
1031 Exchanges
We advise on like-kind exchange transactions under IRC Section 1031, helping investors defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds into qualifying replacement properties within required timelines.
Property Dispositions
When it is time to sell, we prepare your property for market, negotiate sale terms, handle closing documentation, and coordinate with tax advisors on structuring the disposition for optimal tax treatment.
Landlord-Tenant Matters
We advise on lease enforcement, tenant defaults, lease modifications, early termination negotiations, and dispute resolution for both commercial landlords and tenants.
