Our focus is to provide business (tenants) with comprehensive services in locating and negotiating office leases and or sales transactions with the Owner or Landlord.  This also encompasses lease renewals, expansions, subleases and terminations.  This saves the tenant much time, money and avoids complications.  We service the Southern California region which include:  Orange County, Long Beach, Los Angeles and the Inland Empire.

How we are different from the competition

·       We are California licensed real estate professionals.

·       We are informed and up to date about the latest developments in the commercial real estate market: Including current market rent;  buildings for sale and the impact that it will have on future rental rates and operating expenses.

·       We are knowledgeable about the services and costs that are prepaid by the landlord and negotiate them to pass those savings on to you.

·       Many landlords strategize and build “profit centers” into your lease taking advantage of the unrepresented client.  We work on your behalf to ensure that this does not happen.

·       Review your yearly operating expenses pass throughs to ensure that the landlord is not passing through any additional expenses you have not agreed to in the lease.

·       We have an excellent reputation and relationship with landlords.  This translates into being able to negotiate more aggressive leases and smooth transactions on your behalf.
