What Makes a Good Commercial Real Estate Brokerage House?
Posted by: | CommentsA commercial real estate brokerage, or real estate brokerage house, is a firm designed to assist clients in their commercial real estate transactions. You will find various services available at a commercial real estate brokerage. Some specialize in a specific facet of real estate, such as office, retail or industrial properties. Some offer leasing only while others are strictly investment, and then there are those that offer both commercial leasing and investment. However, a quality brokerage house will have some level of all services available to a client.
It is suggested that a client look for a commercial real estate brokerage house that provides multiple levels of service. Some of those service levels include:
INVESTMENT & USER ACQUISITION: Buyers are represented by the commercial real estate brokerage with the goal of best location, price and terms.
•Determination of Client needs.
•Compilation of properties that meet acquisition criteria.
•Identification of those properties that best meet established goals.
INVESTMENT SALES: Owners are represented by Arizona commercial real estate brokerage with the goal of maximizing asset value.
•Aggressive, credible, strategic pricing.
•Preparation of custom designed marketing materials.
•Qualification of prospects.
LANDLORD REPRESENTATION: Landlords are represented by Arizona Commercial with the goal of maximizing net operating income.
•Market planning assistance.
•Marketing plan formulation and preparation of materials for print and web.
•Presentation to local, regional and national tenant prospects.
•Brokerage community meetings, mailings, personal presentation.
•Tenant qualification.
TENANT REPRESENTATION: Tenants are represented by Arizona Commercial with the goal of top sites and the best economic terms.
•Determination of Client needs
•Financial analysis of prospective locations
The reason you want a real estate brokerage that offers all of these services is so that they can grow with you, and it is also an indication of their level of commercial real estate knowledge.
For instance, if you start a business and are looking for a new location you will want to have your commercial real estate broker knowledgeable in retail leasing. Then as years pass, you might find that you need a manufacturing location that is also suited for a shipping facility. If your brokerage house has a wider range of services available, they will be able to assist you in this.
Then if a few years later your operation has grown to a point where you need to build a custom facility that can handle manufacturing and shipping, and that can also facilitate administrative offices and a retail storefront, then you will be entering into a new real estate field. This field would be called “built-to-suit,” land investment and development, or investment sales (depending on what was available and what option was right for you).
By dealing with a commercial real estate brokerage house who offers these services, you most likely would not have to search for a new broker each time your business grew. You would already be working with a company that was familiar with the markets in which you’re entering, and best of all, would already know you. This would lend to a certain level of comfort and trust in the transaction process that was already established from previous projects.

Commercial Mortgage Loans – Getting a Loan From a Hedge Fund
Posted by: | CommentsHedge funds and private equity firms are investment companies set up by Wall Street investment banks and funded by wealthy individuals and cash rich corporate entities. Unlike standard, publicly traded mutual funds, hedge funds are largely unregulated and have much more leeway in their investment choices. Many of these funds have recognized the opportunity that’s emerged in commercial real estate lending, and have stepped in to fill the funding gap. The money managers in charge of these massive pools of capital are savvy investing pros, they know a good deal when they see it and can be very nimble. Hedge funds and private equity funds are not afraid of risk; in fact they thrive on it. If they like a deal, they make decisions quickly and can close loan or equity financing in just days.
There are many private funds that specialize in commercial real estate investing or have a commercial mortgage lending division. They are cash rich and actively seeking quality deals to fund. They can be an excellent alternative to banks and other traditional lenders. But, be aware, they are very professional and highly sophisticated. Do not approach hedge funds with shoddy or incomplete packages. They’re pros and work exclusively with other pros.
Hedge fund and private equity people have a Wall Street mentality; they are traders art heart. When they look at a deal they want to be able to make decisions quickly.
When approaching a fund you’ll want to have a complete, well documented package ready to show them at a moments notice, but don’t give it to them all at once. Having worked for Wall Street firms for more than 20 years, I’ve determined that the best way to approach money mangers is with a concise, well written 1 page deal summary.
Sum-up the selling points of your deal on a single sheet of paper, stressing the profit potential, the investors level of experience, the strength of the location and some of the other strong points of the project. They’ll appreciate the fact that you respected their time by being brief. If they like what they see they will ask for more. Give them precisely what they ask for; don’t bog them down with documentation until they tell you they want to see it. Sell them the big story before you try to sell them the details.
If you want to secure funding from a big private equity shop or a hedge fund, I’d strongly suggest you utilize the services of a professional intermediary with Wall Street experience. They can speak the language of fund managers and know exactly what’s important to highlight about a particular deal. These funds tend to operate like private clubs, it helps a-lot if you have an “in”. If you are fortunate enough to develop a relationship with this unique type of lender, you will enjoy a seemingly endless source of capital.
