BUYERS AND TENANTS
Acquisitions of commercial real estate, buy or lease, are important business and investment decisions that have both immediate and long term consequences. At Lee Weddle & Associates, we take a long-term view of how an acquisition, buy or lease, affects your finances, portfolio and business operations. We add value by applying proven strategies to your acquisition:
Proactive Service Style
We use a proactive service style with all our clients. Our seasoned professionals help design the deal structure, negotiate the best possible terms, suggest alternative deal structures when needed and recommend strategies for contractual protection. And services don’t stop until we have managed and expedited the closing.
Customized Searches
Finding commercial property at the right location for the right price and other features and terms you may specify takes planning, time, extensive networks, seasoned experience and the perseverance to prevail. We begin by carefully helping you determine your specific space or investment needs, establish pricing ranges, and other criteria that is important for you to have a successful acquisition. Then through our established contacts and Coldwell Banker Commercial Networks, we find and present you candidates others cannot. Our national leadership position affords us insight and access to special networks and opportunities.
Making the Offer
Finding the right property is just the first step. Next is making an offer that is in keeping with your goals and yet will be attractive to the seller or landlord. We help analyze the target property by building financial models, evaluating alternatives, applying valuation techniques, and making market comparisons. We then help you craft the offer with terms and conditions that are attractive to sellers but afford you the best terms and contract protection.
Due Diligence Assistance
Before “going to closing” it is important that you perform the necessary due diligence to confirm the suitability of the property selected. This means confirming the owner’s representations made during the offer and negotiation period. We will be prepared to assist with the process by helping you determine the matters that need attention and making recommendations for those with the expertise to assist you in specific areas.
Structuring Strategic Alliances and Joint Ventures
The complexity and cost of acquisitions in today's economic environment often dictate strategies other than acquisitions. These may include strategic alliances, equity partnerships or joint ventures. Structuring these relationships is often more difficult than structuring an acquisition. We can help you face the challenge. Our seasoned and experienced personnel understand how these relationships are formed and structured in today's marketplace.
