COLLECTION OF DATA
Analyzing
your existing real
estate is a good starting place to determine what your space needs will
be in the future. The Client Information Survey
identifies; Location, square footage, utility infrastructure, image,
pricing, timing, clear height, loading, etc... Discussing these issues
will help me understand your real estate needs, so that when we
formulate a plan we can meet your expectations and ensure a smooth
transaction.
DEVELOPMENT OF REAL ESTATE PLAN
This
part of the process brings together the analysis of the data to create
a set of criteria that forms the basis for the property search. The
criteria will consider budget, timeframe, and location issues. For
example, employee drivetime is especially important because of the
labor shortage in the Twin Cities - you may want to sample employees to
determine what location they would prefer. It is important to have a
base set of criteria to save time throughout the process.

PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION
Based upon the criteria, we will conduct a property search and tour
availabilities. The criteria may change after looking at a few spaces,
but that change only helps me to better understand what type of real
estate will help you achieve your business goals for the best value.
Once properties have been selected that fit the criteria, we will
solicit proposals from each owner and begin negotiating. In conjunction
with the negotiating process, a space plan will be created that shows
the interior layout of the space, construction costs will be estimated,
and lease terminology scrutinized. The process is multi-faceted; I
manage the process so that you are free to continue running your
business. We will then sign a lease or purchase contract, and
begin preparing for the move. I can suggest companies to assist you
with furniture installation, data/voice cabling, and all sorts of other
"little things" that can ease the transition into a new facility. When
the doors are opened for that first time, you will have peace of mind
that the real estate process was completed as smoothly as possible in
the most efficient timeframe.
