COMMERCIAL BUYER/TENANT SERVICES

Whether you are an individual investor seeking a new asset for your portfolio, or the officer of a business enterprise seeking to purchase or lease commercial space, Harbor City is uniquely qualified to assist you. Because Harbor City prohibits the practice of “dual agency”, we never serve two masters. We are hired to protect you. We help you negotiate contract terms that are as advantageous to you as possible. We also help guide you through the due diligence process to make sure that you receive the benefit of your bargain. Our agents have the education, experience and resources to successfully manage your real estate transaction needs. Several of Harbor City’s agents, including its Broker-in-Charge, are former real estate attorneys and benefit from years of experience working through complex real estate transactions. Although we act as brokers, and not as attorneys, we bring the full range of our knowledge base, our industry contacts, our negotiation experience and our advocacy skills to bear on behalf of our commercial real estate clients.

We act at the “quarterback” for all of our commercial buyer and tenant clients, and we add value at each stage of the transaction. Typically, our involvement with your transaction proceeds through the following stages:

Initial Consultation. We begin the process by meeting with you to discuss and review your short term and long term goals, risk tolerance, available cash, borrowing capacity, existing real estate portfolio, geographic preferences, and property type preferences. We also review and discuss the impact of any special circumstances that may apply to you, such as tax consequences that are specific to you. Where necessary, we coordinate our services with those of your other professional advisors, such as your accountant and attorney.
Property Search. We undertake property searches using two primary tools. First, we obtain information by maintaining subscriptions to a wide variety of local, regional, and national commercial property listing databases. Second, we learn about real estate opportunities through our extensive network of contacts in the development and brokerage community. Once we have narrowed the client’s need, we have the ability to project that need to the real estate community by working the phones and composing broadcast emails to the real estate industry sources who are most likely to deliver a product that matches our client’s need. We often find that the most appropriate or attractive commercial investment opportunities come to us through our informal network of industry professionals, rather than through the property listing databases.
Contract or Lease Negotiation. Because Harbor City prohibits the practice of “dual agency”, we are well positioned to assist you in negotiating contract terms that are as advantageous to you as possible. Because of our extensive negotiation and deal structuring experience, we often add value by injecting creative ideas to achieve a “win-win” solution for all parties.
Due Diligence, Financing and Closing. Our work does not end after the contract or lease is signed. Instead, we stay actively involved as your transaction manager to coordinate the services of attorneys, loan officers, environmental and civil engineers, architects, surveyors, insurance agents and other professionals, as needed to complete due diligence, finalize financing terms, and close the transaction.
