Are you outgrowing your home office? Kids and dogs making it difficult to speak professionally on the phone? Have you been considering getting an office or retail location but are afraid of getting into a lease?Well, 2009 may be the year to take the plunge according to our January 13th speaker, Carol Gwin. Carol is a commercial real estate broker and she spoke on the ins and outs of renting commercial property.
If you feel it's time to get your business out of your home you should know that there are hundreds of thousands of feet of available office or retail space. Rents are really low and leases are much more negotiable than they were in the past. Two years ago if you wanted a retail or commercial location the landlord was in the drivers seat and you had few if any negotiating powers. Now is a terrific time for a business to negotiate a more favorable lease.
According to Carol, in commercial real estate, EVERYTHING is negotiable, but make sure you get everything in writing. For more information on commercial property available in East County, call Carol Gwin at 925.625.5788.
