Investing in commercial real estate is, to put it mildly, a little bit complicated. So if you’re:

- Looking for a revenue-generating property
- Debating between buying and leasing office space
- Seeking a great lot to build your business on
- Investing in commercial or industrial buildings…

…You’ll certainly need a little expert guidance. Or a lot.

Cutting through the commercial real estate jungle

So whether you’re a new or seasoned investor, the first thing to do is sit with Nic to devise a strategic action plan. Think of Nic as both your investment advisor and your general, carrying out your plan in the jungle.

With his in-depth market knowledge and laser focus, Nic will help you define your real estate objectives.

Then he’ll counsel you on the market forces that can impact on your investment: timing, fluctuating demand, credit conditions, and, of course, location, location, location—to name only a few.

Executing your action plan

Once an action plan is agreed on, Nic will work efficiently with you and:

1. Find properties that fit your investment criteria
2. Evaluate the selling/rental price against comparable sales or leases in the market
3. Analyze the numbers to check on the property’s profitability; he knows how the numbers have to work
4. Explore creatively all your financing options so as to keep your financial outlay and tax exposure to a minimum
5. Call on his wide network of resources—engineers, appraisers, environmental analysts, etc.—to help with the due diligence and ensure there are no surprises
6. Negotiate the final price to make sure you get the best value for your investment
