For those of you new to the "Real Estate Leasing Tips Newsletter", there are a few things you should know about me, and about the writing styles of our various contributors.
First of all, we have to confess that we are not journalists or professional writers - although our hope is that someday soon you might disagree with that statement... (-:
What you probably will agree with is that we all have very distinct writing styles. Steve is a little more technically oriented while I'm... well suffice it to say that you'll hear it the way it is. Anyway, if you notice grammatical errors, please try to read on and ignore them. But, if you are anything like me (they drive me nuts), don't hesitate to drop us a note. Due to the lack of "enough hours in the day", past errors probably won't be corrected but we will gain from your input and it might help you to feel a little better as well (o:
Also, we typically utilize the pronoun "he" in reference to landlords, tenants, brokers, etc., throughout the newsletters. This is not meant to imply that there are only men in the business or to be at all offensive to women. It is only used for the sake of simplicity. In addition to being sensitive to this issue personally, I have had the pleasure of working with many experienced and well-respected women in the business community and I would not want any woman to find this to be offensive. Every once in a while, I get a little bugged and insist that both of us try and refer to "he/she" or (s)he, just to be politically correct. Of course, Steve is well trained and I get my way. Well, at least sometimes...
We try to write in a fashion that most people will be able to grasp and understand, even though they may not be experienced in commercial real estate. With some of the more technical issues (i.e. lease clauses, etc.), this is sometimes is a little difficult since it can get very involved. If you find a concept to be challenging, keep in mind that even seasoned professionals have difficulty grasping some of these concepts.
Please understand that our staff is not trained to respond to detailed requests for assistance and as a result, can only answer very general questions. Steve on the other hand, is available as a consultant at $175.00 per hour and would be happy to assist you in reviewing leases, advising on negotiations or helping you problem solve through other issues of concern. If you would like to arrange a personal telephone consultation, please contact us at (303) 325-3024 and we will be happy to coordinate the appointment.
We hope that, over time, you will gain a great deal of knowledge from this newsletter. Comments and topic suggestions are always welcome. Email Us
Enjoy!
