A commercial lease is an enforceable contract between tenant and landlord, but it takes a two-way discussion to get it right for both parties. That sounds intimidating, but both sides look for a long-term, stable agreement. Your circumstances and your leasing negotiations are unique to you. Assume nothing when it comes to leasing questions, if “it’s not in writing, it has not been said.”

In this webinar:

Learn how to be fully prepared before entering into lease negotiations.
Learn to ask for what you want and what you will settle for before you sign anything. If you don’t ask, you won’t get it.
Hear about the different stages of negotiations.
You will get the opportunity to ask questions, and you will also learn how to request a meeting with a SCORE certified mentor to help you navigate your specific case.
