Today my company, Andrea Davis CRE, is ranked one of the top 10 office brokerage firms in Phoenix. My goal is to share commercial real estate secrets that save my clients time, energy and money.
While a portion of my business is facilitating lease negotiations for business owners, my favorite part of brokerage is acquisitions and dispositions. I’ve sold millions of dollars of buildings supporting companies that want to invest in themselves and the American Dream to invest in themselves. Within my industry locally, I’ve closed so many owner/user commercial buildings, I’m referred to as the “Office Condo Queen”.
Industry Lingo: An owner/user or owner-occupied building is typically defined as a property where a company locates its business and occupies at least half of the subject property.
For me, the American Dream is property ownership. It’s a no brainer. Ownership – it pays – provided you have a plan in place and analyze the odds. Why not put some of that rent in your own pocket instead of making the landlord richer?
