Brokerage Services Overview
Landlord Representation
Today’s competitive market requires a comprehensive approach when leasing commercial properties. One facet is an aggressive marketing plan since custom marketing ensures that a property is leased promptly and in a manner consistent with the Landlord’s overall objectives.
In addition, steps must be taken to maximize asset value and increase a property’s cash flow. As Landlord Representative, CMI employs a complete strategy to accomplish the following goals:
Property/Market Analysis:
Property analysis begins with a thorough examination of the building and its environment to determine the property's value within the market, especially as perceived by potential tenants.
Positioning Strategy:
A SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis serves as a basis for a targeted marketing plan. Strategies are then tailored to capitalize on the use of every available resource while taking proactive steps to avoid potential problems.
Aggressive Marketing:
CMI understands the qualities that appeal to certain target markets, and our experienced professionals have the insight to relay these qualities to prospective tenants in the most effective and cost-efficient manner.
Lease Negotiation:
When negotiating a lease, CMI strives to exceed landlord expectations while strengthening the bond of mutual respect with a prospective tenant. The ability to determine the motivation behind a particular request allows our brokers to control the negotiation process and bring about significant results that benefit all parties.
Closing the Deal/Tenant Retention Programs:
CMI knows that long-term tenant satisfaction is just as crucial as initial negotiations. Our professionals maintain good rapport with tenants throughout the term of occupancy.
Tenant Representation
Leasing the right space can build credibility and image for a business, but it is critical that the space is also functional and efficient. Locating lease space that best fulfills a particular company’s size and usage requirements while staying within defined geographical and financial parameters can be challenging and time-consuming. CMI’s brokers excel at delivering personalized, strategically-focused solutions that ensure a client’s ability to enjoy a pleasant and efficient space.
There are a multitude of factors that impact tenant satisfaction, and CMI’s experienced brokers have a solid track record of negotiating leases that satisfy expectations. Chase Bank, Pizza Hut, Baskin Robbins, Sue Mills, Walgreens, Kroger and Loehmann’s are just a sampling of the national tenants who have relied on CMI’s knowledge and impeccable service for their leasing transactions.
Commercial Real Estate Sales
For more than 30 years, CMI has been helping investors capitalize on opportunities in the Houston and Dallas markets. As a Houston owned and operated firm, CMI’s brokers possess a unique knowledge and level of experience, both of which benefit local and global investors. In the past decade alone, CMI has brokered sales transactions in excess of $150 million in addition to overseeing the disposition of over 2,000 commercial acres of raw land in Houston and the surrounding area.
Asset Valuation
Every real estate investment requires accurate valuation and analysis. CMI brokers, upon request, can perform property and asset valuations on behalf of our clients. Our professionals can support investor decisions through a variety of valuation methods including Open Market, Discounted Cash Flow, Rental, Capitalized Yields and Depreciated Replacement Cost.
Real Estate Recovery
