Our Approach
At Shelton & Associates, we believe in taking a personalized approach to every project. We work closely with our clients to understand their unique needs and develop tailored solutions that meet their goals.
Lease Negotiations - Maximizing Value Beyond Rent
We manage every stage of the lease negotiation process, from initial proposals and letters of intent to final lease review, ensuring our clients secure the best possible terms. Our expertise goes beyond just rent and lease duration—we conduct a comprehensive analysis of lease provisions, working alongside legal counsel to protect our clients' interests. By identifying key negotiation points often overlooked, we create additional value in lease agreements that can have a lasting impact on business operations and overall corporate strategy.
Lease Renewals & Renegotiations
Tenants benefit greatly from professional tenant representation when considering a lease renewal or relocation. With our deep market insight, negotiation expertise, and extensive lease document knowledge, we advocate for our clients to secure the best possible terms. Our strategic approach ensures cost savings on office rent while optimizing lease agreements to align with business objectives.
Strategic Planning
Our process begins with a detailed consultation to fully understand our client’s real estate objectives. We assess their short- and long-term goals, market preferences, budget considerations, lease requirements, expansion plans, and facility needs. By gathering these insights, we create a strategic plan that aligns their real estate decisions with their broader business strategy, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Market Analysis
Shelton & Associates conducts a thorough market analysis to identify properties that best match your unique requirements. Using a strategic approach, we evaluate available options, apply a rigorous screening process, and curate a targeted shortlist of the most suitable properties for your consideration. From there, we'll hit the ground running, touring potential properties to find the perfect fit for you.
Financial Analysis
We conduct a comprehensive financial analysis that evaluates rental rates, concessions, rentable versus usable square footage, tenant improvement allowances, operating expenses, and other key economic factors. This detailed assessment helps you make informed decisions, ensuring you secure the most cost-effective and strategic space for your business needs.
Space Programming - Occupancy
We will collaborate with you to fully understand your needs and goals, making sure every detail reflects your vision. Our role will be to oversee the coordination with the architect and contractor, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and meets your expectations.
Critical Date Reminders
In commercial real estate, tracking critical lease dates is crucial to prevent costly mistakes and ensure smooth operations. Key dates to monitor include the Lease Commencement Date, Lease Expiration Date, Renewal Option Deadline, Termination Option Deadline, Expansion/Contraction Notice Deadline, Right of First Refusal/Offer Deadline, Security Deposit Return Date, and Renewal Deadlines.
Compensation
Our services are free to you, as the landlord’s broker shares their fee with us, similar to a residential real estate transaction. As your exclusive Tenant Rep broker, our fiduciary duty is to you alone, while the landlord's broker represents the building owner. We are committed to protecting your interests and ensuring you’re never on the losing side. Learn More!
