    Deciding to work with a real estate agent is almost comparable to accepting a new member into your family. You will be working closely with this person for the next several months, disclosing your thoughts, wants, needs, budget, worries and emotions…about this next business endeavor you’ve decided to move forward with. So you’ll want to work with someone you trust!

    I have been a commercial real estate agent for the past three years, and some of the projects I have worked on have had listings lasting many months if not years. That means that during the entire time we work together, I will be in frequent contact with you so it’s best if we like each other! My working relationships have had their ups and downs, but luckily mostly ups. Some have led to great business contacts and a few have even led to wonderful friendships outside of work. I think it’s important to build a good working rapport and learn to create good communication between each other. When we work together, we ultimately become partners working towards achieving the same goal. My job is to pursue your best interests in your real estate endeavors, otherwise I’m not doing my job.

    To put you at ease and introduce myself, I’ll tell you a little about me. I come from a Polish family that is still very culturally involved with its roots. I speak, read and write Polish fluently and am very close with my very large family. I’ve lived and grown in Chicago but have traveled all over the world and feel that I have a good understanding of lifestyles that are not like my own. I lead a very active lifestyle. I train and run several marathons a year while fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and two of my greatest passions are being involved with the Harley Davidson community as I own my own motorcycle, as well as rock climbing. I have also been learning how to surf during my many visits to California and Florida. I never pass the opportunity to try something new and I am a firm believer that the more I learn the more that becomes me.

    I am very career oriented and find great enthusiasm for the commercial real estate industry. I am experienced in representing both landlords as a leasing agent for properties ranging from 10,000 sq. ft to over 80,000 sq. ft. as well as tenants as a tenant representative with office, retail and industrial leases. I have done work in office sales representing buildings over 10,000 sq. ft. and have participated in commercial auctions. I am relentless in my canvassing and studies of the market and industry and enjoy what I do. I find a pleasure in meeting and networking with people, respect and appreciate the magnitude of the products (properties) I lease and sell, respect and pursue my client’s best interests, and am aggressive in my career goals. I believe in professionalism first and foremost, but like the idea of including creativity in projects and appointments. My efforts are dedicated to your project and my work!

Tips for Reducing Once of your Largest Business Expenses

Did you know rent is one of your biggest business expenses?
Rent is often one of your biggest business expenses. The tough economy has been trying for most of us, and your company may be looking for ways to help alleviate the impact of reduced business. You may have an opportunity to do so in a place you may not have looked: your lease.

If you have a lease expiring within a year, you can opt to relocate to a new office or renegotiate your current lease to lock in on the current low rental rates. As a tenant representative, I can do all the work for you. You will build greater leverage working with a tenant representative than trying on your own, resulting in the best deal possible for you. And, this service is at no cost to you. Take advantage while you can!

Having experience as both a leasing agent and working on behalf of owners as well as a tenant representative working on behalf of tenants, I know what is most important to owners and what is most important to tenants, and by working with me I can bridge the gap of information and create a deal that is best for everyone.

Call me for a no-obligation consultation. We can review and compare the past market rental rates, current rates and the prices we predict to see in the near future, and discuss options for your office space.

Worried about the expense of moving? I can help!
Relocation can help reduce your rent significantly, but the moving expense can draw away from your cash on hand. I can help! I will work to negotiate rent abatement in the initial months of your new lease, thus increasing your cash and reducing your overall rent expense even more. I am familiar with rent rolls and know what most owners will be agreeable to.

Worried that your rent won’t be as low as it could be because ownership has to factor in my commission? Don’t be!Most office buildings are leased by a management company or leasing agent; therefore a commission is already in place. When a tenant representative brings a prospect to a building, commissions are simply shared between the two agents. Just another reason that working with a tenant representative is to your advantage!

Worried you’ll have to much too worry about with a move? I can make it easy for you!
As a tenant representative I have a list of services and companies I can refer you to including: moving companies, printers, interior designers, data providers, insurance agents, etc. I can provide you with a checklist of things to do and provide you easy access to any service you may need.

Need help with your office search? Consider being represented by an agent It’s in your favor because it saves you the time and hassle of searching on your own and it’s free to you! A tenant/buyer representative researches the market for you, produces all availabilities within your needs, arranges tours, helps you build tremendous leverage and negotiates a lease/sales contract on your behalf.
