CLIENT QUESTIONS · PROPERTY DECISIONS

How should a landlord prepare a commercial vacancy for marketing?

Give prospective occupants the information they need to judge the layout, condition and business fit before a tour.

All client guides

Prepare an accurate space description, current photographs, a usable floor plan and clear access instructions. Identify the suite's area, existing improvements, parking arrangements and proposed delivery condition. If adjoining space may be available, explain what is being offered and what remains to be evaluated. These details help a prospect understand the opportunity before committing time to a visit.

Ownership should also establish the initial business parameters: the proposed term, asking economics, improvement approach and preferred occupancy timing. Note known restrictions or unresolved property questions so they can be addressed consistently. Aaron can turn those materials into a focused leasing presentation, then use inquiry and tour feedback to identify where clarification or a change in approach would help the assignment.

Questions clients ask

Should the owner improve the space before marketing it?

That depends on the property and intended users. First identify the condition, likely requirements and ownership budget. Aaron can discuss how different delivery approaches would affect the presentation and negotiation.

Why is a floor plan useful when the suite is vacant?

It helps prospects evaluate shape, room placement, entrances and storage. A clear plan can reveal whether the space suits the business before a detailed site review.
