BROKERAGE SERVICES · Space Search & Tenant Representation
Find commercial space for your Southern California business
Turn a business requirement into a focused commercial space search, with clear comparisons of location, layout, condition, costs and timing.
The right space search begins with how the business will operate. Aaron asks about the proposed use, target customers, preferred area, size, budget and opening schedule. Details such as room count, equipment, deliveries, appointment volume and parking needs help distinguish a workable location from an attractive listing photograph.
The initial shortlist should be manageable and based on the same criteria. Aaron helps review the information provided for each property, confirm advertised availability and coordinate tours where appropriate. A site visit then tests the layout, condition and access against the business plan. Existing improvements can be useful, but the required changes and proposed delivery condition need their own review.
Costs should be compared as a complete occupancy proposal. The discussion includes base rent, separately stated operating charges, increases, concessions, deposits and the improvement responsibilities proposed by each party. Timing also matters: the planned work, access to the premises and target opening should be discussed together rather than assumed from a single available date.
Aaron's primary practice includes landlord representation, so he will clarify whom he represents on a specific property and whether a separate tenant representation assignment is appropriate. An inquiry about a listed space starts that conversation. With the roles established, the next steps can focus on a clear exchange of information and the business terms needed to move the transaction forward.

Questions clients ask
What should I include in a space inquiry?
Include the business concept, desired cities, approximate size, total monthly budget and preferred opening date. Identify any essential equipment, parking or layout requirements.
Does contacting Aaron about a listing make him my tenant representative?
No. Aaron will explain the representation on that property and discuss whether a separate tenant representation assignment is appropriate for your search.
Can I tour before every detail of my business plan is finalized?
Yes, but a basic brief makes the tour more useful. At minimum, identify the proposed use, approximate budget, size and timing so the property can be screened for a practical fit.
