Bob Clark, News Radio 770 KKOB: Walt you wanted to discuss Tenant Representation and how the process could benefit Tenants in their selection of new lease space

Yes, good morning Bob.  Tenants will try to look for new lease space on their own and end up negotiating in a Silo, meaning they deal with one landlord at a time, thereby eliminating any competition that will work to their benefit.  The competition is strong for tenants that are relocating. And that is why exclusive tenant representation is in their best interests.

Has the “Great Thaw” Begun in Commercial Real Estate?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

While Ocala, FL is a small microcosm in the enormous universe of commercial real estate, it’s amazing how this little market acts in unison with the larger national marketplace. I guess this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise really, since over half the commercial real estate in Ocala is owned by people who live outside Marion county.  Things are heating up here in Ocala for Q1 2010, and I hope we’ll see this on the national level.  Mr. Market appears to be coming back from his slumber and I’m wondering…Has the Great Thaw begun?

Bob Clark, News Radio 770 KKOB: Walt, there is so much doom and gloom in commercial real estate these days, are there any opportunities in this market?

Good morning Bob. Before I start, I just want to mention how much I enjoyed the Winter Olympics.  There were so many great stories and the drama was exceptional.  I have to admit I am still baffled by curling, the teamwork, the strategy, the preciseness in making the correct move.  The enthusiasm of the crowd was a little hard to figure out and as much as I watched it, I still have no idea how the game is won.  But I did understand the student sign in the Pit against Air Force that said Curling is more exciting than AFA Basketball, now that made sense.

Commercial Real Estate Making You MAD?

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

| Steve Kawulok, Fort Collins CO, March 13,2010 | 2010 is shaping up to be a year of “resolution”, or at the least, attempt at resolution. Increasingly, sellers have fallen into the MAD cycle. They go from Motivated, to Anxious, and then to Distressed sellers. With odds against a seller in today’s market ( more sellers than there are buyers), the MAD cycle is becoming much more commonplace. This MAD cycle phenomenon illustrates the ever-widening gap in a two-tier market evolving in commercial real estate.
