“Top 5 Reasons for Dedicated Tenant Representation” by Bo Barron, CCIM
The guy that came up with Supply and Demand was either incredibly smart or incredibly lucky. Adam Smith was definitely smart. Supply and Demand drives everything in real estate, and the same holds true for leasing space. How much space is available? How many active tenants are in the market competing for the space? Does it matter?

“Cost Segregation” by Bo Barron, CCIM
Investors buy investment property for numerous reasons, and I had a conversation with a business owner today about the benefits of owning space for his business. Some of those benefits include cash flow produced by the property, future appreciation value, and tax shelters from the IRS. However, property owners are giving too much to the IRS and missing out on real cash flow because they are not taking advantage of Cost Segregation. Substantial tax savings and realized cash flow are hidden beneath their feet, within the walls, and even in the parking lots of their buildings.

From Jim Tucker, CCIM (Richmond, VA) — Last month, the CCIM Virginia chapter organized it’s first ‘Deal Making Call’ to help circulate exposure for member’s listings, and the efforts wholly paid off in what can only be define as success! A total of 10 properties were presented with about 12 participants on the call including those members who pre-registered to present listings. Several participants offered feedback following the call saying they really liked the format. One other participant requested a package from a member to present to a potential buyer, so already we have a potential transaction from 1st Deal Call. With my past experience with these formats, I expect the call participation to steadily grow, potentially to between 50 and 100 folks. Going forward, we plan to promo participation on the call in a formal advertising campaigns and heavily across social media platforms.

By Carlton Dean - If you have, bought, sold, traded or even remotely been around real estate, you know the phrase “Location, Location, Location.” While this old adage couldn’t be more true when it comes to identifying great real estate, I am often asked the question “how do I identify opportunities in this marketplace?”

2009 will go down as one of the most challenging years in the history of commercial real estate and, for that matter, in the U.S. economy as well. There are some signs of life in the marketplace, although these shoots of new life are tender and it wouldn’t take much to kill them off. It remains clear that we have a long way to go to truly begin a full-fledged economic recovery.

ROLLING MEADOWS, IL, Dec., 14, 2009 - (by Pam Vincent) As the year comes to an end, Tom and I have been reflecting on this past year and making assumptions of what the next few years will bring to CRE. I have been looking at the photo Tom took on New Year’s Eve a couple of years ago when we were surprised by a heavy snowfall – it actually looked blue! Looking at the photo helps me realize we have a lot to be thankful for this year and instead of fretting about what the new year will bring, I will look forward to new challenges.

Every month there seems to be more and more negative reports about commercial real estate. The downturn brings out doom and gloom forecasts from every direction. But with so much information available investors are ignoring important facts and assets of my home state of Florida. If ever there were a time of opportunity to take advantage of market conditions; it is now. As the national press reports “with vacancy growing and rents falling, commercial property values are in the midst of the biggest drop since the Great Depression”. I couldn’t agree more – thus the opportunity! But how and where you ask?

Real Estate Auctions: A viable option to move properties quickly in a slow market.
With the rapid decline in prices driving market demand down, commercial properties of virtually all types are being successfully sold using accelerated marketing or auction techniques.
