SERVICES

Commercial real estate services for tenants, landlords, and investors across the Portland metro. Support is built around current market comps, real-time availability, and practical deal terms—designed to reduce risk, improve negotiating leverage, and execute efficiently in industrial, office, retail, and flex.

  • Structured guidance for renewals, relocations, expansions, and lease restructures. Typical scope includes requirement planning, submarket shortlists, tour coordination, proposal comparisons (effective rent), and negotiation of rent, TI, free rent, options, and operating expenses—aligned to timeline and buildout constraints.

  • Leasing and marketing support for owners and property managers focused on minimizing downtime and protecting value. Services commonly include pricing strategy, positioning, broker outreach, tour strategy, proposal review, and lease negotiations with emphasis on credit, term, concessions, and risk management.

  • Renewal planning that quantifies stay-vs-move economics and builds credible alternatives to strengthen negotiating posture. Deliverables may include market benchmarks, concession ranges, timeline planning, and a negotiation roadmap tailored to the asset, tenant profile, and relocation risk.

  • Efficient space searches driven by requirements, logistics, and submarket economics. Includes availability screening, tour planning, comparative analysis, and proposal strategy—particularly useful for industrial users evaluating loading, yard, power, and access, as well as office and retail users optimizing location, visibility, and parking.

  • Support for acquisitions and dispositions with clear underwriting inputs and market context. Typical work includes pricing guidance, rent and expense assumptions, tenant credit review, value-add strategy, positioning recommendations, and transaction execution support.

  • Opinion-of-value guidance and deal economics analysis using relevant comps and market benchmarks. Can include rent analysis, concession benchmarking, and scenario ranges to support planning, refinancing discussions, partnership reporting, and pricing decisions.

  • Concise market commentary and submarket snapshots focused on what changed and what it means for decision-making. Coverage can include availability shifts, new deliveries, absorption, concession trends, and notable transactions relevant to the property type and submarket.

“Matt helped us navigate a lease renewal that could have easily gone sideways. He benchmarked our terms against current market comps, laid out clear stay-vs-move options, and built a negotiation plan that gave us leverage without wasting time. The result was a clean renewal with improved economics and better flexibility for our business, and the process was organized, responsive, and low-stress from start to finish.”
