Lease Administration 101: It’s All Fun and Games Until You Miss an Option

Securing the perfect site, hiring a top-notch team and orchestrating the grand opening can really get the adrenaline pumping. But not many people find back-office details like lease administration nearly as stimulating. As one of the top expenses of doing business, the real estate lease can either represent a gold mine of savings or bottomless pit for money and missed opportunities. This session will review the fundamentals of lease administration. You’ll also learn how a competent professional can effectively administer leases with the right eye for detail, hands-on training and cutting-edge tools. Don’t wait until you miss an option or lose your most profitable location to get educated.

When it Comes to CAM Fees, Lessee Beware!

If you lease retail, restaurant or commercial space, CAM (Common Area Management) fees are a normal part of doing business. However, lessees beware because these expenses can be anything but cut-and-dry. Do you know what questions to ask about your CAM obligations before entering into a new lease? Does your lease specify who is responsible for repairs and expenses, from parking lot potholes to strip center electric bills? And what type of negotiation power do you have when new tenants move in or out? Whether you’re a hands-on site operator or manage a large portfolio of units across the country, this session will equip you with the lease language and negotiation skills needed to master the art of CAM.

Evaluating Lease Management Software: ROI Before You Buy

So you’ve managed your commercial leases in-house, and it seemed like a good idea…until your company grew or your staff shrank. Now what’s an evolving company to do? While there are a number of high-tech solutions designed for lease administration, understanding how to evaluate them is key. This session will begin by helping you pinpoint your current resources, then balance the pros and cons of the many software options. We’ll also focus on the lease management software investment and how to identify your potential ROI before you buy.
