Renewing your commercial real estate lease is as important as negotiating any new deal. Given that rent may be your second-highest overhead expense after payroll, it makes good business sense to engage the services of a Tenant Representative as experienced as the RakowGroup.

Advice: Contact us at least six months before the date you're required to notify your landlord of your intention to renew.

RakowGroup clout can give you the leverage you need to successfully renegotiate your commercial lease -- to help win you desirable new terms effective immediately, not when your lease expires.

Leveling the Playing Field

Since lease negotiation is not a core competency of most businesses, hundreds of companies over the last quarter century have turned to the RakowGroup. They have benefited from a process perfected over this time span that gives tenants the upper hand when it's time to renew their lease.

As you'll see, our secret sauce in negotiating a favorable renewal starts with exploring other available properties. We offer you first-hand knowledge of virtually all available commercial real estate in Westchester County, NY, Fairfield County, CT, and elsewhere.

By motivating other landlords to offer you an attractive deal, we can then leverage this fact with your current landlord. By so doing, you could find yourself paying considerably less than you expected to on your next lease and gain other favorable terms.

6 Steps Toward Optimizing your Renewal Lease

Step 1. Define your objectives

• We will help you determine everything that must be taken into consideration before deciding whether to renew at your present location or to relocate.

Step 2. Explore other properties

• Even though you plan to renew at your present location, we'll help you search other available properties. That may enable us to leverage the cost of other properties in negotiating your lease renewal.

Silver lining: you may uncover a more desirable property that justifies relocation. If so, you will be interested in the
RakowGroup Relocation Process.

Step 3. Proposal

• We will prepare and send an identical Request for Proposal (RFP) to the owner of any property of interest to you.

Step 4. Negotiate with top candidates

• We are deeply experienced negotiators, able to negotiate the best possible deal with owners of other properties that may interest you. We know how to create a competitive environment that works to your distinct advantage.

Step 5. Negotiate with current landlord

• With the results of our negotiation with other owners in hand, we've now gained the ability to negotiate the best possible deal with your current landlord. Rely on Rakow to leverage your advantage, resulting in renewal terms that are surprisingly favorable.

Step 6. Culminate lease

• We will help you sort through the enormity of details that impact operating costs, working conditions, peace of mind, comfort and convenience for years to come.
  

Reminder: RakowGroup renewal - and relocation - services are available to you at no charge. The landlord typically factors
in our fee whether or not you have representation.
