Publisher's summary

  • Are you an entrepreneur looking to secure your first commercial space?
  • Are you an experienced business owner looking to scale your operations?
  • Are you preparing to negotiate your upcoming commercial lease renewal with your landlord?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the book for you!

Throughout his career, Raphael Collazo has helped business owners identify, analyze, and ultimately secure commercial space for their business operations. However, after guiding many through the process, he realized how little his clients knew about leasing commercial real estate. After scouring the web for resources he could share with them, he was surprised by what he discovered. There were only a handful of books on the topic, and of those that were available, most were overly complicated and difficult to understand.

It was in that moment that Raphael decided to write Before You Sign That Lease... to be the ultimate resource for business owners interested in leasing commercial space. In this step-by-step guide, you will learn:

  • How to determine your commercial real estate needs
  • How to assemble an alI-star commercial real estate advisory team
  • How to properly analyze available commercial spaces
  • What commercial lease provisions to look out for
  • How to effectively negotiate the best commercial lease terms
  • As well as much more...

Through it all, you'll gain the knowledge and acquire the tools you'll need to secure a physical location for your business as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.

Are you ready to begin your journey of leasing commercial real estate? If so, let's begin.

L ooking to add value to you CRE client offerings? Start here!

As a new CRE Sales Associate I am consuming as much information as I can to help me stand apart in this exciting real estate market. Raphael’s book assisted me in adding to that knowledge by providing a wealth of information on commercial leasing from the lessee’s perspective.

With the information presented in this book I am more equipped to assist my clients in finding a space that will allow them to grow their business without the added stress of being tied to a lease and/or space that doesn’t serve them or their business plan.

The value I can provide to my landlords has also increased as this information will help me place lessees in spaces that will have higher rates of success for fulfilling their lease commitments.

As a former teacher I place a high value on useable information that is presented in an easily digestible format and Raphael succeeds on that front as well. As a reader you want to move onto the next section because you feel you are gaining knowledge you can put into practice right away without being overwhelmed.

TLDR: If you are a business owner leasing space or a CRE professional looking to provide more to your clients start here!

A great tool for business owners!

This book was extremely helpful in navigating a commercial lease for my retail store. He clearly explains the different types of commercial leases, important terms to include and exclude, and negotiating strategies. An easy to listen to and to the point resource. Highly recommended!
