Quick commercial real estate tip:

Residential properties are usually valued based on comparable sales.

Commercial properties are valued based on income they can produce.

Many business owners think they’ll save money by negotiating directly with a landlord instead of working with a broker.

In commercial real estate, that approach often costs more.

Leases involve far more than just rent — things like escalation clauses, operating expenses, and renewal options can have a huge financial impact.
