DAN NAHABEDIAN - TENANT IMPROVEMENT COSTS - FRIDAY OCTOBER 7TH 2011

 

Daniel A. Nahabedian

 Project Manager

 Suffol-Roel

Dan will be discussing what the costs, timelines, difficulties and other issues faced when looking to complete tenant improvements.  Often as brokers we have times when a client needs to understand tenant improvement costs. Typically we see this in the following situations: 

• Landlords offer a $/SF TI budget, what does that get you?
• How much is it going to cost to add more SF of office to a warehouse?
• How much should I expect to spend on improving this office space when a new tenant comes in?
• My Client is looking at a BTS building what are the typical costs?
• Our offices are run down, how much to improve them?
• We are negotiating Lease extentions and the Tenant wants Improvements, what can we expect to pay? 

There are numerous other examples, but you get the Idea.  Dan is going to discuss the issues, costs etc. associated with TIs and work to give you some rule of thumb ideas on basic costs to assist you in understanding the scope of a project before investing too much time or energy into a deal that won't pencil out.  I encourage you to join us for this informative meeting on Friday October 7th 2011 at 7:30 am.

FRITZ POLLARD REAL ESTATE COACHING - FRIDAY AUGUST 5TH

Fritz Pollard graduated from Long Beach State in 1987 with a degree in Real Estate Finance.  After obtaining his Brokers License Fritz went into residential real estate sales for a small local firm by the name of DeBenedictis Realty.  Six months later he followed his sales manager to a new and growing company by the name of First Team Real Estate.  Fritz sold for 12 years before taking an office manager position with the company. 

Fritz became the assistant office manager for the Seal Beach Branch of First Team in 1999, and by the end of the year was running a struggling First Team Office in Fullerton.  Through recruiting, coaching and training the Fullerton office went from losing $250,000 per year to breaking even at the end of 2001. 

In 2002 Fritz rejoined the Seal Beach office as a co-manager, helped grow the branch to 138 agents, and in 2003 received company awards for top listing, volume, and units sold for the entire company, at the time out of 24 offices.  The keys to success….massive recruiting of top agents, coaching agents to the next level, and aggressive training daily within the branch.

Fritz was on the move again in 2004 joining the #1 Real Estate Coaching and Training Company, The Mike Ferry Organization.  Fritz immediately started working with agents, brokers and owners within the United States and Canada, even coaching agents in Australia and Dubai.  Fritz currently works with some of the largest producing agents in North America, the top agent selling over 300 units and earning $3,000,000 in income annually.  To date, Fritz has conducted over 14,000 coaching calls. 

On August 5^th Fritz will present a talk that will be “Business Changing”…coaching strategies that can be used immediately to improve your business and life.  After looking at what is getting in your way and keeping you from getting to the next level, Fritz will do a live coaching session!  You will set a personal goal, and leave the meeting with tools to win at whatever goal you set.  Bring a friend, get ready to learn, and see you on Friday, August 5^th.
