At the dollar store, everything's a dollar - that's price transparency. What isn't price transparency? Try buying a car. What looks like a deal may not be after reading the fine print. Leasing an office, warehouse or retail space is can be even worse with the fine print taking the form of a 30 page lease. That's why you need professional tenant representation to save time, money and aggravation.

So the economy was riding high, businesses were thriving and the commercial real estate market was seeing all-time high rental rates and historically low vacancies. Then a virus hits and everything is in chaos. On March 18, the CEO of Cheesecake Factory sent a letter to all of his landlords saying they won’t be paying their rent on April 1.
