My head is full of great ideas; I don't push, I serve. I help client solve real estate problems. Experience teaches a lot, and in my experience focusing on the solution without understanding the problem well first really limited the options which could be the best solution. For example, I helped a client reduce costs, reduce the size of their space substantially, negotiated a new long term lease without them having to leave a building the love. The didn't have to move, change their address - but we changed some thinking. The office differently than in pre-pandemic times.
If you have a problem to solve with a lease, with costs, and figuring out the future, we can help.
