This is a webcast of the live New York session.Why you should attend
Leases can be a primary business asset and also contain landmines of liability. Known as the building blocks of value for all real estate, if leases are written poorly or administered without expertise, they can be the downfall of an otherwise sound real estate investment. This course is not to be missed for anyone who represents users or occupiers of space, or owners as investors in real estate. There’s no disputing the importance of intimately knowing the lease as a multidimensional financial tool, hell or high-water financial instrument, and contract of limitations and regulations. This program will help you to feel truly competent to negotiate these two hundred-plus pages of sophisticated instruments, along with the hidden costs, risk shifting and common law demising. Your company and clients look to you to know the market and local traps, to help them make a “market and fair” deal, and to avoid the unusual or unfair risks. Your client is depending on you to preserve the investment in difficult “risky” times. This program will teach you “what’s hot and what’s not” to help you stay on the “cutting edge” of the current market negotiations. With the market currently improving, and leases becoming more clever and intensive, learning how to stay a step ahead of the commercial leasing market and to fine tune your skills, techniques and strategies is a wise investment of your time.
