Actionable Site Valuations and Opinions of Value
Never again leave money on the table
in your lease negotiations.
There are three important ways SiteLink can improve your Lease Wins
and reduce your occupancy costs using our Actionable Site
Valuations:
1.
Benchmarking Site-Specific Values for Lease Renewals and Lease
Re-Negotiations,
2.
Determining which sites warrant immediate re-negotiation, regardless
of expiration date, and,
3.
Benchmarking for new Market Expansion Sites
We can reduce your occupancy cost 20% and more.
Winning lease negotiations require the support of actionable market
research at the suite level. SiteLink’s depth of resources can
provide this information for one, a hundred, or a thousand sites.
Information provided for specific and competing sites nourishes a
healthy negotiating environment and confident decision making.
However, tenants often enter Lease Renewal Phase negotiations
without adequate site specific market information. This puts
the tenant at a distinct disadvantage. Without this critical data, the
tenants will often acquiesce and accept a new rental rate with no or
a low rate increase (0%-3%) to favor expediency. The tenant is
leaving money on the table every time. Typical brokerage firms
acting as outsourced service providers offer up market data which is
all too often too generalized and quite often useless to support a
strong negotiating position.

SiteLink’s Actionable Site Valuations are designed to help tenants
aggressively reduce real estate portfolio occupancy costs.
These Site Valuations enhance the tenant’s negotiating
effectiveness and make outsourced brokers, if any, more accountable.
Stop Rent Creep.
Not enough attention is paid to the opportunity to reduce rents
portfolio-wide during the Lease Renewal Phase of each lease
lifecycle; particularly given that economic conditions are ripe to
capitalize on vacancies, availability, and staunch positioning.
Without these practices firmly set in place; the company is exposed
to the steady, yet unnecessary, rise of real estate portfolio
occupancy costs – a condition and phenomena we call Intrinsic Rent
Inflation, or more colloquially, “Rent Creep”.
In addition to the insufficiency of quality, useful data; Users are
also frequently being subjected to occupancy costs derived from
Landlord costs long since recouped or earlier inflated rent numbers
stemming from tiered rate structures detached from market forces.
During the User’s initial market expansion, Landlords had certain
costs associated with the original lease transaction such as broker
fees, legal fees, and construction and tenant finish costs.
These landlord expenses had, at the time, put upward pressure on the
original negotiated rent as the Landlords attempted to amortize
these costs and recoup them over the life of the lease, or sooner.
Frequently too, the initial rent was programmed to include periodic
increases without regard to future market rates. Without
challenge, rent imposed to service these initial sunk costs, or to
satisfy the initial rent increase requirements, remain to be
included in the subsequent rent basis during the LRP negotiations,
even though the costs were fully amortized and recouped by the
landlord sometime before and no longer supported by current market
forces. During the Lease Renewal Phase, these sunk (and now
recouped) costs should not impact the transaction now being
negotiated. Unchallenged, rent perpetually moves upward.
SiteLink stops this damaging cycle.
SiteLink’s Actionable Site Valuations
satisfy the United States Postal Service’s Stringent Requirements for
Post Office Lease Renewals.
All of SiteLink’s services, and particularly the Actionable Site
Valuations Reports reverse the upward spiral of intrinsic rent
inflation, “rent creep”, and instead, significantly reduce
occupancy costs.
Typical real estate brokerage firms as outsourced service providers
do little to remedy the situation of perpetual rent creep. The
typical brokerage model does not accommodate a cheap and rapid
exchange of site-specific market data in any market; and in fact,
the typical brokerage model is fashioned to foster expediency, not
effectiveness, often to the detriment of the client company.
Brokers’ incentives guide them toward wanting “this renewal off my
desk” no matter what it costs the end user. The typical broker
compensation package provides no incentive to reduce costs; but
instead, to close the transaction as fast as possible with the least
amount of effort.
Companies with medium and large real estate portfolios can
significantly reduce their occupancy costs with aggressive
negotiating strategies implemented during the Lease Renewal Phase
(LRP) of the real estate cycle, with the support and foundation of
effective, suite-level, market research.
