The decision before the deal
Why work with Greg on a retail property?
A retail location needs to work for the business and its customers. Visibility alone does not settle the decision: access, parking, neighboring uses, delivery condition and the cost of opening all belong in the analysis.
Greg connects those operational questions with the real estate terms. For owners and investors, the discussion also considers tenant fit, lease structure, future capital needs and the property’s positioning.

What should you know before the next move?
Start with the decision, then work through the property and transaction details.
Can Greg represent both retail tenants and property owners?
Yes. Retail tenant and landlord representation are separate services, with the client’s role and objectives defined for each assignment.
How do you compare retail locations?
Compare the customer base, access, visibility, parking, neighboring uses, delivery condition and total occupancy cost. The strongest location depends on how the business attracts and serves its customers.
What makes restaurant real estate different?
Restaurant spaces may require specialized ventilation, grease management, utilities, loading and layout. Existing improvements should be evaluated with the appropriate design and technical professionals before committing to the space.
Can Greg help me buy a property for my business?
Yes. An owner-user search compares the operating fit of the property with purchase costs, repair or improvement needs, financing considerations and the business’s longer-term plans.
What should a retail investor review beyond rent?
Review lease terms, tenant exposure, expense responsibilities, rollover, property condition and likely capital needs. Evaluate the income stream alongside the property’s ability to serve future users.
How do I begin a retail assignment?
Share the business or property type, location priorities, size requirements, budget and timing. For an existing property, include available lease and operating information so the conversation can focus on the decision.
