Commercial real estate · Los Angeles and Orange County
Lease, buy or sell commercial space with someone on your side.
I represent tenants, buyers and owners across every property type, from a first storefront to a warehouse or an investment building.
In most leases and sales the landlord or seller pays the brokerage fee. I confirm who pays, in writing, before we start.

How I work
I know what the other side will accept
I represent owners as well as tenants, so I know where there is room on rent, free rent, build-out money and guaranties before we make an offer.
I check the lease against the deal
Terms agreed in the letter of intent can quietly change in the lease draft. I compare the two line by line and push back before you sign.
I tell you when to wait
Sometimes the right move is to renew, hold off or pass on a space. You will hear that from me before you spend money on it.
