Master Commercial Leases – Part 1 | Understanding Commercial Leasing for Real Estate Agents
Commercial leasing can be a profitable yet complex part of real estate—and it’s very different from residential leasing. In Part 1 of Master Commercial Leases, we break down everything agents need to know before diving into the world of retail, office, and warehouse leases.
In this session, you’ll learn:
• The key differences between residential and commercial leases
• How to calculate and negotiate gross, net, and triple net (NNN) lease structures
• Typical lease terms, escalation clauses, and tenant improvements
• Where to find commercial listings and how to analyze rent per square foot
• How commissions are structured and how to protect your compensation
• Why creating strong tenant packages and letters of intent can win deals
This is the first part of our in-depth commercial leasing series. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll dive into negotiation psychology, maintenance and repairs, subletting, and more advanced leasing strategies.
