Every commercial deal is different. Here's where I can help most.

Do you help with commercial real estate?
Yes. I help business owners and investors with commercial property across the East Valley, and I bring in specialists when a deal calls for it.
Should I buy or lease space for my business?
Buying can build equity and lock in costs, while leasing keeps cash free and offers flexibility. Talk with your accountant and lender about which makes sense for you.
How do I know if my business is allowed in a building?
Check the zoning with the city's planning department. Some uses need a special permit. I'll help you verify before you sign.
What are CAM charges?
Common Area Maintenance charges are a tenant's share of costs for shared areas like parking lots, landscaping and lighting. Review them closely in any lease.
Can I get a regular mortgage for commercial property?
Commercial property usually uses commercial loans, which have different terms. SBA loans may be an option for owner-users. Talk with a commercial lender.
