<p style="line-height: normal; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px;">In this session you will leave with a clear understanding of how much negotiating power you have to get the best deal. You will be provided a list of what background information you will need, creative leasing terms, alternative negotiating techniques and an action plan to negotiate the best terms with the landlord/owner. The actionable information you will take from this session includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Specific terms and options to discuss/present to a landlord when you find a location</li>
<li>Handouts with all the information/terms  you will need to negotiate with a landlord</li>
<li>Worksheet on leasing vs. purchasing where you can plug in your own numbers to see which is a better deal for you</li>
<li>Pricing and Location considerations and what is important to to you and your budget</li>
<li>A free comparable market analysis in a location such as Rockville, Germantown or Silver Spring for retail, office or industrial properties</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are in the process of renegotiating your lease with your current landlord, find out what the landlord wants to hear which will land you that lower rate.  In addition you will be introduced to a number of resources to assist you in your move to your new location. Plus as an added incentive to attend any individual who attends will also receive a free comparable market analysis of property in a location you are interested finding more about.  <a style="color: #da5e2a; text-decoration: none;" href="http://creative-leasing-terms-2010-03-30.eventbrite.com/">REGISTER NOW</a></p>

All you need to know to get a better Deal</h2>
<p style="line-height: normal; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px;">Leasing terms can sometimes seem strict, expensive, and non-negotiable. However, leasing terms can be more flexible than some may know.</p>
<p style="line-height: normal; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px;">In this session you will leave with a clear understanding of how much negotiating power you have to get the best deal. You will be provided a list of what background information you will need, creative leasing terms, alternative negotiating techniques and an action plan to negotiate the best terms with the landlord/owner. The actionable information you will take from this session includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Specific terms and options to discuss/present to a landlord when you find a location</li>
<li>Handouts with all the information/terms  you will need to negotiate with a landlord</li>
<li>Worksheet on leasing vs. purchasing where you can plug in your own numbers to see which is a better deal for you</li>
<li>Pricing and Location considerations and what is important to to you and your budget</li>
<li>A free comparable market analysis in a location such as Rockville, Germantown or Silver Spring for retail, office or industrial properties</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are in the process of renegotiating your lease with your current landlord, find out what the landlord wants to hear which will land you that lower rate.</p>
<p>In addition you will be introduced to a number of resources to assist you in your move to your new location. Plus as an added incentive to attend any individual who attends will also receive a free comparable market analysis of property in a location you are interested finding more about.</p>
