  Cresa

  May 2018 - now

  Senior vice president

  I represent companies headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, helping them find space to run their business more efficiently (Office, R&D, Manufacturing & Warehouse). Companies hire me to; (1) lower their occupancy costs, (2) find and negotiate great space, (3) renew existing leases to ensure landlords profit is minimized, (4) reduce rent prior to lease expirations via lease restructuring, (5) right-size space to create efficiencies.During my 25-year tenure in the commercial real estate industry, I have represented some of the largest corporations in the country as well as some of the most exciting Bay Area startups.ABOUT CRESA:Cresa is the worlds largest tenant-only commercial real estate firm with over 50 offices in North America and 200 locations in 40 countries globally. Our mission is to provide customized commercial real estate solutions exclusively for corporate users by offering fully integrated services that align their real estate needs with their business plans, delivering maximum cost savings and exceeding expectations. No compromises, no hidden agendas and absolutely no CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (which no other real estate firm delivers), we put our insights, expertise and experience to work for tenants - AND ONLY TENANTS. Why would you work with a company who routinely represents both Landlords and Tenants (i.e. everyone else)? Can you really be sure your interests are protected when your landlord's broker is sitting one cubicle over from your representative? Show less
