Not knowing how to read a lease is costing you.


In commercial real estate, few people are taught how to understand every part of a lease —including the basic construction, the intersection of business points and legal language, and why certain language was included. The failure to understand even one provision can lead to unexpected costs, wasted time, or even the loss of valuable and irreplaceable real estate, including:

  • Wasted Time: Not knowing how to read a lease effectively can cost you time and effort looking for answers in the wrong section of leases
  • Costly Errors: It takes just one mistake to diminish the value of a real estate lease. At today’s cap rates, a small mistake could result in millions of dollars of lost value.
  • Missing Key Data: When you don’t know exactly what to look for, it’s easy to miss key data or language, creating unnecessary headaches.
  • Bottleneck to efficiency: The challenges that come with reading leases compound over time and create bottlenecks that reduce the number of successful leases completed each year.
  • Lack of Clarity: Without clarity, making timely decisions becomes next to impossible.
