Douglas Commercial facilitated a commercial lease for a transportation company’s new office location. They found 5–8 property options, provided negotiation services, and handled the entire payment process.

Douglas Commercial finalized a 10-year, $2,000,000 commercial lease within four months. Advocating for the client alone, they negotiated a favorable contract below the landlord’s initial rate. A direct and persuasive sales approach secured the partnership.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the president of a transportation company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Douglas Commercial?

I hired Douglas Commercial because I needed a commercial real estate broker.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Douglas Commercial showed me 5-8 properties to view and consider for our company’s new office building. They represented me as the tenant. We worked together to secure a business lease for a building for my company's commercial use.

After I selected a property, they provided additional services to negotiate the terms below the landlord’s asking price that was favorable to us as a tenant. They ultimately finalized a $2,000,000, 10-year lease contract for our business.

What is the team composition?

I worked directly with the principal, Scott (Commercial Real Estate Broker, Douglas Commercial).

How much have you invested with them?

The landlords handled the payment and fees; I wasn't involved in the investment process.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together about seven years ago in 2012. The project timeline lasted four months to finalize the lease.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Douglas Commercial walked me through the entire process of securing a commercial lease on a building for my business. They represented me exclusively, rather than the buyer or landlord as well. The principal of the company was personally involved in our work. They’re the only commercial realtor I've worked with before.
