When I Visit Las Vegas Executive Suite centers they seem to all have some sort of “gimick” to attract attention and get me in the door. Which questions should I ask or what do I need to know so that I am receiving the best deal for my business?
Because of the way the market is right now, all executive suite centers are offering great deals and incentives to get you to sign a lease. Actually, this is the perfect time to take advantage and get the best deal you can. First make a list of what you can and cannot live without for your business and then just start your search. Take good notes and sometimes if an office “just feels right” it usually is and you will have made a good choice.
If something sounds “too good to be true” it usually is and there might be a lot of hidden costs. Don’t feel pressured and don’t look at too many executive suite centers — narrow it down to between 3 and 5 choices. If you look at 10 or 12 offices you will get overwhelmed and you will pick the last one just to make a choice because you are either exhausted, desperate or both and you will not be very happy with yourself. If you are not sure, just make a quick phone call to a center that you like and say something like “I really like your executive suites, but so and so is offering this, can you match it?” If they can and you really do like that location, then take the office deal. Don’t keep negotiating back and forth like a used car salesman. Most executive suite managers will give you their “bottom line” if you ask for it and if you keep pestering them and asking them to “drop the price a little more” or something bold like “if you give me free whatever, I will sign right now! you will aggravate the leasing manager and start off with a strained relationship which is not good for either party. Mutual respect is key in any negotiations.
