The Chief Financial Officer of Econ One Research contacted my office as she had heard we were offering a free, no strings attached, lease analysis.  She stated she had a long term broker relationship but was casually interested in what recommendations we might have on her lease…with over 82 recommendations, I did not disappoint her!

As an initial test, I was tasked with the assignment of assisting with Econ One’s 5,000 square foot Washington, DC lease.  They had outgrown the space and wanted to relocate altogether.  I was on a plane the next day, all pro bono and at no cost to Econ One, engaged a local real estate firm whom I felt competent, and quickly found and negotiated an outstanding lease transaction for them.  

My work must have made a favorable impression, as I was then tasked to find an alternative 14,000 square foot office space for them in Los Angeles…which I subsequently did…all at above market concessions and at below market rates!
