The workshop is a two hour deep dive into the major aspects of commercial real estate that buyers, sellers and real estate agents need to know.

The workshop was created by commercial broker Robert Hand, who explains:

"As a 20 year veteran in the commercial real estate industry and completing hundreds of transactions, I felt there was a real need for someone to teach others what they really need to know about commercial real estate, because it is so different from anything else. You not only need to know about demographic trends, zoning issues and construction, but, to be successful, you also need to know about pricing which does require a little math and you need a ton of negotiation skills. Nobody teaches this stuff. Until now.

My knowledge comes from working with the largest commercial real estate companies in the state, including Latter and Blum (now Compass), and also RE/MAX, but nobody there taught anyone about the skills or knowledge required to complete enough transactions so you could make a living. So I created a course which does just that. The Louisiana Real Estate Commission approved it for continuing education hours, and recently I taught the course to a sold-out audience of real estate agents, representing all the major companies, including Compass, Reve, Snap Realty, EXP Realty, HomeSmart and Berkshire Hathaway."

The workshop explains the major issues involved in commercial real estate, including:

  • How to stay out of trouble in contracts
  • Knowing your zoning requirements
  • How to price office, retail and warehouse properties using financial statements
  • How to use consumer spending patterns to pick the perfect retail location
  • How to negotiate using active listening to get what you want
  • Gross, Modified and NNN leases
  • Who pays tenant improvements
  • Common Area Maintenance
  • How to use Cap Rates to accurately value property
