In "1158: The Underdog’s Guide to Commercial Real Estate with Scot Ginsburg," Robert Plank and guest Scot Ginsburg dive into the often-overlooked tactics that can give tenants an edge in commercial real estate.

Ginsburg reveals that tenant representation is crucial for securing favorable leases, but most tenants miss out because they don’t ask for it.

With over 25 years in the field, he breaks down why regular reviews of real estate needs—well before the lease expires—can save companies big bucks.

And don’t be afraid to ask for changes; you'd be surprised what landlords might agree to.

His firm? It’s a one-stop shop for tenants, handling everything from lease negotiation to restructuring for financial relief.

Key Takeaways:

• 📊 Tenant representation is often overlooked: Tenants without proper representation risk unfavorable terms, missing out on better lease deals.

• 💡 Regular real estate reviews pay off: Annual assessments can reveal cost-saving opportunities; waiting until the lease expires is risky.

• 🔍 Watch out for hidden fees: Tenants frequently overlook operating costs snuck into lease agreements—scrutinizing terms is crucial.

• 🤝 Don’t be shy; ask for what you need: From early termination to rent reductions, negotiating can lead to unexpected financial wins.
