MAKING SMART REAL ESTATE DECISIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESS If you're considering moving to a new office location, or opening up a new storefront business, negotiating a fair lease will be critical to your success. Join two of the chamber's most knowledgeable commercial real estate professionals, Marc Abrahamson, Haven Equities and Harley Korman, Korman Lederer and Associates for an informative session on making smart real estate choices. The pair will present a general overview of the Northbrook market including market rates for rents on different types of commercial properties and the different county tax structures. They will dissect the terms of a standard lease including CAM charges, build out expenses and tenant/landlord responsibilities, as well as the pros and cons of ownership. The session will also provide tips to make you a savvy and knowledgeable negotiator on the ideal office space.
