Managing Director
The truth is, you are on a playing field that is tilted against you.
When you sit down at a property negotiation, it’s usually the person on the other side of the table who does this for a living – they have market knowledge, property insights and negotiation expertise. If you aren’t the one negotiating commercial leases or property purchases on a daily basis, then you aren’t the one getting the good deal.
You can’t rely on the landlord or vendor’s agent to look after your interests – you aren’t the one paying them!
You need professional property advisors on your side.
With me acting on your behalf, you get proactive, unbiased, independent property advice, and more importantly… you immediately remove the vendor’s advantage.
I want to see you freed up and focused on running your business, saving time, saving money. And knowing that seasoned expert property advisors are looking after your property needs.
Isn’t it time you tilted the playing field in your favour? Let’s start talking.

Marcus’s detailed and analytical approach to the negotiation ensured we got more favourable terms than we could have negotiated ourselves.
