Pre-Occupancy Services

Before selecting any property as a potential candidate, DJ Bean and his team perform a Criteria Review. The first phase in the Tenant Representation Process™, the Criteria Review usually takes 1-2 weeks and helps define what you need and want in your new space. We ask questions about location, budget, square footage, use of space, potential for growth, time frame for the new lease and for the old lease, as well as ownership options. They ensure you get what you're looking for and within budget. They'll even visit your current location to better understand your workflow needs.

During this phase, our specific services include:

• Review of your space-planning analysis
• Review of your economic evaluations and engineering requirements
• Refinement of your new site goals and criteria

With your Real Estate Needs Evaluation in hand, DJ's team can now begin the search for your perfect business location. This phase generally takes up to 30 days.
