Commercial leases are written to protect landlords.
This masterclass shows you how serious tenants protect themselves.
In this session, you’ll discover:
The 5 most expensive mistakes brick‑and‑mortar owners make when signing or renewing a lease
Where the real money hides in a lease (it’s not just the rent number) and how to spot bad terms fast
How to negotiate build‑out money and incentives so you don’t leave tens of thousands on the table
The clauses that quietly drain your cash flow over years, and how to push back before you sign
What to ask for if you’re opening, relocating, or expanding so you keep flexibility and control
You’ll walk away with a plain‑English checklist you can use with any landlord or broker before you commit.

I’m a commercial real estate broker who represents tenants only.
In the last 3 years, I’ve reviewed over 100 commercial leases for brick‑and‑mortar businesses, which means I see the same costly patterns and missed opportunities over and over.
Owners locked into spaces that no longer fit their business
Franchisees overpaying by five figures on “standard” lease terms
Tenants miss out on build‑out dollars, free rent, and other incentives they didn’t know they could ask for
I created this masterclass so you don’t have to learn those lessons the hard way.
My goal is simple: give you the clarity and tools to walk into your next lease conversation informed, confident, and hard to take advantage of.
