Our Process
For the T. Dallas Smith & Company team, securing the best space for our clients is more than closing a deal.
We advise our clients every step of the way from the initial meeting to post-closing evaluation and beyond. Our six-phase approach has not only helped our clients procure the right properties, it has enabled us to build relationships that continue long after the final lease has been signed.
PHASE ONE
INITIAL MEETING
We meet with you to understand your current business operations, growth projections and objectives including desired features, locations, time sensitivities and costs.
PHASE TWO
DISCOVERY
Based on the initial meeting, we create a market survey that matches your needs and partner with you to narrow the search down to the top locations.
PHASE THREE
MARKET TOUR
We personally escort you through the top locations ending the tour with a debrief of the pros and cons of each property.
PHASE FOUR
SUBMIT PROPOSAL
We create and submit requests for proposals (RFPs) to the landlords of the top locations. Then, we create and review with you the deal terms summary comparing the space options, culminating with a comprehensive Letter of Intent (LOI) for the top option.
PHASE FIVE
LEASE & NEGOTIATION EXECUTION
We confirm the business terms align with the executed LOI. Then, we coordinate any needed meetings with legal counsel for both parties and secure signatures on final lease.
PHASE SIX
FOLLOW UP
Even after the final agreement is executed and you have moved into your new space, we follow up with you to make sure you are satisfied and remain available to you for any future needs or requirements.
