Delaware County Commercial Real Estate Agent Helps Businesses Find Affordable Office Space 04/14/2012

/0 Comments/in /by

Delaware County commercial real estate broker Jeff Dowd is leveraging his extensive experience in the business to assist companies with his tenant representation service.

Online PR News – 14-April-2012 – Media, PA – Delaware County, PA commercial real estate agent Jeff Dowd has a proven track record of nearly 12 years in the commercial property business. During that time, he has been consistently among the top commercial broker’s in Delaware, Montgomery, and Chester counties of Pennsylvania. Jeff has handled numerous large transactions with property involving everything from industrial complexes to retail space to restaurants to vacant land. Jeff has handled multi-million dollar transactions for several well-known area entities such as Citizen’s Bank and University of Pennsylvania.

In recent years, one of the areas Jeff has been focused on is helping businesses with office leases coming up and/or those who are looking to relocate to another office building or complex. The reason for this is simple; prices for commercial office space have dropped over the past few years, giving businesses opportunities to save money when they decide they want to relocate.

“The commercial office market is currently overbuilt, meaning there is an abundance of available space, especially in Delaware County,” Dowd says. “And while this is not great news for owners of office buildings, it can be a boon for a company out there that is looking for a new home at a better price.”
Dowd believes he can save companies a lot of money and help them find the ideal location for the type of business they operate.

“In many cases, I’ve been able to help clients save close to 40% over what they are paying on their present leases,” Dowd continues. “For example, businesses that are currently paying something like $20 per square foot can often find something that is comparable and reduce their rate down to around $13 per square foot. For a small one person operation, this may not add up to much, but for larger companies that are leasing a couple thousand square feet or more, the savings can be significant.”

Commercial real estate agent Jeff Dowd helps businesses find affordable office space through his Chester, Montgomery, and Delaware County tenant representation service. Dowd provides several services for the businesses in helping them find a new location, including:

• Becoming their tenant representative
• Giving them a FREE in-depth list of all available properties in the area
• Lending his years of expertise in all aspects of the commercial market to help them find the ideal property at the right price

Dowd says that those who can benefit the most from his services are businesses with a need for more than 2000 square feet and a leasing term that runs at least 2 years.

“For businesses whose leases expire soon or are looking for office space in Delaware, Chester or Montgomery County, my tenant representation service may be just what they need. And the best part is that my commission is paid by the landlord, so interested companies receive my services free of charge.”

With prices for leased office space expected to remain low for the foreseeable future, Dowd’s tenant representation service may be quite helpful to many area businesses.

Delaware County Commercial Real Estate Agent Describes ‘Perfect Storm’ in Present Market 02/13/2013

/0 Comments/in /by

Delaware County PA commercial real estate associate broker Jeff Dowd sees a ‘perfect storm’ brewing in the market, making it an ideal time for businesses to buy into a commercial property.

Online PR News – 13-February-2013 – Media, PA – Delaware County commercial real estate broker Jeff Dowd from Zommick McMahon Commercial Real Estate, Inc. has more than a decade of experience in the industry. During that time, Dowd has worked extensively in every area of the commercial market, including retail space, office buildings, vacant land, and industrial properties. As a top Philadelphia area commercial real estate agent, Dowd has seen just about every kind of market imaginable.

As 2013 gets into full swing, Dowd says he has never seen a better buyer’s market, particularly for professionals and small business people.

“I believe right now is the “perfect storm” of market conditions for business people looking at buying commercial property,” Dowd says. “Right now, we are seeing low prices on properties, high inventories, and record low interest rates. We almost never have all 3 of these working in the buyer’s favor at the same time.”
For a business professional, Dowd believes there may never be a better time to buy a piece of commercial property.

“With these low prices and interest rates, and the wide selection of properties out there, a small business can find the ideal property and potentially save a lot of money on what they are currently paying for rent,” Dowd continues. “In addition, if you can find a property with an existing tenant (or two) to rent out part of the building, they could pay a large portion of your mortgage and put you in an even better financial position.”

“of market conditions for business people looking at buying commercial property”

Dr. Maureen O’Leary, PT, DPT, owner of The Vertigo Centre and one of Dowd’s client’s, recently purchased a 5,800 square foot building in Springfield, PA to move her office. Some very favorable conditions factored into this sound investment, including:

• A competitive sale price
• A 4.8% exceptional interest rate
• An existing tenant renting nearly half the building

“I’m confident that I made a smart business decision when I bought this property,” Dr. O’Leary says. “The rent I’m collecting helps to cover a portion of the mortgage and at the same time I can build equity in the property while paying less than when I leased office space.”

O’Leary acknowledges that she couldn’t have done it without Dowd’s expertise. “Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the commercial real estate market. He guided me through the process, prioritizing and planning each step of the way, until we closed the deal. Most importantly, Jeff was trustworthy and dedicated to my best interest.”

O’Leary also worked with a solid group of experts assembled by Dowd, including a mortgage broker and an attorney. Among Dowd’s network of professionals is Attorney Joseph D’Alonzo at Michael F.X. Gillin & Associates. D’Alonzo often works closely with Dowd’s clients in commercial transactions to achieve the balance between protecting their interests and preserving relationships, making himself available to the clients around the clock.

“It’s important for individuals and small businesses to understand the pitfalls and variables associated with these relationships (being a property owner and leasing a portion of that property to a tenant),” D’Alonzo points out. “In these transactional relationships, you’re more than a landlord, your neighbors and you will be working side by side in a literal sense. So while you want your interests protected, you want the relationship between yourself and your tenant(s) to remain strong, which is achieved by a thorough understanding of the lease and what the expectations are, and projecting where you, as the landlord or even the tenant, want to be when the lease expires or is renewed.”

Dowd encourages small business people and professionals like Dr. O’Leary to take advantage of this market while it’s still here.

“We never know what the market will look like in a year, 6 months, or even 3 months. I would say that if you have been thinking about making the jump from a renter to an owner, give me a call and we can sit down and discuss your options. I know it’s an often over-used cliché, but there truly may never be a better time than the present to buy into your ideal commercial real estate property.”

Top Delaware County Commercial Agent Specializes in Creating Value for Landowners 02/05/2014

/0 Comments/in /by

Jeffrey Dowd, associate broker for Zommick McMahon Inc., is not only a top area commercial real estate agent. He is also a specialist at helping landowners increase the value of their properties by locating an ideal tenant.

Online PR News – 05-February-2014 – Media, PA – Delaware County commercial real estate associate broker Jeff Dowd of Zommick McMahon Inc. is one of the top commercial agents in the region. With over a decade of experience, Dowd has worked in every area of the commercial real estate market, working tirelessly to match sellers with their ideal buyer. Another area Dowd specializes in is helping landowners increase the value of their property by finding the ideal tenant.

“One of the things a good commercial real estate broker does is help landowners find the perfect tenant to add value to their property,” Dowd says. “And that is exactly what we do here at Zommick McMahon. We are the liaison between the property owner and the tenant.”

Landowners are often unaware of the potential that their property may have. Some own vacant lots, while others have buildings that are no longer viable in their present location, such as an old gas station or drive-in movie theatre. Dowd can often find a new tenant for these types of properties, especially those in busier locations.

“Traffic light corners are the most valuable space, because the corner brings access from two different roads” Dowd continues. “A prospective tenant, particularly in the retail sector, will also want to study the traffic volume to find out if the property is likely to garner the level of exposure they are looking for.”

The quality of the tenant is another factor in building value for the landowner. The property is usually more valuable when occupied by a national chain, particularly one with AAA credit.

“What we are looking for is a well-established entity with top-notch credit that will come in with a triple net ground lease,” Dowd continues. “This means the tenant will not only pay the rent, property taxes, and maintenance, but will also pay the cost of the reconstruction needed to tailor the property to their needs.”

Over the years, Dowd has located tenants that have increased the net worth of several property owners in the area. A couple examples include:

• 2 investors paid $250,000 for a property with a “mom and pop” tenant. After this tenant vacated the property, Dowd brought in a well-known bank to occupy the space. The property is now valued at $1.5 million.

• Another property owner had 2 vacant office buildings in Media, PA. The owners paid $1.1 million for this property. Dowd found a health care company to come in and build a new medical facility inside the buildings. The owner refinanced the property after the leases were signed, and the bank valued the property at $4.8 million.

With the right piece of property and the ideal tenant, Dowd can help a landowner receive higher rents for their investments and increase their overall net worth.
