Before You Call

What Happens When You Call

Practices hesitate because they do not know what a call commits them to. Here is the whole sequence, including the part where you decide.

$0 to your practice. The landlord pays our fee.

1

A twenty-minute conversation

Where the practice is, when the lease ends, what the landlord has said so far, and what you would change if you could. We ask more than we talk. Nothing you tell us reaches your landlord.

2

We read the lease

Send the lease, the renewal letter or the proposal. Within 72 hours we come back with what stands out: the rate against the market, the clauses worth a closer look, and whether there is anything to do right now or whether the right move is to wait.

3

You decide

Sometimes the answer is that your deal is fine and we tell you so. If there is work to do, we tell you what we would do and what it would be worth. There is no agreement and no fee for any of this.

4

If you go forward

A short written agreement names us as your broker, which is what lets the landlord's leasing fee be paid to us rather than kept by their broker. We walk through every line of it with you. Then the six-step process starts, and you keep one point of contact through signing, build-out and every renewal after.

What This Costs Your Practice

Free To Your Practice. The Landlord Pays Our Fee.

1On most listed buildings the landlord pays a leasing fee.

It is in the listing agreement before you walk in.

2Alone, the landlord's broker keeps all of it.

You do not save it. Their broker keeps it.

3With us, our share comes out of that fee.

For most practices, $0 and no invoice from us.

Same fee, two ways to split it. One of them puts a negotiator in your corner. The other does not.

A few situations differ, such as owner-direct, physician-owned and sublease space. We confirm the fee in writing on every building before you tour it. Brokerage fees are negotiable and not set by law.

Common Questions

What practices ask before they call

Will my landlord find out I called you?

No. Nothing moves until you say so. Many practices have us read a proposal and decide to handle the conversation themselves, and the landlord never knows we were involved.

Do I have to move to get a better deal?

No. Most of our renewal clients stay exactly where they are. The alternative we build is what makes the landlord's number move; actually taking it is your choice.

What does this cost my practice?

For most practices, nothing out of pocket. On most listed buildings the landlord pays a leasing fee and our share comes out of it. A few situations differ, such as owner-direct and sublease space, and we confirm the arrangement in writing before you tour anything. Brokerage fees are negotiable and not set by law.

How early is too early?

It is almost never too early. Eighteen months before expiration is ideal, twelve is good, six is workable. Even at ninety days there are usually terms still worth fixing, so call anyway.

What if my practice is outside Texas?

We represent practices in any city and any state. Our own brokers are on the ground in Texas, Georgia, the Carolinas and Indiana; elsewhere we bring in the best local healthcare broker and stay your single point of contact from the first call through the signed lease.
