A recent article in the Atlanta Business Chronicle titled, “Office market will yield good deals next year” said, “Small and midsized businesses that can flourish in the face of financial market meltdown and sluggish economic conditions should be in position to get deals when they look to lease Atlanta-area office, industrial or retail space in the coming year.”

The article went on to offer “tips on how businesses in the commercial real estate industry can come out ahead.

• If your business needs office, industrial or retail space this year, chances are great that you’ll get a better deal than you would 12 to 24 months ago.
• While it may be a tenant’s/user’s market for space over the coming year, don’t make a move entirely for economic reasons. Make sure any new location you are considering is truly a good fit for your business, not just your checkbook.
• Work with a real estate professional specializing in tenant representation to effectively find office sublease space opportunities.”
