We Have Great Retailer Relationships
The PREP team has completed over 1,400 retail lease transactions. To complete this many transactions you have to have great relationships with the corporate real estate managers; the brokers that represent national, regional, and franchise retailers; and the cities that approve these uses. When you hire a PREP broker(s) to represent your property you are benefitting from the tremendous effort our team members have put into fostering these relationships so that we can get your property in front of the right tenants expeditiously and get your vacancy filled.
Extensive Marketing
As a firm, we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each year on marketing. Our brokers are our sales team and they are backed by an outstanding in-house marketing team that focuses on achieving our client’s real estate goals thru multiple print and online marketing channels including:
- Custom designed leasing brochures that tell a story as to why a tenant should lease at your property.
- Segmented email marketing to our extensive proprietary database to insure that tenants and brokers are aware of your property and the available spaces.
- Depending upon the property, posting the listing on online platforms such as Crexi, CoStar, Loopnet, CommercialEdge, TheBrokerList, Retail Brokers Network, Brevitas, Digsy, MLS, Quantum Listing, BizBuySell, and BizBen.
Canvassing
Our brokers actively canvas the marketplace to ensure that they are identifying and connecting with retailers that might be interested in leasing a space at your property. Canvassing activities include “door to door”, networking events, phone calls and using technology including social media, instant messaging, and online research tools to generate interest and leads.
Custom Signage and Banners
We believe in customized signs and banners that clearly state what we are representing, the broker(s) representing the property, and how to get in touch. Many of our brokers like to put their cell phone numbers on our signs. We also utilize custom storefront window signs that display the size of the available space, amenities if applicable and the broker contact info. Bottom line–our goal is to make it easy for potential tenants to reach the PREP broker that represents your property.
