SERVICES
Advice from someone who has sat on the owner’s side of the table.
Kas represents investors, owner-users, landlords and tenants in office, retail, flex/showroom, industrial and mixed-use deals across Greater Cleveland and its western suburbs. Whichever side you are on, she brings what she learned buying, renovating and leasing buildings of her own.
Who Kas works with
OWNERS & LANDLORDS
Leasing and sales
Pricing, marketing and tenant placement for your space, and disposition when it is time to sell.
- Rent and value opinions grounded in what it costs to run a building
- Marketing, tours and tenant screening
- Lease negotiation that protects long-term value
TENANTS
Site selection and lease negotiation
Finding the right space and getting the terms, build-out and flexibility your business needs.
- A short list of spaces that fit your use and budget
- Realistic build-out costs before you sign
- Negotiation on rent, improvement allowances and term
INVESTORS
Acquisitions and investment sales
Sourcing, underwriting and selling investment property, including value-add buildings where vacancy or deferred maintenance leaves room to grow.
- Deal screening with an owner’s eye for renovation cost and lease-up
- On- and off-market opportunities
- 1031 replacement property searches
OWNER-USERS
Buying the building you operate in
For businesses ready to stop paying rent and own their space, with an eye on what the building is worth beyond their own use.
- Buildings that fit today with room to grow
- Income potential from space you do not need
- Renovation and build-out reality checks
1031 EXCHANGE BUYERS
Find the right replacement property before the clock runs out.
A 1031 exchange rewards speed and punishes guesswork. Once you sell, you have 45 days to identify replacement property and 180 days to close. Kas has worked through exchanges from the owner’s side, so she knows how tight those windows feel and how to build a short list that holds up.
- Start the search before your sale closes
- Screen candidates for price, income and renovation risk
- Identify backups so one failed deal does not sink the exchange
- Coordinate with your qualified intermediary, lender and attorney
Kas does not provide tax or legal advice. Talk with your CPA, attorney and qualified intermediary about your exchange.
45 days
to identify replacement property after your sale closes
180 days
to close on the replacement property
VALUE-ADD & REPOSITIONING
What could your building lease for after a renovation?
Vacant or tired buildings often hide real upside. Kas looks at your property the way an owner would: which improvements raise rent, which ones only raise cost, and which tenants the finished building can attract. You get a clear picture of the building’s value today and after repositioning, so you can decide whether to renovate, lease as-is or sell.
