Know what your tenant’s lease is worth before you price it

We publish tenant-by-tenant research on cap rates and rents for the brands that occupy Southeast corners, and we use the same evidence when we price and sell a property. Read the report for your tenant first; the conversation is better when you have.

For owners and buyers of single-tenant retail: ground leases, build-to-suits and vacant restaurant buildings.

How we work

What we do differently, and why it matters to you

Research by tenant, not by category

A Chick-fil-A ground lease and a vacant second-generation restaurant are different assets. Each report covers one brand or one situation, with its observation period stated.

Pricing you can defend

An asking price that comes from comparable evidence survives a buyer’s underwriting and an appraisal. One that does not costs you time on the market.

The whole decision, not only the sale

Sell now, extend the lease first, or exchange into something else. We model the alternatives, including the 1031 exchange, before recommending one.

What you get

Owners

  • Where your tenant’s cap rates and rents sit today, and which way they have moved.
  • Whether the remaining lease term helps or hurts your price.
  • A marketing plan aimed at the buyers active in that tenant.

Buyers and exchange investors

  • Offerings matched to stated criteria.
  • The constraints and the missing diligence spelled out.
  • Evidence to test the asking price against.

What clients say

“Everything went smoothly from the information gathering stage to the final moments signing the closing documents.”

Jonathan and his team were extremely helpful and great to work with during this process. We’ve had commercial real estate deals before, but they were typical buy/sell arrangements. With this one being the first ever sale & leaseback, it was comforting working with a group that has done several of them before and showed tremendous experience in dealing with these types of transactions.

Everything went smoothly from the information gathering stage to the final moments signing the closing documents. Finding the right buyer was challenging but our patience paid off in the end! I would highly recommend the Finem Group to anyone looking to sell, buy or lease commercial property!

Working with us

How an engagement starts

  1. A conversation. We ask about your goals and collect what we need to know about the property or the requirement.
  2. A proposal. For an owner, a broker’s price opinion and a plan. For a search, our process and the assignments it has worked on before.
  3. A decision. We decide together whether we are the right team. Sometimes we are not, and we will say so.
