Services

Every service below is delivered primarily for healthcare clients — medical, dental, veterinary, and optometry practices, and group practices.

Site Selection for New Healthcare Practices

Your location decides more about your practice’s future than almost anything else — patient volume, visibility, parking, competing practices nearby, and whether the space can even be legally built out for what you’re planning to do. I work with healthcare startups from our first conversation through move-in.

My Approach

California DRE License

I evaluate target submarkets against patient demographics, competing practices, and visibility.

Site Selection & Touring

I identify and tour space, vetting whether a shell can realistically support your build-out — a dental suite and a med-spa have very different plumbing, electrical, and ventilation needs.

Lease Negotiation & TI Allowances

I negotiate the terms that matter most to a new practice — tenant improvement allowances, free rent periods, and personal guaranty limits.

Free Representation

My services cost you nothing in most lease transactions. Fees are paid by the landlord.

Who this is for

First-time practice owners, associates going out on their own, and healthcare groups entering the San Francisco Bay Area market for the first time — medical, dental, veterinary, and optometry practices, and group practices.

Healthcare Lease Renewal Representation

Lease renewals are a critical inflection point for healthcare practices. While often treated as routine, renewal negotiations can materially impact your long-term occupancy costs, operational flexibility, and practice profitability. I specialize in representing healthcare tenants during lease renewals — medical, dental, veterinary, and optometry practices, and group practices — advising on timing, evaluating market alternatives, and negotiating terms that support long-term growth and uninterrupted patient care.

My Approach

Start Early, Negotiate from Strength

I begin renewal discussions 9–12 months early to increase leverage, expand options, and secure better terms.

Market-Driven Lease Analysis

I review rent, escalations, operating expenses, and renewal terms, benchmarked against current medical office market rates across Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Strategic Rent, Term & Concession Negotiation

I negotiate competitive rent, flexible terms, and meaningful concessions that reduce your long-term costs.

Free Representation

My services cost you nothing in most lease transactions. Fees are paid by the landlord.

Who this is for

Medical, dental, veterinary, and optometry practices, and group practices approaching a lease expiration or renewal deadline and looking to reduce occupancy costs, improve lease terms, or preserve flexibility for future growth.

Relocating or Expanding Without Disrupting Patient Care

A relocation or expansion is one of the highest-risk moments for a healthcare practice — done well, it grows the business; done poorly, it disrupts patient continuity and cash flow for months. I coordinate the real estate side of a relocation or expansion end to end.

My Approach

Needs Assessment & Site Search

I identify space that fits your clinical, operational, financial, and growth requirements.

Lease and Purchase Negotiation & Timing

I negotiate terms and timing — whether leasing or purchasing — including overlap periods so you’re not paying two leases longer than necessary.

Key Terms I Negotiate

Space improvements tailored to your specific requirements – Rent abatement during your initial setup phase – Caps on expenses – Exclusivity rights – Renewal options.

Free Representation

My services cost you nothing in most lease transactions. Fees are paid by the landlord.

Who this is for

Medical, dental, veterinary, and optometry practices, and group practices outgrowing their current space or adding locations.

Own Your Space Instead of Renting It

For established practices, buying the building can make more financial sense than continuing to lease — building equity instead of paying rent, controlling build-out decisions long-term, and removing the risk of a future landlord non-renewal.

My Approach

Property & Tenant Evaluation

I assess a building’s suitability for medical or dental use and evaluate existing tenant lease structures.

Market Positioning

I benchmark the property against healthcare-anchored comparables across Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area.

Deal Support

I advise you through offer, negotiation, and closing.

Who this is for

Healthcare professionals, practice owners, and commercial real estate investors considering healthcare-anchored properties with established tenants, long-term leases, and durable demand.

Healthcare-Anchored Real Estate Investment

Medical, dental, and veterinary tenants are known for long lease terms, high retention, and durable demand — qualities that make healthcare-anchored properties attractive to investors. I bring 15 years of healthcare tenant-side experience to the investment side.
