Monique R. Mitchell, Commercial Real Estate Advisor

🎉 LEASE SIGNED — San Francisco, CA!

I am so excited to celebrate this WIN with my client — a nonprofit organization with three existing locations throughout San Francisco — who just leased their FOURTH space, complete with an option to purchase!

Here's the real story: we spent two months negotiating a different space, and at the last minute, it didn't work out. My client was understandably frustrated. I kept encouraging them — "When it's for you, it will be for you." (I'll be honest, they weren't quite as sure. LOL!)

But we stayed the course. Two months later, a better opportunity came along — one that not only met their needs but gave them a path toward ownership. That's a legacy move for any nonprofit.

I am deeply grateful for the trust my clients place in me, especially through the tough moments. Watching organizations grow their footprint and deepen their community impact is the most rewarding part of this work.

If you or someone you know is looking to lease, purchase, or develop commercial property anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area — I'd love to be a resource.

🏢 Leasing Tip for Landlords & Brokers
Thinking about listing your commercial property? Make sure your lease checks these 3 key boxes tenants care most about:

🔑 1. Clear Rent Terms
Tenants want to know the base rent, CAM charges, and if there are annual increases. Transparency builds trust.

📆 2. Flexibility & Lease Term
Shorter initial terms with renewal options make your space more appealing—especially to small business owners.

🔧 3. Who Handles What?
Clearly outline who’s responsible for maintenance, repairs, and improvements to avoid surprises later.
