Why It Works
Institutional Knowledge. Applied to Your Deal.
Every outcome above was achieved using the same playbook Fortune 500 real estate departments deploy—market intelligence, negotiation leverage, and the discipline to walk away from a bad deal. The difference is that playbook is now available to independent franchise operators, not just billion-dollar brands.
We know the landlord's playbook
VanDana has sat on both sides of the table. She knows what landlords concede, what they protect, and where the real leverage lives.
We negotiate every line
Rent is one variable. TI allowances, free rent periods, renewal options, co-tenancy clauses, and personal guarantee limitations are where the real money is made or lost.
We protect your exit
A lease that looks good on day one can trap you on year five. We structure deals with flexibility, optionality, and exit provisions built in from the start.
