Mother’s Day is coming up. I share this every year. Here are a few things that she probably wants at various budget level: ✅ Family pictures with a professional photographer. Check the family calendar and schedule it. She doesn’t need another thing to do. ✅ A super high quality bathrobe like they have at a fancy hotel with bath salts and some nice candles ✅ Carry out for lunch. Avoid the crowds and kid meltdowns and get her favorite carry out (order in advance) - do not tell her to do it 🙄 ✅ Take over the bedtime routine and send her to read a book and take a bath ✅ Spa day but don’t schedule it for Mother’s Day, she will probably feel weird not being with the family. Book it for her a couple weeks later and if you can afford it, pay for a friend to go with her. ✅ Car detailing- arrange for her car to get a deep clean from fruit snacks and glitter crafts so she can feel like an adult for a while and not a mobile preschool. ✅ Get together with your guy friends and organize and schedule a quarterly - “moms night out” where the guys take on the kids and send the moms out together. This gift is really about organizing it for her with all the different schedules so don’t skip that part. ✅ Photo collage - grab her iPhone and pod of a digital frame or print and frame a bunch of the ones she has marked favorite. Get them off the phone and around the house. She has been meaning to do this forever. ✅ Hand print anything. Stepping stone for the garden, mug, picture. We really do like these things and they cost next to nothing. Things that need to be glazed need a couple weeks lead time. ✅ Mom’s Snack Vault. Grab a lockable container and stuff it with her favorite snacks you and the kids keep stealing. ✅ Of course home made cards and crafts made by the kids and framed and wrapped. We aren’t just saying it, we really love that stuff.

With as much business as a decent sized leasing team can provide an attorney on the tenant rep side alone, why don’t we hire one in house? 1. It’s a conflict of interest. 2. Per state rules clients have to engage their own attorney 3. Bad agents could use the attorney to persuade a client to do something they shouldn’t. If requested, we offer a list and change it often based on a lot of factors. Most of the time, clients pick someone on their own which we are fine with. But when picking an attorney it’s important to find one that: 1. Is not a generalist and understands commercial deals 2. Knows their role is to protect, not negotiate what was already negotiated 3. Knows all leases are landlord friendly and can explain to the client why. (Same reason your car loan is bank friendly) it becomes more tenant friendly the bigger your company’s size and credit (think Walmart, Starbucks and Mc Donald’s) 4. Knows “it doesn’t hurt to ask” actually costs several hundred dollars an hour and costs deals. Only the attorney is paid in those situations. The client could end up ‘homeless’ and without a business at all if the location generates the revenue like retail 5. Looks for mistakes and contradictions like their clients’ lives depend on it. Most disagreements result from this! 6. Proposes reasonable terms likely to be accepted vs aspirational ones to limit weeks of back and forth and more redlines and legal bills for both parties. 7. Understands the client, after education from the lawyer, decides what risks to take, not the lawyer. A fully de-risked deal is no deal at all. 8. Knows the landlords and what to look out for based on their history. Thats why I like to recommend local when possible but sometime it’s not. 9. Keeps the total bill in check a reasonable. Most small tenants cannot afford to have a legal bill eat up 1-2 months of the free rent they negotiated to help start up/ relocation costs. 10. Turns things around quickly. Slow deals invite competition for the space which reduces leverage and kills deals. I firmly believe all tenants should get an attorney, a good one, to review the lease. It’s not uncommon for a landlord to have a junior team member fill out the template instead of an attorney. So if anything just to check for mistakes, they happen a lot more than you would think. After 20 years, I’ve seen simple mistakes or conflicting language continue to be in the top three most common sources of risk with managing leases.

Never, ever, bet against New York.

It is wild and concerning seeing the situation in Mexico unfold. We honeymooned and vacationed in Puerto Vallarta as many of us here in Texas have. This is such a poignant reminder that behind the tall walls of resorts and our little vacation bubbles, deep turmoil exists. Prayers and strength for our neighbors to the south 🙏

RT @TheATX1: I had already taken this off my list (at the link in the pinned post) of active projects due to two plus years of inactivity.…

Rest in peace our beloved Augustus McCrea. 95 years - what an epic life Robert Duvall had.

@realEstateTrent Yes - your mom is a bad ass! She can whip your butt no matter how old or big you get.

Long story short, when I quit karate at age 13, my mom wanted to keep hanging out with the other parents. So they all signed up for a beginner class, she’s stuck it out for decades, and became a black belt.

@Anniesaysitsok Exciting! Time to hit the gas! When complete- cost seg and bonus depreciate. @YonahWeiss is expert - reach out to him.

As a broker, I pour so much into my pipeline, my team, and the CRE community I've built. My husband and I also own and manage our portfolio together. Everything from a commercial property in Little Haiti to duplexes, condos, single-family, and land. But we're ready to shift away from residential. and I'm more comfortable in the CRE world. Our real ambition is developing small bay warehouses near the urban core. We secured our first site in 2016 (behind our office). Area rents have more than doubled since then and plans are finalized for a 6-bay, 7,700 SF building—now we just need to hit the gas.

@kaylanknit @AvivaRealEstate 4403 west commerce San Antonio. Come on @kaylanknit - lots roll!

@BeckReit @AvivaRealEstate Send me the addy 👀👀

Well, I just found out (from social) that a tenant of mine had a “sacrificial lamb“ themed party in a warehouse unit I rented him.

@AvivaRealEstate You haven’t come to visit me in Texas yet, I think you should on 420

@BeckReit This is something I could get into

Everyone else has the ground hog. But in Texas we have an armadillo that tells us what is next for Spring / Winter . As it should be #TexasProud

@CoyDavidsonCRE Noted and agree. But I don’t lease near the office you do, maybe a tiny sliver. Glad to hear the office expert say it.

Nobody ever asks me to find space in a Leed Certified Office Building. Evah They often pick them because they are typically newer and highly amentizied but that is never a selection criteria.

For revamping Austin's Sixth Street, city staff are recommending.....Door Number Three. Door Number Three (aka Alternative 3) proposes the biggest sidewalks and nixes any bike/scooter lanes. #tab-72916" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">speakupaustin.org/sixthstreet#ta…

For anyone who hasn't driven down to San Antonio recently, their I-35 project at 1604 is either an awesome engineering feat or extreme failure in urbanism. Or maybe both?
