Tips for More-Effective
Commercial Real Estate
Negotiations
By using NUMERAL, a mnemonic
How do you uncover
information in the
negotiation process?
We often assume…
“They will never pay that much.”
“We've got to have it done in 60 days.”
“There is a lot of competition.”
“They would never be interested in this option.”
“They don’t have enough money.”
“I’m sure we’re not the top bidder.”
Don’t trust your assumptions.
Used to:
• Develop open-ended questions
• Create a process for successful negotiations
• Uncover needs and wants
• Test your assumptions
NUMERAL
Needs
Urgency
Motivation
Expectations
Resources
Authority
Loyalty
NUMERAL
Needs
NUMERAL
Determine the nature of the needs and wants. Is it:
• More space?
• A new workplace solution?
• A green and natural buffer from retail/commercial uses?
• The satisfaction of having city recognize community needs?
• To clean up an eyesore?
What's the most important need?
Urgency
What are the timing issues, if any, and what is driving the urgency
of the negotiations?
• Allot time to prepare.
• Identify the pressures.
• Time is money so use it.
• Beware of the quick deal.
• Uncover the deadlines, real or imposed.
• Ask questions to determine if parties have any time issues.
NUMERAL
Motivation
This answers all of the “why” questions.
• Why do you have the needs you have?
• Why is time so important?
• Why negotiate this deal?
Uncover the true interest of everyone involved.
NUMERAL
Expectations
Discover what all parties expect to obtain.
• What is your aspiration level? Those who expect more get
more.
• Aim high, but weigh the risks. Always justify and determine your
holdout time.
• Always be able to justify your offer.
• Establish realistic expectations in the negotiations process.
NUMERAL
Resources
What resources do you have in the negotiation process?
• Information is power.
• What are the tangibles and intangibles?
• Can they apply political pressure?
• Is litigation one of the tools they possess?
• What can they bring to the table?
• How do you increase the size of the pie and claim/share that
value?
• Evaluate your BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated
agreement) throughout the process.
NUMERAL
Authority
What is the process of getting this transaction approved?
• Does it require a higher authority?
• Who are the invisible players?
• Understand the sources of power.
• What type of authority are you negotiating with? Could an
outside force affect the deal later on?
NUMERAL
Loyalty
Is everyone committed to the negotiation process?
• Find out if everyone is committed to working together fairly.
• Agree to disagree.
• Act in a professional manner.
• Demonstrate your commitment to the process.
NUMERAL
NUMERAL
Why use it?
Because information gathering is an essential step in
finding a better deal for both parties.

Difficult Deals” from Commercial Investment Real Estate magazine.
