Buying Real Estate: Finding the right piece of real estate can be difficult.  

Q:  
"How do you know if it is the right price, size, and location; and is there a better property out there?"  

A:   
ASA Commercial Real Estate is able to help navigate through the various options one comes across in the Acquisition of Real Estate. We believe that there are two reasons that people buy Commercial Real Estate, Commercial Use and Investment Purposes. With either reason for purchase, there are several external factors that will affect the acquisition process. We have a proven streamlined process, and trained analytical agents to assist.

OWNER OCCUPANT/USER ACQUISITION 
When a user is searching for piece of real property on which to operate his business, he must take an analytical approach to site selection. Some of the issues to be dealt with are:
•    Buy or Lease
•    Buy Existing or Build New
•    Acquisition Price
•    Building Size
•    Location
•    Exit Strategy

INVESTOR ACQUISITION
When an investor is looking for a real estate investment, several questions must be answered to find the right investment. Our agents are familiar with this process.
•    Investment Dollars Available
•    Investment Goals
•    Desired Yield
•    Property Types
•    Hold Period
•    Tenant/Investment Analysis
•    Purchase Price

Please contact us to schedule an appointment with one of our agents.


Selling Real Estate: Getting my property exposed to prospective Purchaser's.

Q:    
"How can I get the maximum sales price for my property?"

A:    
ASA Commercial Real Estate is able to market your property and gain exposure to the maximum amount of potential Buyers, through web listing services, print advertising, direct mail pieces, property signage, and through our agents personal and professional relationships. We will analyze your cost in the property, and suggest to you a Best Case Sales Price, a Worst Case Sales Price, and a Most Likely Sales Price. As in Buying Real Estate; we believe there are two types of real estate owners, User’s and Investors.  

OWNER OCCUPANT/ USER DISPOSITION:
When a user is considering selling a piece of property, he must take an analytical approach to making a decision on how to handle his real property. Some of the issues to be dealt with are:
•    Sell or Hold and Lease
•    Sale with Leaseback
•    Highest and Best Use
•    Re-Zone & Sell
•    Improve & Sell
•    Disposition Timeline

INVESTOR DISPOSITION:
When an investor is considering disposing a piece of commercial real estate several questions must be answered to determine the highest potential yield on the investment. Our agents are familiar with this process.
•    Have Investment Goals been met?
•    Is there a Better Alternative Investment?
•    Is now the right time to sell?
•    What is the strength of the Current Tenant?
•    Will the Property Appraise?
•    What is a realistic sales Price?

Please contact us to schedule an appointment with one of our agents.


Whether a Tenant or a Landlord, Leasing can be confusing.

Q:    
"How do I get the best deal when Leasing Space."

A:
ASA Commercial Real Estate is able to negotiate Lease space for a client to secure the best possible terms. In regard to Leasing, there are two parties, the Lessee (Tenant) and the Lessor (Landlord). ASA Commercial has experience in representing either of the parties. Depending on the party being represented, different approaches are taken. Our agents are well versed in these methods.

TENANT REPRESENTATION:
When representing a Tenant that is looking for a site, whether national or local, a knowledgeable commercial real estate agent can be a huge asset.  Depending on the Tenant’s product, service, or industry; the agent will narrow the market down to those properties which allow the Tenant to best operate the business. Some of the decisions that will have to be made are:
•    Buy or Lease Analysis
•    Zoning Analysis
•    Needed Space
•    Demographic Analysis
•    Secure market, or below market rent
•    Site Selection
•    Build-to-Suite Options

LANDLORD REPRESENTATION:
When representing a Landlord needing to fill vacant space, ASA Commercial has a proven streamlined process to allow your property to gain maximum exposure to prospective Tenants, through Professional Memberships, relationships with national Tenant Representatives, and Direct Mail pieces.  Several variables must be considered when negotiating a lease:
•    Lease Rate in order to secure future sales price
•    Lease term
•    Strategic Lease to not negatively affect the rest of the property
•    Incentives to attract new Tenants
•    Lease or Sell

The Louisiana High School Athletic School Associations's executive committee voted to start a process that will lead to construction of a new LHSAA office and Hall of Fame building in the Baton Rouge area. The executive committee met before Friday's general business session and approved the move, based on a 17- page study submitted by the new Commissioner Kenny Henderson and LHSAA business manager Allison LeBlanc. Discussion about whether to renovate the current office, located at 8075 Jefferson Hwy., or to buy land and build a new complex began at a business-finance committee meeting Tuesday, the day before the convention began. The committee was not required to go to the general assembly of principals for approval of the planned purchases-sale. " When I look at the building we have now, I can see it being renovated into something fantastic," Henderson said. " You can't always look at these things with your heart. I'd like to see us move into a facility that will last this organization 20 years. We could have a Hall of Fame there along with a multi-purpose room we could use for classes, meetings, and hearings." The 17 - page report detailed the need for maintenance or renovation to the existing property, a converted antebellum-style home purchased in 2000 for $1.2 million. At the time of its purchase, the current facility was twice the size of the previous LHSAA offices located off off Jefferson on Wrenwood. Ineffective office space, a lack of space and parking for meetings-classes and the need to update wiring and other structural improvements were among the reasons cited for a new facility. A lack of space forces the LHSAA to store items at other sites and to rent sites to hold meetings and classes. Henderson told the committee a new facility with space and meeting areas would provide a significant savings. A comparison of the three options presented showed staying at current location with limited upgrades would cost $995,000, while doing major upgrades to the current office would cost $1,606,500. In turn, new construction on a new 8,000- to 10,000- square foot facility was listed as $815,600. Costs to obtain property were not included in estimates. The committee charged Henderson, LeBlanc and assistant commissioner B.J. Guzzardo to lead the project. No timetable for completion of the project was set. Doug Ferris of ASA Commercial Real Estate has been contracted to handle the sale of the current property and to help acquire a south Baton Rouge site for a new complex.
Henry Building (s)
Approval of the new building project came less than 24 hours after Henderson announced the current building would be named in honor of recently retired Commissioner Tommy Henry. Henry was honored with a plaque, which will hang outside the LHSAA building, at his retirement banquet Thursday. LeBlanc said when the LHSAA moves to its new facilities, those facilities will also bear Henry's name and include plaque.The tribute to Henry, who spent 24 years as LHSAA commissioner, lasted more than four hours. He received other gifts, plaques and was presented with proclamation from his hometown of Alexandria, making Jan. 24 Tommy Henry Day.
Officers, dates, etc.
Marlin Ramsey of South Beauregard was re-elected as the LHSAA president for 2008. South Terrebonne's Ken Delcambre was elected as the vice president.  Delcambre replaces Raymond Cassimere of Northwest, whose term has expired. The list of former executive committee members recognized Friday included Woodlawn Principal Jimmy Newman and former Springfield Principal Ed Foster, now administrator at the Livingston Parish School Board office . Dates for the 2008 State Farm Prep Classic football championships and the 2009 LHSAA Convention were also announced. The Prep Classic will be Dec. 12-13 at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. The convention will be held Jan. 28-30 at the Holiday Inn Select. 
Awards, etc.
Former LHSAA executive committee members David Buller, Gerald Cobb and Donald Dunbar received Distinguished Service awards in Thursday's Coca-Cola Convention Luncheon. Buller is the former principal of Iowa High and served as LHSAA president. Dunbar, who is now part of the LHSAA's school visitation committee, is also a past president  and served as an assistant commissioner for two years. Cobb represented Ruston High and Lincoln Parish on the executive committee. Former Archbishop Hannan and the Tulane baseball player Tommy Manzella received the Golden Torch award for contributions to the community by a former athlete. Manzella is part of the Houston Astros organization. Pierce Huff of the Times Picayune garnered the Prep Journalism award from the LHSAA, while Louisiana Sports Writers Association gave its Casey Kozminski award for cooperation and contributions to the media to St. James football coach Rick Gaille. Steve Bruscato of the Monroe-West Monroe COnvention and Visitors Bureau and Porter Taylor of Acadian Ambulance received awards for their organizations' contributions to LHSAA championship events.
