Someone he could train as a real estate broker and share the great wisdom he has accumulated over the last few decades. He apparently found the perfect guinea pig; his son-in-law.  Sheeesh.  What a perfect way to create family disharmony; by barking orders to your daughter’s husband. All kidding aside, could there be anything better than helping your children and their spouses follow in your footsteps but do a far better job than you? Sadly, I haven’t been a great leader of law clerks and attorneys and the only thing that I could think of that I would be less capable at is training my own children to work for me. Nevertheless and without any hesitation whatsoever, I started dispensing my sage advice to Allen, born from my many failures over the years. It then struck me that CRE Radio was the perfect platform to help Allen get the most out of this experience while at the same time keeping family harmony. Instead of just me doing the talking, why not invite my listeners to help out and give some of their advice on the radio. A great radio show and help a friend. Rather than our usual format, we are going to treat this show as a problem solving forum where the listeners become the heavy participants and become more the speakers than the listeners. Among other things, we will discuss: How to best prepare for a new trainee or intern?Should you train for the short term and long term?Best training practices?How soon should interns join organizations such as Boma and CCIM?How much should interns be paid and how effective is the bonus or commission system;How to best involve interns in social media and when?01:26:00Howard KlinenoAllen Buchanan,Lee & Associates,Marketing Assistant,Real Estate BrokerA few weeks ago, Allen Buchanan, an experienced broker at Lee & Associates was telling me that he was in the process of hiring an assistant to help him with hisCommercial Real Estate Bankruptcy-What You Need to Knowhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/hfklaw/2014/04/04/commercial-real-estate-bankruptcy-what-you-need-to-knowReal Estatehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/hfklaw/2014/04/04/commercial-real-estate-bankruptcy-what-you-need-to-know/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/hfklaw/2014/04/04/commercial-real-estate-bankruptcy-what-you-need-to-knowFri, 04 Apr 2014 17:00:00 GMTCommercial Real Estate Bankruptcy-What You Need to KnowAlthough the economy seems to be improving bankruptcy is not something that will be going away soon.

What is a real estate specific bankruptcy and when should a tenant consider this option? If you are a landlord, how can you best protect yourself and insure that you maximize rents in the event of a tenant bankruptcy? Did you ever consider that a tenant bankruptcy could be a good thing for a landlord or perhaps not as bad as you thought? During this show, we are going to discuss many of these issues and give a detailed overview of what landlords and tenants can plan for an expect. 01:48:00Howard Klinenobankruptcy,chapter 13,Chapter 7,Chapter 11,Landlord TenantAlthough the economy seems to be improving bankruptcy is not something that will be going away soon.

Furthermore, lease acceleration clauses are often highly regulated or limited, depending upon the state that the premises are located. Some states specifically, by statute allow for a landlord to accelerate rents upon the tenant’s default and others may simply leave it up to the parties to agree or not, to a rent acceleration clause. Our featured guest is a noted attorney, John G. Kelly, a Partner with the firm of Bean Kinney & Korman, PC, with offices in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC. John has taken the time and effort to analyze some of the most significant cases relating to lease acceleration clauses in prominent states, including: CaliforniaMassachusettsVirginiaGeorgiaPennsylvania As part of the discussion, we will also discuss strategies that both the landlord and tenant can employ when drafting the lease acceleration clause. 01:19:00Howard KlinenoLease,Lease Acceleration,Civil Code 1951.2,Civil Code 1951.4,John G.

In connection with the FTC reviewing and amending the FTC Rule on Franchising, similar efforts were made to add a relationship component to the amended rule. These various efforts failed and we have been through a period of relative calm with respect to proposed franchise legislation.  However, in recent months we have seen a resurgence of legislative efforts – this time at the state level – that may change the playing field.  Whether it is due to the challenging economic environment, a perception that franchise agreements are more one-sided or other circumstances, these recent efforts seek to tilt the balance in favor of franchisees by restricting franchisor practices that are deemed unfair, protecting franchisees’ equity in their businesses and empowering collective actions by franchisee groups." ~ Erik B.

But what happens when a tenant encounters unanticipated issues and needs or wants to make a move before the lease ends? What does the tenant do if it can’t move? How do you create 25,000 square feet of space out of a 20,000 square foot footprint? Hint, it’s not just about building a mezzanine or building out.

The location controlled the decision. Now there is a much greater focus on how to get the product into the customers hands.

How many eyeballs see your name is all that counts, right? What about relationships and trust, nice words to include in your repertoire, but do those words put food on your table or pay your mortgage? And let’s not forget the two most chic words of 2013, “engagement” and “collaboration.” Oh, how the experts like to throw those words in your face, if for no other reason then to show you how much more they know than you.   But enough of my ranting, listen as we discuss these issues and the meaning of life (in social media) with some of the most well know and influential commercial real estate professionals that utilize social media to bring in the money. We are not the social media experts. We are the pilgrims, the veterans, the ones with the scars and stories of the things we didn’t understand, we don’t understand and what we are figuring out as we go along.   During the show, we will also discuss why you should be interested in social media for your business and what services (LinkedIn, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest, among others) you should use and for what purposes. Property manager, logistics expert, investor, property manager; this is not a one size fits all lecture. We will help you figure this out for your purposes.01:30:00Howard KlinenoCRE,commercial real estate,social media,linkedin,facebookSocial media.

That's how long ago I did my first show on the topic with Michael Vandergoot and Peter Morris. Prior to that, I had no idea what the hullabaloo was about. I used my preparation for the show, and the show itself, to educate myself. Then, there were lots of comments and objections to the proposed changes. Now we seem to be at the final comment stage with FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board), proposing new changes to go into effect in 2017. What are these proposed changes? Why do we, as commercial real estate professionals care? Who are these changes going to affect? How can those affected prepare for the changes? Who should be paying attention: brokers, property managers, asset managers, tenants and investors—or is this something for just CFO's and accounting types?If accounting changes are not going to take effect until 2017, why are we talking about them now? Hint: if the leases you are signing today are longer than 4 years, you should be thinking about this and listening to this show.Do these new standards apply to leases in countries other than the United States?     Featured Guests: Michael Vandergoot, CPA Senior Compliance Officer, BC Compliance Group, LLC Peter Morris SCLS, SCSM, SCMD CEO, Greenstead Group LLC Mike Hammerslag MBA, MS, PhD(ABD), MCR, CPM Real Estate Solutions Strategist, Lucernex   01:22:00Howard Klinenoleases,commercial property,CRE,commercial real estate,real estateShare your comments, view guest information, connect with us at our website We've been hearing about the proposed changes in lease accounting standards for oveNetworking & Working the Net: Relationship Buildinghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/hfklaw/2013/08/09/networking-working-the-net-relationship-buildingReal Estatehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/hfklaw/2013/08/09/networking-working-the-net-relationship-building/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/hfklaw/2013/08/09/networking-working-the-net-relationship-buildingFri, 09 Aug 2013 19:00:00 GMTNetworking & Working the Net: Relationship Building The ability to create rapport with people is a fundamental skill in sales, management, personal relationships, and everyday life. Put simply, people prefer to interact with people they like. You don’t have to change your personality, you simply have to understand what drives people and recognize your options for effectively dealing with them.   This show is about how to read people when you meet them at a networking event or online so that you illicit from them the universal, emotional “like” and they are motivated to deal with you further.   Our featured guest, Laura Bruno is “The Business Relationship Authority.” Her approach to building successful business relationships is understanding the universal language of “behavior styles.” Laura will explain how to correctly read and interpret these behavioral styles when at an in-person networking event so you can get the most out of each introduction and handshake.   We want to understand behavioral styles so we can interact and engage with other people, and from a business perspective, so they’ll buy our product or service. Understanding behavioral styles enhances our interaction with other people when we meet them. However, you don’t want to just meet people, you want to “engage” them. In today’s digital world, engagement is more than a “press the flesh” handshake, it’s just as applicable and important when interacting online. We’ll delve into the similarities and differences between reading and reacting to those same styles when online.01:17:00Howard Klinenonetworking,CRE,sales,marketing,commercial real estateThe ability to create rapport with people is a fundamental skill in sales, management, personal relationships, and everyday life.

With the change in economy came a change in space availability, going from an overabundance of retail space in the early 90's to the non-existence of available space at the beginning of the millennium. Now as the economy begins to improve, the lease strategies of franchisors, franchisees and landlords again change to the times. Compounding the changes in the economy are laws unique to the franchise relationship which often affect lease terms.

This show is a primer for landlords, tenants, property managers, lease administrators and anyone else who deals with commercial leases and the insurance provisions typically found in those leases.   In nearly 40 years of lease negotiations and litigation, I’ve found that it’s the insurance provisions in leases that are the least negotiated and understood provisions in commercial leases. Even the attorneys often say “it’s a typical insurance provision.”   But what do those insurance provisions really mean? Who do they protect and who might they harm? Once the lease is signed, is there anything the landlord or tenant need to do to ensure that the insurance provisions are fully enforceable and effective? Does a landlord really need a certificate of insurance from the tenant’s insurance carrier? What, if any, benefit does the landlord get from being named an additional insured?

As we slowly slip out of the realm of recession and into the thought of recovery and new construction, developers are beginning to think about new buildings and design.  Architects are about to see their business expand and are being asked to design new buildings with origination and flair... or just copy what has already been done. Really, are we in the real estate business to express our individuality and artistic flair or we doing this to make money? It may be both, but there is no denying that after years of cutting back costs just to survive, who really wants to spend a bunch of money on original design? Let's just cut the cost and tell the architect to copy some other building. Sounds like a good idea, no? Well, maybe it's not such a good idea and copying building designs may cost you far more than you imagined. Listen as we discuss with Jeff Reichard, the world of architectural copyright protection and what architects, developers and building owners need to know when planning new development. Some of the questions that we intend to answer, include: Can you copy the design of a building?  If so, what are the limitations imposed by law and how can you get around those limitations? Who actually owns the design of a building and how do you make sure that you own the design? How do you protect and enforce your rights to a design? If you buy a building that is already constructed, should you have any concerns that you may have liability for copyright infringement? Featured Guest: Jeffrey M.

This radio show is based upon Ira Meislik’s Ruminations blog posting ”Can We Tamp Down The Document Negotiating Fire And Just Get The Deal Done?” Is there some way that we can get past a lot of the negotiating positioning and “beeline” it straight to the agreement or we must always do the “dog and pony show”? This will be a point/counter-point type of discussion with Ira Meislik, Joel Hall, and me taking Ira’s thoughts and suggestions for a spin, both from a landlord and a tenant perspective. Is it possible to design a lease that both parties would or should agree upon without time-wasting negotiations? What would the parties be giving up to start with a lease form “pre-negotiated” to include those provisions that normally show up in a lease after weeks of negotiations? Can the parties trust each other to start with a “centrist-type” form? Does that make sense? Is it a realistic possibility? In his blog posting, Ira suggests that there could be a “boilerplate” lease provision to cover many, many parts of a lease where the parties now trod through line by line. He thinks it’s possible to do that in a way that is “fair.” Somehow, I am confident that Joel and I will not entirely agree on that concept! This should be a fun and lively discussion with some creative and positive results. Featured Guests Ira Meislik, Managing Principal at Meislik & Meislik Joel Hall, The Law Offices of Joel R.

It's undeniable that California legislation and propositions often serve as a model for other states to adopt or avoid and this show is a review of some of the top legislation affecting California commercial property in 2012. We'll also peek into some of the "earth shattering" legislation proposed during the 2013 session. Our featured guest is Rex Hime, President and CEO of the California Commercial Business Properties Association. Topics include: major reform to California's ADA law, renewed efforts to implement a split roll property tax, and efforts to establish a workable “Green Building” code. Governor Brown signed California’s ADA reform measure, SB 1186 which is intended to curb lawsuit abuse regarding the Americans With Disabilities Act while promoting increased compliance with disabled accessibility building codes. This bill is being hailed as the most comprehensive and significant reform to California’s ADA Law. Currently, California has 40% of the nation’s ADA lawsuits but only 12% of the country’s disabled population. I will add some commentary based upon my practical experience applying the law to existing lawsuits that I am involved in. We'll also talk a little about the huge amount of work that Rex and the CPBA does to make sure the commercial property owners' interests are well represented in the state legislature. I attended a meeting in Sacramento last June with the CPBA and I must admit that I walked away with a totally new appreciation for what Rex and his staff do on our behalf (even if he over-does the Hawaiian shirt thing)! 01:02:00Howard Klinenocommercial real estate,california law,green buildings,property tax,commercial propertyView this show on the creradio.com They say "what happens in California affects the rest of the country," but I would add that is both good and bad news.

I am going to be discussing my “hands-on” experience with numerous smart phones within these categories and my “take” on which one is the most effective for the CRE professional. I have used 4 versions of the iPhone, about a dozen Android phones, including the HTC One X and Samsung S III and numerous Windows phones, including the Nokia 900 and the new Nokia Lumia 920. I have some definite opinions on all three operating systems and the devices using them. I also believe that I can explain the pros and cons of each of the most current devices. Should you get one of those new, interesting looking Windows Phone 8 smart phones if you work in a Microsoft-centric corporate environment or can you continue to use that iPhone 3s that is now more than two years old?  What about that Samsung Galaxy S III or Samsung Galaxy Note II that have been flying off the shelves or perhaps that new iPhone 5?

As is typical of our shows, we will go into some detail as to the meaning of these traits and not just give you a list.  We want to have a discussion that will give some meaning to the listeners so that our listeners might take something away from the discussion and apply lessons learned to make themselves more successful. Here about the "dogged persistence" and motivating story of Eric Northbrook who overcame a crippling accident that paralyzed him from the neck down, to continue to be an extremely successful broker and add further positive meaning to his life.  We will also discuss, among other things, the "Young Guns" who bring fresh ideas and perspectives to the business.  This is where Howard will take the opportunity to make his point that you don't have to be young to come up with fresh, innovative ideas. 01:26:00Howard Klinenocommercial real estate,shopping centers,real estate,brokers,Rod SantomassimoWe are very pleased to have as this weeks featured guest, Rod Santomassismo, author of the book, "Brokers Who Dominate, 8 traits of the top producers."

Further complicating everyone's job are situations in which the buyer is the lender foreclosing on the property. This show will address some of the key issues faced by property managers and attorneys who represent buyers aftter the purchase of a commercial property after foreclosure. While property managers and the owners attorney have the same general responsibility to maximize revenue, profit and value of the property, their focus is a little different.  So we have invited some very experienced professionals to provide the property manager and leasing brokers perspective. Featured guests for this show will be Kevin Cavanaugh, Chief Operating Officer and Jim Patton, Director of Leasing & Acquisitions, both of NewMark Merrill Companies, reported as one of the fastest growing private companies since 1997.
