Management Services

Most owners of commercial and investment property owners take pride in their investment, and enjoy being directly involved in the day-to-day responsibilities. While this can provide the owner a sense of security, it can become an overwhelming responsibility. Glenn Martin Company is there when it becomes appropriate and necessary to retain the services of a professional firm that can represent the owner’s interest, while keeping the owner “in the loop.”

Commercial Property Management

Managing retail/commercial/industrial property requires a specific skill set. The complexities of the commercial lease, along with the business nature of commercial property, drives management decision-making in ways that are different from residential property. Properties tend to be more valuable, tenants stay longer, decisions are focused on the bottom line. Commercial property’s value is derived from healthy, stable tenants. Once under contract, tenants and landlords become partners in the property, each with specific responsibilities. Glenn has the knowledge to see issues and resolve problems, meeting the needs and expectations of both business operators and property owners.

Commercial Leasing Services

Glenn Martin Company has been representing tenants and landlords for the past 20 years, with extensive knowledge of the central coast real estate market. Identifying someone who can handle a difficult negotiation while continuing to maintain positive relationships between owner and tenant should be the goal of every commercial property owner. Our consultative approach to building the right lease allows owner and tenant to discuss difficult issues and resolve them in a way that works for both parties. It is this philosophy that has allowed Glenn Martin Company to work with the same tenants on an ongoing basis.
