West Palm Beach broker Ed Kearney speeds property options, lease to florists

/Kearney Commercial Realty, Inc.West Palm Beach Florida/ 01/24/2010

When Coastal Wholesale Florists needed to lease industrial space in West Palm Beach in a hurry, Ed Kearney responded with service and speed.

 

“They needed to act fast and wanted to be open for business in less than two months,” said Kearney, managing partner of Kearney Commercial Real Estate, Inc./Sperry Van Ness. “I listened to their requirements and had a lease signed in less a month after our first meeting.”

 

Liz and Kevin Donaldson, co-owners of Coastal Wholesale Florist in Melbourne, found Kearney through an Internet search for West Palm Beach brokers. They saw an opportunity to break into the West Palm Beach market and wanted to seize on that with a well-placed location that allowed quick and easy move-in.

 

The Donaldsons and Ed Kearney met for lunch on Oct. 31 and Kearney took them on a tour of warehouse properties he had researched. Before the day was over, the company had signed a tenant representation contract with Kearney Commercial Real Estate.

 

One of the industrial properties held the most promise and Kearney pursued whether it could fit both the time and space needs for the Donaldsons.

 

“We subsequently met with cooler installers, electricians and the landlord regarding the property they wanted,” Kearney said. “The Donaldsons were given confidence that their use would be approved without significant expenses for improvements such as a new sprinkler system.”

 

The terms were negotiated the week of Thanksgiving, and the company signed a lease for 7,680 square feet the day after the holiday.

 

“We appreciate Ed Kearney’s quick response and knowledge of local market conditions,” said company owners Liz and Kevin Donaldson. “His selection of appropriate properties to tour and sage advice during lease negotiations were most helpful. As a result, we found the right property and had a favorable lease signed in less than 30 days.”

 

“You can be sure that we will rely upon Ed Kearney’s commercial real estate expertise for our future space requirements in Palm Beach County,” they said.
