At The Saywitz Company, I served as the primary point of contact for new clients, promoting our comprehensive service offerings. I guided clients through the selection of various property types, including medical, flex, office, and industrial properties. My role involved building and strengthening collaborations with investors, sellers, and representatives, leading the end-to-end property leasing process, and negotiating deals. I also assisted in preparing tenancy and lease agreements, with fluency in both English and Spanish enhancing my ability to serve a diverse clientele. To improve client investment decisions, I developed a deep understanding of current market data, including rents and available concessions. I streamlined the sales process by creating a proprietary database of local investors, which I used to identify and target prospective clients. This effort included upgrading evaluation processes and accelerating sales cycles. I also leveraged various communication channels, such as texting and email campaigns, to connect with potential clients and drive business.
