On top of the issues before they became a problem The staff at Julius Webb, Inc. is always there when we need them and here to help within 24 hours of when we call. Lately, we’ve had two instances when we called on Julius Webb, Inc. and the staff was on top of the issues before they became a problem. We appreciate the helpful staff who always takes the time to explain what’s going on. The Lumberyard is a vibrant property, and has grown tremendously since we came in nine years ago, as just the second tenant.
We’re happy The office was opened because of the proximity to Home Depot’s headquarters and Powers Ferry Business Park is very conveniently located to Home Depot, as well as the interstates. This is a great place to meet in Atlanta and show off our grills and accessories. We’re just four miles from Home Depot headquarters, and it’s easy for folks from Home Depot to stop by and see what we have to offer. We have an end location with receiving space, warehouse and display space, and a nice, well-maintained outdoor area, too. It is perfect for us. We’re happy.
A space that matches our personality We’ve worked with Julius Webb, Inc. to create a space that matches our personality. As soon as people walk in the door, they know who we are and what we are about. One of my favorite things about this space is I can sit on my couch in the office living area with my feet on the table, music playing, the garage door open, and can see my old office tower where I used to work. It is so good being here. We looked at many places before we found our space at Armour Junction and we intend to stay here for a while.
Easy to talk to and work with from day one I was searching online for warehouse space in the area and Julius Webb, Inc. popped up.

I took two of our coaches with me and we met up with Allen and Tom of Julius Webb, Inc., and they have been so easy to talk to and work with from day one that there was no need to look anywhere else. The team was able to create what I had imagined and more, and it looks fantastic.

We are pleased with the custom build-out and they did a great job. They were flexible, on time and even ahead of schedule.
Everyone is very responsive I needed a larger space and was unhappy with my lease situation, so when I found the listing at 225 Curie Drive, I reached out and heard back from Julius Webb, Inc. President, Julius Webb, personally. He coordinated a showing right away and I fell in love with the spot. We’re in the warehouse portion and we love the industrial feel.

A commercial real estate broker is a person or company that represents the buyer, landlord, or current/future tenant(s) in the agreement of leasing or owning commercial real estate. They can also provide consultive guidance to the party they represent.
At no cost to you, your interests are our top priority throughout the buying or leasing process. We’ll find commercial space that meets your requirements and setup showings. Our brokers have access to the top listings before they become available to the public giving you the edge. We work with landlords, buyers, sellers, and developers, to negotiate the perfect deal for you and your business.
A broker is not required to find and negotiate your new office space, but neither is a lawyer when fighting a court case – It’s in your best interest to have representation. And the best part, is hiring a broker doesn’t cost you anything. A broker provides you knowledgeable insight into the local market and stays by your side through the whole process, ensuring you have a positive and smooth transition.
You can search for office space on your own through Loopnet and other websites, but many landlords prefer working through a broker. Using a broker increases your chances to find the perfect space, while also removing many of the headaches you would otherwise run into.
This greatly depends on your company’s borrowing power and if your business is in the right position to make this kind of an investment. There are pros and cons to every decision made and this is no exception. Leasing will allow you more control of where your capital and resources are allocated. Buying will mean a decrease in capital but an increase in control of where your business operates. Buying also allows the company to use the asset as an investment in the long run and can generate income by leasing space if the property has available area.
Leasing an apartment or home is simpler because the contract is typically the same: a tenant typically pays a landlord to use their property between one month and eighteen months. A contract with a commercial space can include many other options like tenant improvements, amenities in the office, any desks or equipment included, internet access, utilities used/required, and almost anything else can be included in the negotiations. The leasing term is typically longer with commercial space as well. A broker will provide a lot of value negotiating the terms of the contract.
Real estate brokers are paid through a commission when the deal is closed. This commission is paid for by the landlord or seller and at no cost to you. Please keep in mind that not using a broker does not mean you will get a better deal. Instead, the entire commission will go to the landlord or seller’s broker, and you will likely have less negotiating power on your side. Commissions are typically negotiated before the contract is signed and depend on the sale price. Commissions on leases are based on the total rent over the lease term.
Most importantly, find a broker that has local knowledge and experience. Make sure to find someone that you can trust and that has your best interests in mind. Certifications can be a good indicator of how well a broker knows the industry, along with their track record. A broker with more clients and experience means he or she is trusted and has negotiated quality deals that have benefitted their clients in the past. If a broker is high-quality, their previous work and testimonials should not be hard to find. In fact, they should be on display.
Yes, consider how much money will be spent in total on your deal and make sure you feel confident both personally and legally before you sign anything. As with any contract or other legal document, it’s a good idea to have your attorney review the lease.
There are always going to be positives and negatives for both options. However, commercial real estate’s lease terms are usually three to five or more years, so the tenant turnover rate is typically lower. Turnover can be one of the priciest expenses for landlords.
When looking at the basics, there is not much of a difference. A commercial real estate agent, or broker, specializes in buying or selling and leasing commercial space. A residential real estate agent focuses on buying or selling residential real estate. There are no specific laws for a special commercial real estate license, nor any specific legal qualifications for commercial brokers, however a residential real estate agent is not going to know the nuances associated with commercial space. The difference comes in when we look at the specialized aspects of each. A commercial broker should be familiar with valuation, tax treatment, aspects of leasing, management, trends in your local area, and commercial lease negotiations. They also have insider knowledge of the available commercial real estate for sale or lease which a residential agent won’t have.
