Physicians and Dentists are Too Trusting

Medical, Dental & Healthcare

When it comes to leasing space, or buying commercial real estate, healthcare professionals are especially vulnerable to exploitation at the hands of landlords, property managers and the agents that market their buildings for lease or sale.

I surmise that the reasons for this are two-fold: First, because real estate decisions are typically made every three to five years, and few healthcare providers can devote adequate time to becoming proficient at a task that occurs so infrequently. Second, people in the healing professions are perceived as being too trusting, and unlikely to question the business terms of a lease or the motivations and qualifications of the people they typically turn to for real estate advice... and that leads to overpaying.

I’ve written an article titled “Healthcare Professionals: Essential Insights When Leasing or Buying Office Space”, which is intended to help doctors, dentists and other healthcare providers make better-informed real estate decisions. It’s available free of charge by clicking on the link above.

In closing, I urge all medical and dental professionals to heed their own advice and schedule annual real estate checkups with a professional that specializes in protecting their interests, not the landlord’s.
