Lubbock Real Estate
It's that time again ... to find a new home for my business. Our lease is coming up for expiration, and the new landlord want us out, and quite frankly, we want out as well. We've been clashing over parking, doors, decorations, signage, security systems, and fire codes since they moved in.Yesterday I started calling around Lubbock to see about other commercial properties which we might be interested in, and came across a quandary for us. We've never had retail frontage, because most of what we do requires that we be working without significant outside interruption, and walk-ins create external interruption. This implies office space, much like an attorney or a CPA might use. However, retail frontage would certainly improve our exposure, depending on where we are located at, and could be worth some extra $$$'s per foot to have the exposure and signage.
I met yesterday with Kay Ward, a realtor at Westmark Realtors, who showed me some space at a nearby office / retail complex, and although the building would be fine for our usage, the price was a little higher than we've been paying, and it's also next door to a new competitor in the area. [Side note: At the competitors new offices, which appeared to consist of 3 desks constructed for 2x4's and plywood, there were several interns milling about, who explained that they were a "full service marketing and advertising" company, but couldn't give any more information than that, as they were waiting for their bosses to get back from lunch and tell them what to do.]
Today, I'm hoping to get to tour some of Lubbock with Michael Lamberts, who appears to have several properties which might be potential new homes for us in the very near future.
