Commercial Real Estate Acronyms From CBA Seattle Commercial Real Estate Listings

I love deciphering the code in Seattle real estate listings, but never as much as I enjoy when I comb through commercial property listings in CBA - CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) is the local Seattle area commercial real estate "MLS" for Seattle commercial real estate properties - both for lease and for sale. Our office has Seattle real estate brokers who specialize and work in both residential and commercial real estate around Seattle so it is always interesting to listen to the different lingos between the Seattle commercial brokers and the Seattle real estate brokers.

PSF=Per Square Foot

SF= Square Foot

TI = Tenant Improvement (also TIs are Tenant Improvements)

REO = Real Estate Owned as in Seattle Commercial Foreclosures/ Seattle Commercial REO Properties (Seattle Commercial Distressed Properties

ADA = Americans With Disabilities

TIC = Tenants In Common

PITI = Principal, Interest, Taxes, Insurance

NDA = Non Disclosure Agreement

CAM = Common Area Maintenance as in CAM Charges

POF = Proof Of Funds

OER = Operating Expense Ratio

COO = Certificate of Occupancy

PV = Present Value

NPV = Net Present Value

FV = Future Value

BOMA = Building Owners & Managers Association

Obviously there are more, but I always find it interesting to note each industry's acronyms. If you need help buying or selling Seattle commercial property, please feel free to get in touch with us. Cooper Jacobs Real Estate has Commercial Real Estate Brokers ready to help you in whatever Seattle neighborhood or Seattle suburb you are interested in.

My Favorite Happy Hour Spots after work in Downtown Seattle

After working a long day at ActiveRain getting Real Estate folks to embrace the new way to get business through blogging their great ideas and experiences on the net, my mouth is usually parched from talking so much! So the first thing that comes to mind is where I can get some cheap quality drinks and cheaper quality food at cheap prices. Did mention that I didn't want to spend much money? Hahahaha! Darn tootin'!

So I usually head down to the Coutour on First Ave and park somewhere on Western Ave to avoid all the crazy traffic. The bar is usually half full when I get there, but fills up by the time dinner rolls around which is usually my cue to head home to the Ponderosa. The drink specials are just OK, but the food is off the chain! Where else can you get Lamb Ka Bobs for $4? Or a Gruyere Mac and Cheese dish for $5? My favorite though is the Provolone Cheeseburger for $3! It's relaxing to chill and watch folks bustle by trying to catch a bus or just observing the bums look for their next meal as you sip on your $3 Pilsner Urquell or $2 22 oz. can of Pabst and munch on your cheap eats. One thing though, when you get your $16 bill make sure you tip like a bigtimer. Don't get cheap with the tip or else they will remember you like a jilted elephant!

If I'm feeling like I want to go somewhere a little nicer, but still don't want to spend too much money, then I head down to McCormick and Schmicks for their Happy Hour. Now let me warn you right now. Their drink specials suck! Do not buy drinks here. They are full priced and will blow you bill up at the end. The food is really really good and fresh though. Of course I love their half pound freshly ground steak burger with chipolte mayonaise for $3! I also like the woodsy feel of the place and the Brooks Brothers type folks there all stressed out about their jobs and mortgage payments. There is one drink that is a buck though, the fresh made Irish Coffee's. Yum.

My final fav place to go is Palomino's in the City Centre. Lots of lovely people to observe doing their shopping and looking classy as ever. All I have to say is pizza, pizza, pizza. I love the cheap pizzas you get here and they are so so so flippin good. Fresh ingredients and a wood burning oven to bring north Tuscany to rainy Seattle. The beers are a good price and they give you a whole pounder instead of those thick glasses or mugs that fool you into thinking you have more beverage than you actually do!

Well thats my quick run down of what I like after work from ActiveRain here in Seattle! Peace out!

A Glorious Seattle Day

Today is a blustery day in Seattle. It is raining that soft misty rain that leaves your face dewy when you step out of it and into the warm confines of a shop.

I decided to brave the elements and go on a downtown Seattle walk about. What a magical experience it was! I headed up to 5th and Pine where Macy's, Barney's and Nordstrom had people putting up their elaborate Christmas displays. Christmas music was playing as I wandered in and out of shops. Much to my surprise, there was no angst or indignation about the premature marketing ploys I was so apparently surrounded by. No, today, there was a sense of joy and hope, that we are making it through some tough times and maybe even seeing the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.

I ended my journey at Pike Place Market, amazed at how different it is on a weekday. You can see things you never noticed when you don't have to serpentine through crowds. I stopped at a place for some fresh produce and was assisted by a very congenial young man. As he bagged my beautiful apples, pears, grapes and kale, he asked if I lived near by. I explained that I did indeed, but usually shop the outside vendors to avoid weekend crowds. He looked me square in the eye and put out his hand. "My name is Nick, What's your name?" I told Nick my name, shaking his hand as he continued. "I would be honored if you would do your shopping here with us Judi" he concluded. It struck me like a lightning bolt! This guy just asked me for my business!

Guess what? I'm taking all my business to:

FRANKS' QUALITY PRODUCE
