Challenge

Established in 1982, Allied Insurance Brokers is a nationwide insurance and risk management solutions company with retail, wholesale and underwriting operations that focus on the complex, difficult to place risks such as in the crane, scaffold, and human services industries. Some two years prior to the expiration of its headquarters lease and faced with costly operating and tax expense pass throughs, they turned to Carrie for help.

Action

Carrie conducted an analysis of the annual operating and tax expenses at the current building and determined why in a single year taxes had increased nearly 70% and operating expenses increased some 8%, and why both had remained high. Armed with this information, she started renewal negotiations at the current building while identifying relocation alternatives and exploring their viability. After leveraging the competitive market and conducting multiple rounds of negotiations, Carrie secured a renewal lease which resolved all of Allied’s corporate real estate issues and protects them in the future.
