GlobeSt.com EXCLUSIVE: H&R Block Lease Takes Year To Do

TAMPA, FL-Colliers Arnold Commercial Real Estate Services Inc. broker James Stuckey feels he earned his commission on an H & R Block office lease transaction that took a year to complete.

It was only a $500,000 deal in a 29,915-sf building for 5,607 sf, but Stuckey had to negotiate with two separate owners to get the transaction completed at the New Port Richey Financial Center, 4821 US 19 North in New Port Richey, just north of Tampa.

“We entered into negotiations with the landlord, just as the property was being marketed for sale,” Stuckey tells GlobeSt.com. “We came to business terms with the first owner, and then had to renegotiate with the new owner.”
