Weighing the Options

When Mack Kim’s lease was about to expire, the owner of Beauty Spot Cosmetics and Beauty Supply wasn’t sure whether he should renew his lease, find a new location to rent, or purchase a building of his own. So he contacted Jim Porth and Sarah Grabinski of the Thomas Duke Company to help him do a cost-benefit analysis of each option.

With their network of relationships in the community, Jim and Sarah were able to:

  • Help Mr. Kim decide to purchase a building
  • Find a property not publicly for sale that fit all his needs
  • Match him with a lender and assist him with the SBA process
  • Ease the transition for the seller and current tenant by negotiating a lease that provides Mr. Kim with rental income during the transition period.

Mr. Kim is excited to re-open Beauty Spot in his very own building at 4864 Washtenaw this fall.
