Any dentist contemplating practice ownership should have an experienced group of dental-specific professionals on his/her team.
Dentists, have an experienced team of proven dental-specific professionals on your team before entering into a lease. Don’t “wing it” – it’s a huge investment – do it right from day one!
Let’s be clear and complete about what and who is needed before entering into a dental lease. Any dentist contemplating practice ownership should have an experienced group of dental-specific professionals on his/her team i.e., Banker, CPA, Real Estate Broker, Construction Contractor, Attorney, Architect, Space Planner, Equipment and Furniture supplier, Technologist, and so on.
Factors for Consideration in Addressing the Function of the Dental Real Estate Broker:
- Locate Space that is viable within the local market that conforms to the dentist’s specifications. Different specialties within the dental practitioner’s framework will dictate what type of location will be the most profitable for the dental tenant.
- Make lifestyle choices. Study the key area Demographics. Once favorable demographics have been determined, study the location characteristics within the determined demographic area.
- Pinpointing the ideal location to maximize market opportunity is the first step in establishing a thriving practice. Location is a key factor in profitability.
Some real estate brokers include location finding in their services, some don’t. Sometimes, the prospective dental tenant will choose his or her location, and after careful scrutiny by the help of a seasoned tenant broker, may rethink the choice and end up in a location that was even better than the initial location choice.

It is the job of the commercial real estate broker to negotiate tenant-protective stipulations throughout the entire business function of the dental lease.
Attorneys, by and large, do not negotiate for protective business stipulations, as their role is to review the lease for validity and enforceability.
Dental tenants need both types of representation in a lease – business and legal.
Selection of the type of real estate services is up to each individual tenant.
Some want two, three, or even four providers during the real estate procurement process.
Here’s what real estate law has to say about that thought process: If a tenant does not appoint, in writing, an exclusive real estate broker for representation during the real estate procurement process, the tenant has no real estate representation and does not have the protections of a fiduciary relationship with an appointed broker.
With no written exclusive tenant-representative appointment, any and all real estate representatives’ fiduciary responsibilities are to the landlord.
That’s why it’s so critical for any tenant to have Exclusive real estate brokerage representation, especially the dental tenant who needs a much higher level of business protection within the lease.
