Steve was tremendous as a broker. I had a very long process to solidify my commercial lease and Steve was with me every step of the way providing both insight and advice. This was my first time executing a commercial lease and I do not believe that I would have been able to do it without the continued support form Steve.His work ethic is fantastic and I do not believe I went more than one hour without receiving a response if I had a question about anything; you can always count on Steve. I am very confident recommending Steve and Shire Commercial Real Estate to anyone who is looking for a great commercial real estate representative.- Chris

Steve Shire really came through for me and my company on finding a nice office in this extremely hot real estate market. He was always available to show property and was very knowledgeable of the Austin area. If it wasn't for Steve being so responsive I know that we wouldn't have found our perfect office for us. In this type of market you need someone like Steve to get in there and close the deal quickly. THANKS STEVE!

Steve Shire was instrumental in finding us the space we needed. He is direct and professional. We never had to guess what he was thinking and more importantly he listened to our needs and found us the perfect downtown location. I would recommend Steve to anyone looking for commercial space! Thanks Steve!

This review is long overdue (could not figure out how to leave a Google review for the life of me), but Steve Shire is the best in the business. My small company and I were looking to move into a larger location - our business is pretty unique and had specific requirements in terms of how the rooms had to be arranged. Steve made multiple visits to our old location to get a good grasp of what we wanted, then proceeded to find 20-30 listings that we might be interested in. After we expressed interest in 4-5, he showed us each location based on our schedule, kept us informed throughout the entire process, and really just provided absolutely pristine communication the whole time. If we ever need to find another location in Austin, Steve Shire will be the first person I contact. You can not go wrong with him - thanks so much Steve for helping our young business grow and for the efficient, painless process of finding a new home.

I’m a health care professional and decided I was done leasing and paying other people’s mortgages. I chose Steve because many others had written very positive reviews about his knowledge of property in the area, his approachable nature, his impeccable communication skills (that really come in handy when putting out inevitable fires during this process), and his willingness to teach. I’ve learned that Steve’s reputation is well earned. The only quality that was left out in those reviews that needs to be highlighted based on my experiences is his integrity. I just closed on my office condo today and want to let others know how wonderful this process can be with someone like Steve by your side. I highly recommend first time buyers to choose Steve because he knows what he’s doing and will make you feel supported and less “lost” during the process. Seasoned investors are also encouraged to take advantage of his 10+ years in the industry and willingness to go the extra mile and think outside the box in order to get your needs met. Thank you so much, Steve!

STATE OF THE AUSTIN OFFICE SPACE MARKET

The Austin office space market continues to move at a very fast pace. The most desirable office spaces are often seeing two or more tenants bidding against each other to get the space. This competition is most prevalent on office spaces with high-end creative finishes and good subleases.

Landlords are taking advantage of higher demand for Austin office space and will be asking for longer lease terms in general. Fewer buildings will consider a lease term shorter than 3 years without asking for a $1.00-3.00 per square foot premium on their quoted rates. Short term subleases can also be hard to find, if you are a start-up company your options will be more limited if you require a short term lease.

We predict rates to be static to down some for the remainder of 2017 as demand may flatten while construction prices will stay high. We suggest that our clients start their Austin office space search and negotiation 90 days out to get the best results in this competitive environment. We are starting to see more sub-leases come onto the market as a potential sign of market softening as well as companies consolidating.

If your office lease is expiring within the next 90 days, it is time to start actively making plans. Feel free to call us to discuss your unique situation over the phone and we can help you map out the appropriate timeline for your new office search or rent negotiation.

I utilized Steve Shire to find two different spaces for my businesses, I could not believe I got great research and negotiations without a hitch, it was much more than I expected.

Incredible Experience! Working with Steve Shire is one of the most important and great experiences of my professional life. I engaged him to help me find the ‘location, location, location’ for my new veterinary hospital here in Austin; and HE DID! Within less than 14 days he presented me with a host of commercially available and productive possibilities. I chose one that was the best fit for me. He advocated for my best interest in negotiating the lease and he mentored me through the entire process. I highly recommend his professional expertise and genuine desire to find the best place for your business dream and success!

Steve L HarrisDVM – http://austinveterinarycenter.com

Steve was very responsive and always there to answer questions and address concerns. Having never leased a commercial space, Steve was able to provide the guidance and education we needed to make the right decision. Not only did he help us find the perfect property, he also helped guide us through a better understanding of our lease agreement. I would definitely recommend Steve to help you find your next commercial property.

Steve, On behalf of Metric Loop, I wanted to reach out to you and say “thanks”!! We really appreciate the help and the quick responses. I think you helped us find a really good deal and we did it really fast. Thanks again and have a great week!

Metric Loop Services – https://metricloop.com/

After realizing that locating and leasing commercial property on my own was not going to be easy or fruitful I was lucky enough to contact Steve. From start to finish the process was thorough, thoughtful, artfully explained and managed. Steve is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. He quickly understood what we needed, showed us appropriate properties and got us through the process intelligently. His communication skills are excellent and timely. Also and maybe equally important Steve has been there for us in the weeks since we signed the lease and moved to aid and advise us with issues and questions. I highly recommend Steve.
