Marketing Services
Goodman Real Estate Services Group works with owners to lease, sell, and position retail properties to achieve higher performance. Our size and market activity gives us a clear view of what is working, who is expanding, and where pricing is moving, so every assignment is grounded in real conditions, not assumptions.
How We Approach Every Property
We are involved across the full lifecycle marketing and leasing process of an asset, focusing on positioning, performance, and execution:
- Leasing up stabilized and redevelopment assets
- Repositioning underperforming properties
- Preparing assets for sale
- Aligning strategy with real-time market activity
Leasing & Sales Strategy
We take a unified approach to leasing and sales because both are driven by the same core factor, current market demand. Whether we are improving a property’s income stream or bringing it to market for sale, the focus is on positioning it correctly and executing against real activity. Our experience representing the tenant/buyer’s side has given us the knowledge of the user we are looking for and with whom we will negotiate.
- Identify opportunities to improve income, tenant mix, and overall positioning
- Target tenants and buyers who are actively expanding or investing in the market
- Match pricing and leasing strategy to current demand trends and real transactions
- Run focused outreach to qualified tenant and investor groups to drive competitive results
Development & Project Support
- Site planning and tenant mix recommendations
- Layout, access, and parking considerations
- Financial assumptions grounded in real leasing activity
- Support in structuring and negotiating deals
- Guidance through municipal approvals and planning
Market Reach, Experience & Insight
Our platform includes …
- Over 15.5+ million SF currently listed across shopping centers, surplus properties, new developments, and acres of vacant land
- 9.3+ million SF successfully pre-leased across multiple retail formats
- Direct exposure to tenant demand, investor activity, and market pricing
This scale provides constant visibility into what tenants are doing, where capital is moving, and how deals are getting done. Since we are active in both leasing and sales with tenants and buyers, we see the market in real time from multiple angles. That insight directly improves how we position assets, structure deals, and execute marketing strategies.
