What do I do if I want to buy or lease property?

First of all, I’d contact an experienced and knowledgeable broker in the specific area where you’re focused on. That broker can start you from an initial needs assessment all the way through site selection, financing, negotiation whether it’s a lease or a buy, the financing scenario, as well as even post-move logistics. To start to search we recommend usually 6 months to a year before your lease expiration because of the time it takes to either build out, finance or close a transaction.
