BY REBECCA SAN JUAN JANUARY 31, 2020 07:00 AM Are brick-and-mortar stores on the brink of extinction in South Florida? No, but bad retail is, said Beth Azor of the Weston-based Azor Advisory Services. Retail vacancy rates in Miami are at 6.4%, lower than the national average of 10%. As shops and malls across the country shutter, local luxury shopping centers report an uptick in sales and continue to grow, according to a…

Always Be Curious, Always Be Opening

November 6, 2019
Bethazor

This whole theory of “Always Be Closing” is awful in our world today. That might have worked in Glengarry Glen Ross in the 1950s. That does not work in 2019 for a myriad of reasons. In fact, my acronym of A-B-C is “always be canvasing” or A-B-C, “always be curious!” The power of being curious is that you're gathering information. Remember, this is like matchmaking. You have a service and…

Time Management Tips from Beth Azor

October 23, 2019
Bethazor

“How do you manage your time?” That is probably the question I am most asked during my bootcamps, workshops, and during individual coaching sessions. My guess is, that since I’m constantly giving a lot of ideas on how to improve skills and habits, people think, “Maybe she knows how to get more done in a day.”? I’m not an expert in time management by any means but I can provide…

Canvassing and Rejection

September 3, 2019
Bethazor

A lot of people don’t go out canvassing and prospecting because they don’t like rejection. You cannot walk into a Starbucks and say, “I have shopping centers!”. To get Nationals, you have to contact them through email (no MeMail blasts) and find out who their broker is. It’s a different type of strategy. Canvassing is all about “mom and pop” shops. Usually, you get rejected because you walk into their…

Why You Should Have Flyers of Your Properties

August 20, 2019
Bethazor

I often ask people what they take with them while canvassing. Some people answer their business card. Pretend you go into a store and there’s a clerk at his or her desk in the back of the room. You give your business card to the clerk. You’ve given your business card to the gate-keeper. The owner of the business will come in that night to come to check on…

What to Do When You Can’t Lease Space

August 13, 2019

I have a shopping center that sits right outside of the Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise, Florida. I bought it from a note from Bank of America eight years ago. I immediately filled it from 50% to 92%. Should have sold it, but didn't, and then lost Sears Appliance, Vision Works, and a sub guy. I was down to 72% leased and I could NOT lease it: I did a…
