Jason Hughes has been extremely influential in the real property industry for at least the past 20 years. Hughes actually initiated and helped create California legislation that affects tenant representation, called the Dual Agency Disclosure Bill or SB 1171. The Governor signed the bill into law in 2014. The law increases transparency when an agent represents both parties in a commercial tenancy transaction. It specifically requires the broker who represents both the tenant and the landlord to inform clients of this potential conflict of interest in representation.
He has also personally negotiated some of the largest lease transactions in California. His experience extends to virtually all things lease negotiations, including build-to-suit developments, expansions, loan structuring, and project financing. He also assists with corporate purchases as well as general contract negotiations. He has experience with lease accounting and auditing, construction management (including planning and design), as well as physical distancing analysis and culture consulting.
Hughes and his wife, Shay, are both market leaders in commercial buyer representation and tenant representation. They pride themselves on providing services specifically tailored to their clients. Services go far beyond the traditional surface-level representation. They consistently provide service and results guarantees in all of their customer relationships.
