Tenant Representation FAQ
Tenant Representation is a partnership between a tenant and a commercial real estate broker where the broker works exclusively for the tenant; providing market expertise, site selection, financial analysis and deal negotiation.
Tenant Representation brokers assist tenants in determining the best location to open a business or expand an existing business by analyzing many factors including demographics, co-tenancy, and property condition. Once a property is located the broker will prepare, present and negotiate offers on the tenant’s behalf. Think of the broker as an extension of your business team.
The tenant representation process begins with the tenant reviewing their current locations, if any, then choosing one or more desired new markets, and determining site criteria and budget for their new locations. Once the Tenant’s criteria are clarified a commercial real estate broker will begin researching that market to determine competition, available spaces, pricing, amenities offered, and more. When all available locations have been qualified based on the tenant’s criteria the broker will present them to the client for review. After a location is agreed upon the negotiation process begins, often with a Letter of Intent to Lease. When the landlord and tenant have agreed on all terms, a lease can be drafted and finally executed.
A tenant representation agreement is a written document between a tenant and a commercial real estate broker that solidifies a partnership in which the broker will work in the client’s best interest in locating real estate and the broker has the reassurance that the client is committed to working solely with them in locating new properties.
