5 REASONS TO HIRE A TENANT REPRESENTATIVE
Apearing on The Broker List. This post originally appeared on Tenant Rep LA’s Blog and is republished with permission.
One of the first questions I get from a client prospect is
“how much do you charge?”
I explain that my brokerage doesn’t charge the client
anything…we participate in the commission paid by the landlord…then I hear a
big sigh of relief “Phew”
- The landlord is more apt to return calls to
the tenant rep than if you try and call them directly. A busy tenant rep will
know all the landlords and their brokers and chances are be working on another
deal with them. - Tenant reps have all the resources to find you
the perfect office space including complete listings, off-market options and
industry relationships. They will take the time to look through all and only
send you options that best suit your needs. - Look for a firm and broker who exclusively represents tenants and
understands your industry. They are only working for you and there’s never
a conflict of interest. - Leasing commercial space can be
complicated and negotiations can become lengthy. The tenant rep is your advocate
and will be by your side for the entire process. - Tenant reps know the market and
will analyze all available options, so you’ll never overpay.
