What Does a Tenant Rep Broker Do?
A tenant advisory does just that—advises. They wear a lot of hats, which ultimately helps you with your time management. The main reason a company will decide to hire one of these agents is if they want a smooth leasing process. They can help your company decided whether to relocate or renew your lease, get you the best deal, and answer any questions regarding your lease agreement.
Our agents are experts on negotiating so that your company feels secure in their assets. Here are a couple of questions that you can ask your tenant rep about expanding your business:
– Should I renew or relocate?
– How do I find the right space?
– What is the best market for my expanding business?
– Which properties have the best parking and amenities?
– Are there any out-of-pocket fees?
