Much like “Buyer Representation” in residential real estate, Tenant Representation for commercial real estate means the agent does not have a listing of a given property, but represents the client or buyer, to identify and show those properties of interest. The purchase or leasing of commercial property for a buyer can be a daunting task for the individual or company who is new to the market or desires to expand or consolidate their operations in a given area. With the aid of a qualified broker, tenant representation affords the client the means to achieve the best results for a lease or purchase, and most importantly at no cost to the user or purchaser. Commission and fees are paid by the landlord or seller for performing the service.

It is important to have a real grasp of why or how much new space or locations are needed as well as the cost expectations currently in the market. Business and technology trends should be incorporated into the search, as well as the understanding of requirements for future growth needs.
Identify the strategy and fundamental steps to be followed to best serve client needs. This includes establishing the basis of a good relationship, the responsibilities of the parties, the ultimate goal and the necessity to work together as a team.
The decision to purchase or lease can be difficult as it is often confusing, time consuming, lacks economic certainty, and is often not undertaken in a methodical, rational approach. Defining the needs, long and short term, can establish a favorable economic and operational impact on the client’s long term goals. BRG’s brokers’ extensive knowledge of the market place can help define those needs for the firm or individual.
A needs analysis, from physical surroundings, amenities, space and site utilization to financial considerations will be reviewed. The preparation of proposals will be sent to select properties, followed by a thorough analysis and comparison. When selections are made, final negotiations of a purchase or lease are submitted for client approval.
