Tenant Representation

What is Tenant Representation?

Tenant representation for commercial real estate is similar to what is often referred to as buyer representation in residential real estate. 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 can be a daunting task for an individual or company to endure. This also applies to established businesses looking to expand or consolidate their operations in a given area. With the aid of a qualified broker, tenant representation services allow the client to achieve the best results concerning a lease or purchase. This service does not cost the purchaser any commission or associated fees as they are paid by the landlord or seller performing the service.

When your organization is considering an expansion, relocation, site for future use, built-to-suit, investment, purchase, or a lease, it is critical to your bottom line to have an advocate ensure that every phase of the transaction is handled to your advantage. As your advocate, Crye-Leike Commercial is dedicated to obtaining the optimum space for your current and future needs. We will obtain that space or site at the best economic terms and contractual flexibility available in a sales/lease agreement.
