A Tenant representative, often known as a tenant rep, is a commercial real estate expert who only works for the tenant. It differs from traditional real estate brokers, who act as landlords and tenants' agents (and thus have an inherent conflict of interest).

Before you appoint a tenant representative, you need to have a fundamental grasp of what they do:

A tenant representative's primary responsibility is to assess your situation and determine whether you should stay or depart. You have the option of waiting or weighing your options to see if your company is ready to relocate.

A commercial real estate professional working solely on a tenant is an Office Tenant Representative. Retail tenant representation works in the best interests of the tenants, not always the property owner.

Industrial Tenant Representation is needed when an industrial tenant is looking for specific leasing space and requires an agency to represent the landlord and negotiate the best terms on their behalf. The renter also seeks representation to get market information and negotiation abilities comparable to the landlord. The real estate broker (industrial tenant agent) must know the tenant's size, inventory demands, and quick availability to identify the proper location.

Brokerage services, reactive maintenance, real estate development, and property management are all areas where Commercial Realty Advisors excels.
