The tenant representative is an advocate for the tenant in commercial leasing. This puts the tenant on an equal footing at the negotiating table with the landlord or the landlord’s agent.
The tenant representative acts either as the local real estate arm of the client or as a local consultant to a corporate real estate department. In many assignments the tenant representative works with CEO’s, real estate departments, financial officers, human resource personnel, division managers, office managers, and legal counsel to develop, define, prioritize, and strategize space solutions for the client’s business needs.
In addition of advocacy, tenant representatives offer clearly valued and definable benefits to their clients
