How often do you move offices or sign commercial leases? Probably not often enough to be an expert. That's where tenant representatives come in. We're experts at finding spaces and negotiating leases because it's our day job.
A tenant representative works for you – the tenant. Assisting you to secure a new space for your business or renew an existing one. We work with you to understand the needs of your business, then source and negotiate the best deal possible; freeing you up to get on with what you do best.
Top 5 reasons tenant reps make sense:
We understand your business. Before you even tour a space, a tenant rep gains a sound understanding of your business, operations, and strategy, to best ascertain your needs now and throughout the term of the lease.
You see the whole market. A tenant rep has access to a range of data sources and market intel. They know when leases are due to expire, who is moving and what developments are underway.
A smooth and efficient process. Finding a space is time-consuming, with research, visits, analysis, negotiations and legals on multiple sites. A tenant rep takes care of the work so all you need to do is tour the most suitable spaces, decide and sign.
Specialised negotiation. Commercial real estate negotiations can be complex and jargon filled, so don’t be at a disadvantage. Engaging a tenant rep restores the balance of power with the landlord and ensure you negotiate the right lease terms for your business.
A long-term relationship. Good tenant reps don't disappear once the lease is signed. They'll help you take the next steps on the path to your new space and be available for friendly advice over the course of your lease. And should your needs change, your Tenant Rep can help you negotiate the best outcome on your existing space.
At Franklin Shanks our mantra is, ‘Buildings may be brokered; Our clients are represented’. We are proudly independent advisors, meaning we don't get paid by landlords to broker their spaces. With no conflicts of interest, we prioritise your business above all else: securing you the right space on the right terms, every time.
