Why Do I Need A Broker?

YOUR INTERESTS NEED TO BE PROTECTED

Would you ask the attorney suing you on behalf of another party to represent your interests as well?  Of course you wouldn’t.  So why would you let the broker representing your landlord, or even another landlord, represent you? Listing brokers have loyalties and fiduciary obligations to their Landlord clients. Don’t fall into the trap of being inadequately represented.

ASK YOURSELF:

LANDLORDS HAVE DISTINCT ADVANTAGES OVER THE AVERAGE TENANT

Landlords are keenly aware

Landlords are keenly aware of which tenants are in the market looking for space, the availability of space in competing properties, and the pricing of competitive transactions. Tenant Guardian can help you level the playing field.

Benefitting the tenant every time

Landlords negotiate leases every day. In contrast, a typical tenant negotiates an office lease once every three to five years. Tenant Guardian negotiates leases every day, benefitting the tenant every time.

Improvement allowances and commissions

Landlords know exactly what their profitability is after factoring debt service, marketing costs, downtime, current demand, as well as transaction costs like free rent, tenant improvement allowances and commissions. Tenant Guardian calculates this in detailed financial analysis and uses this information to the tenants advantage.

Your tenancy is extremely important to any Landlord.

Effectively, tenants pay the landlord’s mortgage. Let us leverage that power for you.

Tenant Guardian will exercise a strategy

Landlords know exactly when your lease, and all of your neighbors’ leases expire. They will not remind you about it. Tenant Guardian will exercise a strategy prior to your lease renewal option notice date, and bring leverage to your side of the negotiating table.
