Benefits of a Tenant-Focused Commercial Real Estate Firm

Oliver CRE excels at creative problem-solving. Our team can accommodate any size business looking to optimize space and cost efficiencies with maximum returns. We provide unparalleled tenant representation in office, industrial, and retail locations. Our portfolio management and lease administration give your business a competitive advantage while you work with a partner invested in long-term relationships. Through strategic cooperation in both commercial tenant representation and buyer/user representation, we guarantee solutions that exceed expectations.

When your real estate agent focuses only on your needs as a tenant, you can be assured that they’re concerned only with how the end results affect you. You’ll never have to worry about them (or others in their brokerage) representing the landlord, too.

Tenant representatives traditionally receive a fee not from you but from the landlord.

In addition to not risking a dual agency scenario, tenant representation brokers focus solely on you rather than attempting to get the landlord as a client. Dual agents may view landlords as a better, sustainable source of business.  From tenant reps, you receive their full, undivided attention, experience, and expertise to ensure you’re treated fairly and walk away with equally just terms.

Hiring an independent commercial real estate company to assist your organization with multiple transactions allows you to tap into the best experts in each market. Independent brokers can work with any advisor in each market rather than being motivated to work with the same office in each market. Instead, they can work with the best broker for each transaction. This gives you the peace of mind that you’re always working with expert professionals who know your local landscape and ensure a smooth process.

Each phase of the commercial real estate strategy is crucial—and so is each phase of the tenant representation process. Your broker’s expertise offers full support from beginning to end. A tenant advisor is well versed in what matters to tenants and, therefore, enters negotiations aware of these issues. A tenant-focused firm is also well versed in the lease terms that most often affect tenants and will work to structure them in the best way to protect you from unforeseen liabilities and price increases and protect you in ways a general practitioner or landlord’s agent would not.

The entire commercial real estate transaction process invariably involves multiple players. At times, your tenant rep firm may bring additional advisors to the table that, like them, do not have conflicts of interest or existing relationships with landlords that could materially harm the proposed transaction. Your commercial real estate broker will also coordinate a team of:

  • Lawyers
  • Architects
  • Contractors
  • Designers
  • Move managers

Business doesn’t stop when you’re in the middle of a commercial real estate transaction.  Tenant-focused brokers allow you to remain focused on your daily responsibilities and big-picture goals; let your real estate advisors worry about the transaction details.

Years of experience means commercial real estate experts have more access to a vast network of connections, like listings, resources, tools, and data. These ever-growing networks only support your transaction to ensure you have the resources you need to feel confident at each step of the process.
