Who is a tenant representative?
Finding the right location for your business is critical and that's where our tenant representation broker can help. A tenant representative, also known as a tenant rep, is a commercial real estate agent that represents the tenant instead of the landlord in the selection and negotiation of commercial properties. Businesses searching for commercial real estate space on their own may lack the time, focus and resources to find the best office space in Seattle. A tenant rep has the expertise and knowledge to ensure a successful transaction to meet your business goals.

Commercial Lease Renewal
In most cases, commercial lease renewal can be the best decision to ensure continuity and to minimize disruptions for your business and employees.
Yet, some considerations for you to make an intelligent decision are:
- Do you know if your office lease rates are competitive?
- Are you aware of any better office space in the Seattle market?
- Are you able to negotiate a more competitive agreement with your landlord?
- How do you reduce/increase the amount of space you require?
