Tenant Representation

Space Analysis

We can help determine your approximate space requirement, such as reception area, conference rooms, private offices and storage space. By using a head count, we plan the layout by job title.

The Search
Often the most time-consuming aspect of finding space is locating and sifting through all of the available options. We locate buildings that meet your size, economic and geographic criteria and schedule showings at each of them. We find alternatives and use them to your advantage. We do the legwork by collecting all the information and negotiating the lowest possible rental rate.

Lease Analysis
Tenants are frequently unaware of the complexities of comparing different properties. To complicate it further, landlords frequently use terms differently. BonnE Commercial Real Estate Services will help you analyze individual properties so they can be directly and fairly compared to each other. Our market analysis and cost comparison analysis breaks down each building's total lease costs by operating expense, taxes, utilities, build-out costs and landlord profits. This breakdown can be done on each building monthly and yearly, and provide the total lease cost. Our clients easily and accurately compare buildings meeting their criteria. The Bottom Line is you can see the real cost of each building alternative.

Negotiating
It takes time and effort to collect more information - and of a better quality - than the competition. We negotiate effectively because we do our homework. We negotiate knowing both tenants' costs and landlords' profits.

Coordinating the Move
To assure your space is completed as contracted, we attend construction meetings during build-out, as well as during the final walk through. We also assist clients in coordinating movers, telephone installers and furniture vendors.

Why Use a Broker?
Renewals are generally a landlords' most profitable transaction. When tenants move, costs of constructing the new space are built into the lease as part of the rent.  Although most lease renewals involve little or no construction, rarely do landlords offer rates that truly reflect the reduced cost.  Real estate is an investment. Landlords hire professional leasing agents to negotiate the highest return for their building.

If the agent for the building can sign a tenant at a higher rate, they will. It improves the landlord's bottom line and the broker's commission.

A key to negotiation is competition. A tenant who renews without a broker says, in effect, that no other buildings are even being considered. There is absolutely no motivation for that landlord to be competitive.

Brokers Fee
In most cases, building owners hire leasing agents to find tenants for their building. In return, the owner agrees to pay them a commission. Because leasing agents depend on outside brokers for most of their tenant leads, they usually agree to split commissions with cooperating brokers. Real Estate law simply requires tenant representatives to notify the owner, or their agent, that they are representing the tenant in the transaction. The landlord typically pays our fees. The landlord also pays the leasing agent, and the commission is split between us. If a broker is not involved in the transaction, the building agent still receives a full commission.
