They can go into specifics of how they get paid. \n\nTechnically, Tenant Rep's are paid by the landlord, but the arrangement is they split the commission with the LL's broker. The LL's broker knows he'll be splitting the commission with the eventual Tenant Rep, and is looking to get the best deal they can. Tenant Reps have the Tenant as a client, and are looking at multiple sites/spaces with many different landlords. They work in your best interest because if not, you fire them. \n", "replies": [{"id": "dpn1dd8", "text": "In Texas (and I imagine elsewhere) your broker is a fiduciary.

We own a couple dozed commercial buildings. My first question of a potential tenant is if they are working with a broker. If they are, I just quote them 5% higher than if they weren't. technically I pay the broker but really I'm passing that along to you. I don't think most realtors bring a lot to the table on the commercial side. most of them are not commercial specialists anyways. My suggestion would be to not use a broker but then have an experienced CRE attorney go over your lease with you. ", "replies": [{"id": "dpni3qi", "text": "Excellent point. Juice a represented tenant 5% and an unrepresented 20%. Cause really what difference is it to you? Commercial Real Estate attorney's only negotiate legal items in a lease, tenant reps negotiate the business points.

You get paid a percentage of the total lease amount, there is zero incentive to negotiate a cheap rate. You look at 5 different spaces and you can gauge market rate. Unless we're taking about large corporate leases with complicated structures and TI, it's all pretty straight forward.

Who is showing you available space in the market? The attorney sure as hell isn't, so are you, the tenant, spending your day driving around calling off of signs? Not sure how large of a market you work in, but, in the market I'm in, LL's not paying procuring brokers (tenant reps) are avoided at all costs. Maybe you have an advantage when the vacancy rate is low, but we all know the market is cyclical and when it turns, why would I ever bring you business. Broker's don't bring much to the table? They are bringing you 5-10 years of cash flow via a tenant.\n\nAlso, the incentive to negotiate a cheap rate is to earn that tenant's business again. I'd much rather save my client money and represent him again when the time comes then have the rental rate a couple cents higher than what I could get it down to.\n\n$34.20/FS on 5,000 SF for 60 months and my fee is $25,650 assuming 3%\n$36.00/FS on 5,000 SF for 60 months and my fee is $27,000 assuming 3%\n\nI'd rather establish a good relationship and save my client money, do their deal again in 5 years and make another 25k then make an extra couple thousand and hope I represent them again.", "replies": [], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}]
