Typically, tenant representation services are provided at no direct cost to the tenant. In most commercial real estate transactions, the landlord pays commission fees to both the listing agent and the tenant's representative upon the successful negotiation and signing of a lease. This arrangement allows tenants to benefit from professional representation without adding to their leasing expenses. We are totally transparent about our fee structure and any potential costs from the outset.
