Tenant Representation

We understand the importance of finding the perfect commercial space for your business. That is why we offer a comprehensive consultation that encompasses everything from the initial needs assessment to discussing the pros and cons of the leasing process. Whether you are a startup seeking your first office space or an established business looking to expand your operations, we provide tailored communication, service, and expertise that you deserve.

During the consultation, we will ask probing questions that help us gain a thorough understanding of your needs and goals. We take into account your business size, industry, budget, and growth projections to create a leasing strategy that meets your requirements. Our team helps identify potential limitations, expectations, and experiences you may have with commercial leases, and we provide leasing cheat sheets and examples of your desired property to facilitate your decision-making process.

Prior to touring any property, we review the tenant representation agreement with you and have you sign it to ensure you have the protections and fiduciary responsibility you need. Our tenant representation agreement also ensures that we act solely in your best interest and provide you with unbiased advice.

We understand that finding the perfect commercial space is only half the battle. Negotiating the terms of the lease can be just as important in ensuring that you get the best possible deal for your business. That's why we offer our expert leasing negotiation services to help you get the terms you need to succeed.

Once you have identified your ideal space, we will work with you to develop a customized Letter of Intent (LOI) that meets your needs and goals. Our team will review market data to ensure that the pricing of the space is correct and submit the LOI on your behalf. Our goal is to make sure that the LOI accurately reflects your business requirements and secures the best possible terms for you.

Using the LOI as a starting point, we will negotiate with the landlord and/or their representative to reach fair and equitable terms that both parties are happy with. Our team of experts has years of experience in commercial leasing and will use our expertise to ensure that you receive the most favorable terms possible.

Once an agreement has been reached, we will assist you with any necessary business or property due diligence to ensure that you have all the information you need before signing the lease. We understand that the leasing process can be complex and confusing, so we are here to guide you through every step of the way.

We believe that a well-negotiated lease agreement is critical to the long-term success of your business. That's why we provide comprehensive guidance to our clients as they review and negotiate the legally binding lease agreement. Our team will work with you to ensure that you fully understand all of the terms and conditions of the lease, including any additional items that may have been negotiated beyond the LOI.

Some of the additional items that may be negotiated include an HVAC cap, yearly escalations, common area costs, maintenance items, tenant improvement allowances, and specific lease clauses. Our team of experts will work with you to ensure that these items are clearly defined in the lease agreement and that they reflect your business needs and goals. We will also review all of the legal language in the lease agreement to make sure that you fully understand your rights and obligations.

Our goal is to ensure that you have a complete understanding of the lease agreement before you sign on the dotted line. We will provide you with guidance and advice throughout the negotiation process, and we will be there to support you as you make this important business decision. When you work with The Gaulden Group, you can trust that you are getting the best possible lease agreement for your business.
