Tenant representation fees are generally paid by landlords at market-rate commissions, only upon the successful completion of a lease or sale. This allows tenants to benefit from expert guidance without upfront costs or hourly fees. Our compensation structure ensures we are solely focused on securing the best terms for our clients—the tenants—not the landlords. Additionally, our fees are consistent across all property options, eliminating bias and ensuring we prioritize finding the best space to meet our clients’ needs.
In contrast, a landlord’s broker with multiple listings may be inclined to promote their own properties, as securing both sides of the deal through dual agency increases their commission. However, their fiduciary duty remains first and foremost to the building owner—not the tenant.
