Landlord brokers have a built-in financial incentive for tenants to remain unrepresented because if no tenant broker is involved, their commission nearly doubles. And no matter what, their fiduciary duty always lies with the landlord, the party paying their fee.
By contrast, tenant representation fees are generally paid by landlords at standard market commissions but only upon the successful completion of a lease or sale. This means tenants receive expert guidance without any 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.
Unlike landlord brokers who may steer tenants toward their own listings to maximize their commission through dual agency, tenant-only brokers never represent landlords. We are paid the same regardless of which property is chosen, eliminating bias and ensuring our sole priority is finding the right space and negotiating the most favorable terms for the tenant.
