Sacramento Tenant Representation

Tenant Only Commercial Real Estate Representation for Office, Medical Office, and Industrial Users

If you’re negotiating a lease renewal, relocation, or purchase in Sacramento, the lease terms you accept today will control your costs and flexibility for years. Shelton & Associates exclusively represents tenants, not landlords, so our advice is conflict free and aligned only with your interests.


We help Sacramento area office, medical office, and industrial businesses reduce total occupancy costs, avoid common lease traps, and negotiate terms that protect their ability to operate, grow, or pivot.


  We represent tenants throughout the greater Sacramento region, including Downtown Sacramento, Midtown, East Sacramento, Natomas, Arden-Arcade, Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove, West Sacramento, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, and Elk Grove. We also assist tenants with multi-location requirements across Northern and Southern California. 

Services in Sacramento

Lease Renewals

Renewals are where tenants often overpay by starting too late or accepting “standard” language. This is especially common for medical and professional users who assume renewal terms are fixed. We help build leverage and negotiate both economics and lease terms.


Typical renewal improvements include:

  • Lower effective rent through structured concessions
  • Tenant improvement allowance or landlord funded refresh
  • Base year resets and operating expense protections
  • Renewal options and flexibility rights
  • Clear rent tables to eliminate ambiguity
     

Relocations and Expansions

If your current space no longer fits, we identify options that meet your operational needs and use market competition to secure favorable terms for office, medical office, and industrial users.


We handle:

  • Tour strategy and shortlisting
  • Proposal comparisons reflecting true economics
  • LOI drafting and negotiation
  • Work letter and buildout coordination
     

Purchase Negotiations

For tenants considering ownership, including medical practices seeking long term stability, we evaluate buy versus lease economics, identify suitable properties, and negotiate purchase terms aligned with your long term plan.

Office, Medical Office, and Industrial Focus

We work with:

  • Office users
  • Medical office and healthcare practices
  • Industrial and warehouse tenants
  • Professional service businesses
  • Multi market users with California footprints

What We Negotiate

 

Savings are not only about the rate. The largest long term costs are often hidden in expenses and lease language, particularly in medical office leases with unique buildout and operating requirements.


We routinely negotiate:

  • Operating expense structures with base year protections and audit rights
  • Caps on controllable expenses where possible
  • Tenant improvement allowances with clear work letter terms
  • Free rent and effective rate structure
  • Parking, signage, and use rights
  • Assignment and sublease protections
  • Renewal options and early termination flexibility when appropriate

Why Tenants Hire Shelton & Associates

  • Tenant only representation with no landlord conflicts
  • Focus on lowering total occupancy cost, not just rate
  • Negotiation experience across office, medical office, and industrial leases
  • Clear process from strategy through lease execution
     

In most leases, the landlord’s broker is paid by ownership and shares the commission with the tenant’s broker, allowing tenants to often obtain representation without a direct out of pocket fee.
