Unbiased representation helps drive greater value

Are you negotiating on a level playing field?

Often real estate firms that claim to offer tenant represtation also represent landlords and developers. We choose to represent only you, the tenant, and never the landlord. This exclusive relationship allows us to be totally independent, solely advocating on your behalf.

Our approach to tenant representation includes identifying all viable options for you and invites competition, thereby leveraging your position and minimizing costs. Best of all, our fee typically is paid by the landlord. Therefore, you get unbiased commercial tenant representation and it costs you nothing more.

Real estate is a long-term asset class. It is highly particular and more capital-intensive than many other corporate asset types. As the pace of business accelerates, companies require increased sophistication to plan and forecast rapidly changing space needs. Without this sophistication, corporations eventually experience a mismatch between the supply and demand (business needs) of real estate. Add these mismatches up across multiple transactions and you see lost opportunity to increase your bottom line.

Our portfolio management team assesses all aspects of your corporate real estate portfolio. We will identify inefficiencies and cost-reduction opportunities.

By proactively managing your portfolio, Plante Moran CRESA helps reduce your fixed real estate costs. This means you can better utilize your capital to grow your business.
