One of the interesting parts of my job is touring various buildings with my clients and seeing how the various landlord leasing agents represent their buildings. Everyone has a unique approach and I have found that many times a tenant is influenced both positively and negatively by the personality and approach of the leasing agent.
I'm On Your Side
A key reason to use a tenant rep broker like me is to have an advocate on your side of the table who acts as a knowledgeable buffer between you and the leasing agent. Sometimes the leasing agent is so charming and nice, a tenant doesn’t realize that they are getting an awful deal. Other times the leasing agent is difficult and I act as the calm go-between to keep the deal moving forward. Many times I provide the background or reasons that explain a landlord’s baffling behavior. Other times I catch problems before they become a crisis.
Your landlord negotiates leases every day but you only deal with your lease once every five years or so. Who do you think has the upperhand when you begin discussing your renewal? Wouldn’t it be great to have someone in your corner that has negotiated just as many leases as your landlord? Let me level the playing field for you – call me for a free consultation.
