Tenant Representation
Access to Quality Representation
The bulk of the commercial real estate industry focuses on large-scale clients such as corporations, large businesses and institutions, and developers. Commercial brokers with lots of experience almost exclusively gravitate to these bigger clients, leaving junior agents with less experience and knowledge to help smaller clients. This is a problem we seek to solve. We believe small businesses are the lifeblood of our local economy and a stabilizing force for our neighborhoods. They bring character and energy to our community - and deserve the best representation.
Our Business Is Small Business
Small business owners, you are our people. We see you. We get you. We have your backs. You have transformed your expertise into something real that you’ve put into the world. You help our neighborhoods thrive, give us character, and directly contribute to the health of our communities.
But we know creating and running a small business is not easy. To be a small business owner, you have to be scrappy. You have to be a doer. You have to take risks and put your livelihood on the line. We understand that finding a space is often both professional and personal.
Markets are finicky, and Portland can be particularly tough. We can help. We’ll stay at your side throughout the process, guide you through the hoops, and keep you educated and informed along the way, so you can make the best decisions for your life and the success of your business.
We can help you with:
Start to finish process management
Understanding value based on market analysis
Analyzing the pros and cons of different neighborhoods and communities
Zoning, occupancy, building code, and city requirements, laws and policy
Long-term planning consultation
Assistance with financial planning, loan acquisition, and business plans
Negotiation and dealing with other real estate experts and brokers
Imagining and visioning space usage, building design, construction and architectural needs
Understanding lease terms and moving through the transaction process
Assistance with architects, consultants, inspectors, contractors, attorneys and other professionals
*If this is your first time leasing a space, know that professional representation costs you nothing. Brokers work on a commission, and that cost of a commission is already preloaded into the price set by building owners.
