Why Tenant Rep Services?
Advocate Commercial Real Estate, LLC was founded to promote the interests of Office and Office/Warehouse Tenants and Buyers in Metropolitan Atlanta’s office market. The many issues answered by the service we provide are rooted in Two Basic Problems for the Office Tenant:
- Basic Problem #1: The necessary tasks are outside your firm’s operational focus.
Though office rent is usually a substantial portion of a company’s expenses, and office space is an integral part of the business itself, Office Tenants are rightfully preoccupied with their own operations and don’t have or cannot devote the company’s time and resources to go about this process of carefully assessing their alternatives.
SOLUTION: Our Time becomes Your Resource. Leverage your time, effort and other resources by delegating this time-consuming process to Advocate Commercial as your “Real Estate Department”. Our objective here is to eliminate your wasted time in varying stages of the process, while involving you in the important areas that require your control and decision-making.
- Basic Problem #2: The necessary expertise and market knowledge are outside your firm’s field of endeavor on which you have focused to be successful.
Even if office users did have the time to tackle this project themselves, do they really have the in-house expertise to efficiently find the best space, and then most effectively negotiate for it?
Property owners hire professional representation to lease their buildings, and their job is to sign leases that are most advantageous to the Owners. These representatives are in the market every day, whereas Office Tenants are typically only exposed to the office market and this process every three to five years.
SOLUTION: Our Expertise becomes Your Resource. Level the playing field by leveraging your own expertise. Negotiate and make real estate decisions in the more familiar light of easily comparable projected cash flows translated from proposals submitted by your prospective landlords. Our objective here is to clearly define and compare your choices against each other, and market conditions in general.
