I really don't tell any one on how much commission am I getting. I think it's non of their business anymore. Minnesota Real Estate Continuing Education

Comment on Do Tenants Really Need Brokers When Negotiating Lease Renewals? by George P Wilson

George P Wilson — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 20:31:55 +0000

As a landlord representative, I think all parties in a lease renewal episode should be represented by an experienced and knowledgeable advocate. Issues arise in deals when the “advocate” on either side tries to steer
the deal in the wrong direction for motives other than purley dollars and cents. Also, whithout the full disclsoure by both parties at the start of a negotiation of its deal priorities/end game goals, the best conclsuion of a renewal negotiation for both parties will be elusive. Tenant reps should not assume that landlord’s do not know how many alternative locations are available for their exiting tenants. Landlord reps should not assume that tenants have not calculated the costs to move to another location that is just as affordable (if not more affordable) AFTER it incurs the moving costs. Each party needs to be forhtright about its goals at the beginning of the transaction for it to be mutually successful at deal’s end.

Agreed. Wouldn’t this commission discussion be easier if we were paid by the party that we worked for?

Kevin:

Thanks for writing – in! You’re absolutely correct about tying non-disturbance agreements to tenants paying for their own construction. You obviously know your business!

Continued success!

Andrew, excellent points, great article. Specifically, the thought surrounding the non-disturbance lease clause that may protect your interests in the leasehold. I would recommend that clause be inserted when the tenant has come out of pocket for substantial tenant improvements and build-out.

I fully agree with you. I have set standards for myself and two of the most important are that I will not take abuse from a buyer or seller regardless of the future income potential and I will not do business with anyone who does not live by their word or written agreement.
