What is the difference between a Leasing Agent and Tenant Representative?

* You will usually find the leasing agents name on the for lease sign out in front of a building. The tenant representative agent will be a bit harder to find because they won’t have for lease signs as they never represent the landlords.

* The leasing agents (or property managers) job is to get you to pay the most money per square foot as possible. The tenant representatives’ job is to negotiate on your behalf getting you the best rate and terms possible.

At Compass Commercial ITRA Global, we only represent tenant and buyers of commercial real estate. We believe it is a conflict of interest to represent both sides of a transaction. When you need someone on your side give us a call at 248 817-5400.
