Tenant Representation
Expert guidance to help your business secure the right space at the right terms. AJA Realty advocates exclusively for tenants—protecting your interests from search to signed lease.
What Is Tenant Representation?
Tenant Representation is a commercial real estate service where a broker works solely on behalf of the tenant.
At AJA Realty, we help businesses find the right space, analyze financials, and negotiate the strongest lease terms possible. Our role is to make sure you never overpay, never sign terms that create long-term risk, and always have a professional advocating for your business needs.
Retailers (restaurants, boutiques, salons, service businesses)
Office tenants (startups, medical, tech, professional services)
Industrial users (warehouse, flex, manufacturing)
Growing companies needing more space

Why Businesses Need a Tenant Rep
Commercial leases are complex and heavily favor landlords. Without representation, tenants often face:
Higher rent or hidden NNN expenses
Unfavorable or restrictive lease terms
Little or no tenant improvement (TI) allowance
Limited negotiation power
Difficulty comparing locations and total occupancy cost
Unexpected expenses during build-out
Long-term obligations with no exit flexibility
Your business deserves an advocate who understands the market, the contracts, and the negotiation process.
We ensure that your interests come first.

FAQs
How much does tenant representation cost?
Typically nothing for the tenant. The landlord or listing broker pays the commission.
Can you help even if I already found a space online?
Yes. We can take over negotiating and structuring your deal to ensure you get the strongest terms.
Do you help with renewals or renegotiations?
Yes. Many tenants overpay when they renew without representation.
