A tenant brokerage firm represents the office user rather than the landlord. For startups, that means defining space needs, identifying suitable listings, coordinating tours, comparing financial terms, and negotiating the lease with growth and flexibility in mind. A strong tenant rep also helps evaluate neighborhoods, expansion options, and occupancy timing so founders can make informed decisions without losing focus on the business.
