How does TenantBase work?

TenantBase reverses the traditional commercial real estate model. Instead of spending weeks searching listings and contacting landlords, tenants share their requirements — location, size, budget, and timing — and TenantBase matches them with qualified local tenant-rep brokers and relevant market options.

What does a tenant-rep broker actually do?

Tenant-rep brokers provide market expertise, advocate exclusively for tenant interests, and manage the leasing process from start to finish — space selection, negotiations, and concessions — helping reduce risk and improve outcomes at no direct cost to the tenant in most U.S. markets.

What's the difference between a gross lease and a net lease?

In a gross lease, one all-in rent payment covers most building expenses. In a net lease, tenants pay base rent plus some combination of property taxes, insurance, and CAM charges on top. Those pass-throughs can add 30–100% above the face rate, so understanding the structure before you tour is critical.

Who are the Partner Broker Highlights?

Partner Broker Highlights feature trusted tenant-rep brokers in TenantBase's network — their background, market expertise, and approach to representing tenants. It's designed to help businesses find and vet the right local advisor before starting a search.

How does TenantBase help me find the right space for my business?

TenantBase combines technology with local tenant advisors to match searches based on headcount, growth plans, budget, and timing — streamlining discovery and helping teams lease space that fits their operational and financial goals.

Client Spotlight: Weiser Security

In 1970 Weiser Security was started by Earl A. Weiser in New Orleans, Louisiana. As a retired police Major with the City of New Orleans with a background in security and management, Weiser saw the unfair and underappreciated treatment of security officers and wanted to provide a better place to work and serve in the field. Through their efforts of respect and acknowledgement Weiser spread across the country. “Strong servicing of accounts led to referrals, which led us to new cities and brought us out West.” says Jeff Clark, Vice President of Sales. Weiser Security is now the 12th largest Security Company in the US with 26 offices in 14 states.

What separates Weiser from most security companies in their field is the training, scientific selection and management. With only 13% of applicants hired, Weiser is sure to employ only the most dependable and reliable. After hiring they put a high priority on not only taking care of their employees but they ensure they are managed well to fit their client's needs. “Our managers are rewarded by client interaction and feedback. This encourages them to put emphasis on the satisfaction of the site” Clark mentions.

Unlike their national competitors Weiser Security is family owned. Mickey Weiser, CPP the cordell davis-1.jpg grandson of founder Earl Weiser started working for the company in college. “Mickey Weiser has been on every front of the company so he really knows it well” said Clark. Mickey is the active President and CEO and you can see his kids starting to work at Weiser Security as well.

As the company has grown on the West Coast, the Orange County office specifically crossed paths with TenantBase as they were up on their lease and saw the need to move to a new space. Steve Kang, one of our advisors, got in touch with the local manager to start seeking out the right space. Accessibility was important to the group and after touring several spaces they were able to narrow it down to a 1600 SF space. Due to the functionality and the rate, it was a great fit for a new office.

“A few challenges presented itself through the lease negotiation process related to parking assignment, tenant improvements, and outside signage. Each one was resolved to my client's satisfaction as I was able to communicate our questions and wishes to the landlord representative” says Kang.

Weiser is set up in the new space as of this month and the accessibility for interviewing and working with their personnel is a huge plus to their new space. The functionality of the space is also key and has a great layout for what they need.
