Shawn Hall is a Senior Advisor with TenantBase in our Dallas Market. He joined the TenantBaseshawn-262251-edited-623817-edited.jpg team shortly after the start of the Dallas office in early 2017. Shawn grew up outside the Dallas/Fort Worth area in Allen, TX. His first job out of college was with a mortgage company but it didn’t take long for Shawn to be pulled further into the real estate market. A friend had a large amount of real estate and Shawn was given the opportunity to lease and manage the 250,000 square foot property. Shortly after, the properties went from 30 percent leased to 100 percent. After working with other brokerages in the area, Shawn connected with TenantBase as a tenant representation broker and saw a great opportunity to get involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
