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.

Santa Monica, CA June 23, 2020 - TenantBase, a tech-enabled commercial real estate company, announced it was named as a “Forbes Best Startup Employers 2020” winner. Companies were selected based on an innovative methodology evaluating Employee Satisfaction, Employer Reputation and Company Growth.

“We are honored to be selected as a Forbes Best Startup Employer and the award validates many of the goals we set when starting the company. Our incredible growth over the last few years was a result of the amazing team we have assembled and the culture that was created,” said Bennett Washabaugh, TenantBase co-founder and CEO. “Since there was no application process, it was a surprise and tremendous honor when we learned we were selected from more than 10,000 companies based on empirical data.”

America’s Best Startup Employers were selected based on employer excellence in three ways:

Employer Reputation that reviewed company specific information algorithmically extracted from social media channels such as news sites, blogs and social networks.
Company Growth that measured Website Traffic, Headcount Growth Rates, and Industry-Referenced Job Openings.

“When I started 5 years ago, TenantBase was still fully developing the business model of technology-enabled brokerage. It’s been an amazing experience to grow our Orange County office and help expand the business model mature into 11 markets and more than 150 people. As the company has expanded we’ve been able to keep our core values and culture,” said Max Morris, Market Lead for the Orange County office.
