TenantBase, the technology enabled office space brokerage firm built for tenants, has announced recent additions to the company's real estate team in Nashville to meet the needs of the growing market and demand for its services. Tad Wood was appointed as Principal of the Nashville market, overseeing all real estate activities, and Brents Herron was brought on as an Advisor to work directly with local businesses. Wood and Herron join Kailey Faber, Director and early hire at TenantBase, to round out the real estate team serving Nashville businesses.

"We are excited to add Brents and Tad to our existing team during this period of growth for the company," says Mike Zei, Co-Founder. "We have built technology to enhance the experience for a business trying to find and lease office space, but we firmly believe in the importance of dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professionals to advise and support in this process."

Wood will focus on ensuring the quality of the real estate advisory services provided by TenantBase to local businesses. "Tad provides the experience and local relationships to help get the most out of our Advisors and continue to evolve our work with tenants in Nashville," says Zei. Wood joins TenantBase after a seven-plus year role at Healthcare Realty Trust and work for Nashville based Horrell Company.

Serving as an Advisor, Herron is a key point of contact (along with Faber) for new businesses using TenantBase to find and lease office space in Nashville. "Brents and Kailey play a critical role for our growth by serving as the face of the company in Nashville as well as relaying customer feedback for software improvements," Zei says.

Following acceptance into EvoNexus, a technology incubator in Irvine, CA, TenantBase has planned expansion for the Orange County, CA market by the end of 2015 and has key software upgrades set to be completed on the same timeline.

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.
