Both tools are free. Both take under 2 minutes. Both get a local tenant-rep broker in your corner before you make a single call.
Here at TenantBase, we just launched two new tools to make it easier than ever for tenants to find office space and get expert representation — for free. You can now talk to our new TenantBase AI Chatbot and describe exactly what your business needs, or click through our quick selection quiz and answer a few simple questions. Either way, we connect you with a local tenant-rep broker who is briefed on your requirements before getting in touch. No cold calls. No guesswork. No cost to you.
Most businesses start their commercial office space search the same way — Google, a few listing portals, maybe a call to the number on a "For Lease" sign. What they find are listings that may be months out of date, landlord brokers with no obligation to get them the best deal, and a process that eats weeks before it gets anywhere useful.
The real problem isn't a shortage of listings. It's a shortage of representation. What's actually negotiable in your submarket right now, which landlords are motivated, what a competitive concession package looks like for your size and term — none of that lives on a listing page. It lives with a tenant-rep broker who has closed dozens of deals in your specific market and knows exactly what to ask for.
The landlord's broker is legally obligated to represent the landlord's interests — not yours. Representing both sides of the same transaction creates a dual agency situation where neither party is fully served. A dedicated tenant rep changes that dynamic entirely.
Getting to the right broker fast — without already knowing one — has always been the hard part. That's exactly what these two new tools solve.
We built two tools because different people work differently. Some think better in conversation. Others prefer clicking through clear options. Each takes about 2 minutes and delivers the same outcome: a local broker, matched to your exact market and requirements, ready to work exclusively for you.
Describe your office space needs in plain English. The AI asks intelligent follow-ups and builds your broker brief — naturally, in under 2 minutes.
Click through a short visual quiz covering location, space type, size, timeline, and budget. Clear options. No jargon. Done in 2 minutes.
The Tenant Profile Builder is a visual, click-through quiz built for businesses that want a clear, guided way to define what they're looking for. Each question is simple. The options are straightforward. There's no CRE jargon to decode and no form to fill out — just a handful of clicks that produce a summary precise enough for a broker to get to work.
It works whether you're a 4-person startup searching for your first commercial office space near you, or a 200-person company relocating into a market you've never operated in. The quiz builds something a listing platform never could: a profile specific enough that when your matched broker reaches out, you're starting at the part that matters.
The AI chatbot is built for the way most people naturally think about a space search — not through a checklist, but through conversation. Type something like "We need space for about 20 people, open floor plan, somewhere near downtown Austin, ready in 90 days" — and the AI takes it from there.
It asks the follow-up questions a great tenant rep would ask. Budget flexibility. Hard move-in dates. Must-haves versus preferences. Whether parking matters more than proximity to transit. It captures the details that will matter in a negotiation, not just the details that fit in a dropdown. The full intake happens in under two minutes.
What sets this apart from typing into a listing site is what happens at the end. The chatbot isn't returning search results. It's building a brief — one that feeds directly into TenantBase's matching engine to find the right broker for your specific market and requirements, not just the right zip code.
Both tools feed the same matching engine. Whether you chat or click, what comes out is a broker who has closed deals in your specific submarket — for businesses your size, for spaces like yours — and who reaches out prepared to help.
A tenant rep broker is a licensed commercial real estate professional who works exclusively on your behalf — not the landlord's. They source both listed and off-market options, create competition between landlords, and negotiate lease terms and concessions on your behalf. In most U.S. commercial transactions, the landlord pays the full brokerage commission at lease signing — including the tenant broker's fee — so dedicated expert representation costs the tenant nothing out of pocket.1
The right broker makes a bigger difference than most tenants expect. It's not just knowing which buildings are available. It's knowing what's actually negotiable in your submarket right now — which landlords are offering free rent periods, what tenant improvement allowances are running for your lease size and term, and how to structure an LOI that creates leverage before a lease is drafted. That knowledge lives with people, not platforms.2
"The cost of not having representation doesn't show up immediately. It shows up in concessions you didn't know to ask for, lease language that costs you at renewal, and build-out gaps you discover after signing. The broker match is free. Those mistakes aren't."
Two minutes. One match. A local broker prepared with what you need.
TenantBase holds a 4.9-star rating on Trustpilot across 939+ verified reviews. These are from businesses that started exactly where you are.
"When our nonprofit organization searched for a new office/medical space in State College, PA, I turned to TenantBase to find available properties. I was quickly matched with a commercial real estate advisor, Kate Wai, who contacted me to partner on the search. Because of our particular needs and budget, we knew it would be a challenge to find the perfect space, and after seven months of touring properties and negotiating with landlords, I am pleased to say that we signed a lease last month! Thanks to Kate's impressive negotiation skills, the landlord agreed to almost all the terms we requested, which could not have made us happier. Kate worked tirelessly on our behalf, including late hours and weekends, and her knowledge of the Centre County region and expertise were invaluable to us."
"Almost immediately I was working with David Sorenson, and he was fantastic. Our firm's office needs were a bit specialized due to our small size and our desired location. David arranged multiple site visits, accompanied me every time, and advocated in support of our firm 100%. He even alerted me to an almost ideal office he wasn't able to broker — proof he was looking out solely for our best interest. In the end, David found me a PERFECT little office and got the leaser to agree to a slightly lower rental amount. I was super impressed!"
"TenantBase is exceptional. They helped us get into exactly the space we wanted, even though it wasn't even listed on the open market. They were there with us every step of the way — tours, negotiations, all the way through to delivery of the keys late on a Friday night. We would not have our dream space if it weren't for these guys. Truly incredible and far beyond any expectations we had going into this process."
"TenantBase made the process of finding our new office space easy and seamless. They were responsive, knowledgeable, and made everything stress-free from start to finish. Highly recommend!"
"Cavan, Brady & Mike have been so incredible to work with. This platform has transformed our business. Thank you TenantBase!"
