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. ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : "https://blog.tenantbase.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Navy%20(500%20png)-1.png", "name" : "TenantBase", "sameAs" : [ "https://www.linkedin.com/company/tenantbase/", "https://twitter.com/tenantbase", "https://www.facebook.com/TenantBase", "https://www.youtube.com/@tenantbase" ], "url" : "https://www.tenantbase.com/" } ``` ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "WebSite", "description" : "Commercial real estate insights, broker spotlights, and market signals — built for tenants and the teams that represent them.", "name" : "TenantBase Blog", "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "TenantBase", "url" : "https://www.tenantbase.com/" }, "url" : "https://blog.tenantbase.com/" } ``` ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "FAQPage", "mainEntity" : [ { "@type" : "Question", "acceptedAnswer" : { "@type" : "Answer", "text" : "TenantBase reverses the traditional commercial real estate model.
