Who Needs Office Tenant Representation in NYC?
Who needs Office Tenant Representation in NYC
Many businesses outsource non-core functions like accounting, legal and payroll because they recognize the expertise and the time/money saved by using a third-party professional. Hiring Cogent as your broker is no different. As your office Tenant Representation Broker, Cogent’s mandate is to identify the optimal deal for you by utilizing in depth market information, transaction expertise and negotiation skills.
Cogent is a NO FEE agency. In commercial leases the Landlord pays the fee which is already built into the rent structure. Some Tenant’s mistakenly believe that by representing themselves this fee will be returned to them in the form of discounted rent. The reality is that the fee budgeted for a Tenant’s Broker is either kept by the Landlord or paid to the Owner’s Agent. Additionally, because we are immersed in the local market and have real-time knowledge, Cogent will identify a selection of quality spaces that satisfy your criteria and explore multiple deals simultaneously.
Renewing your lease? When a business negotiates a lease renewal without a Tenant Representation Broker, it signals to a Landlord that you do not plan to move and are unaware of competitive market offerings. By using a Broker the Landlord is put on notice that the Tenant is well informed an considering relocation. Only in this context will the Landlord make its best offer.
