Tenant & Buyer Representation | Oklahoma City Metro

Your Business Comes First. Your Real Estate Should Follow.

We represent business owners when they lease, buy, sublease, or sell their space.

Before you negotiate

Who is negotiating for you?

The broker who shows you a space usually works for the landlord. They can be honest, helpful, and good at their job. Their job is still to get the landlord the best deal.

If nobody at the table works for you, you are negotiating against a professional on your own. Most owners never see what that cost them, because nobody shows them the terms they could have had.

We sit on your side of the table.

The Real Question

What is your real estate costing your business?

Most owners don't call us because of a lease date. They call because something isn't working.

You're out of room, or paying for space you don't use
  • Where does the space limit you most: docks, parking, offices, warehouse, or layout?
  • Have you turned down work, delayed a hire, or rented overflow space because of it?
  • How long have you been working around the problem?
  • What do those workarounds cost you each month, including your team's time?
Your renewal is coming, and you can't tell if the offer is any good
  • When does your lease end, and when is your deadline to give notice?
  • Who told you the offer is market, and who pays them?
  • What has the landlord offered beyond the rate: free rent, improvements, or limits on your repair costs?
  • Have you compared it with another building, or with buying?
  • If you waited too long and had to take the landlord's terms, what would that cost you?
You keep wondering whether you should own instead of rent
  • How much rent will you pay over the next 10 years, and what will you own at the end of it?
  • Have you run the numbers with your banker or CPA, or is this still a hunch?
  • What would you need to see to feel confident buying?
  • Have you ever passed on a building because you didn't know how to evaluate it?
You've looked around, and nothing seems to fit
  • How long have you been looking, and what has it cost you to keep waiting?
  • Who has been showing you buildings, and who pays them?
  • Which of your requirements are truly non-negotiable?
  • Have you only seen what's listed, or also space that isn't on the market?

Who on your team is spending time on this instead of their actual job? What happens if nothing changes in the next two years?

If those answers don't bother you, you probably don't need us. If they do, let's talk.

Tom is the best. I've used him for years. He helped negotiate a fantastic lease rate for my last office. He worked with my team for a year and a half to find the perfect building and helped us negotiate a price that makes me smile every time I pull in the parking lot.

Office lease, repeat client

Tom is very thorough and left no stone unturned helping us find a new home for our 40 person architectural practice. During our search we looked at many workable options around the city, some that were never on the market...

40-person architecture firm relocation

Tom was very helpful across many commercial real estate topics. As a small business owner he helped tremendously on identifying spaces for lease. He had a deep knowledge of the market and knew the right people to talk to. He also, was very helpful for exploring purchase and commercial build locations. Thanks Tom!
