Tenant Representation

Tenant representation means having a commercial real estate broker work for you, the tenant, instead of for the landlord. At Fred's Properties Group, we focus on the needs of tenants. We learn what your business requires, use our knowledge of the Northern Virginia commercial market to match you with the right space, and work to get you the best value in the shortest practical time.

Tenant representation services in Northern Virginia

Our tenant representation services cover the full path from first conversation to signed lease:

• Requirements review. We start by understanding your size, budget, location, timeline, and use.
• Market search. We search available space in your target area, drawing on our market access, including CoStar.
• Building comparisons. We compare properties in the same area so you can see how costs and features stack up.
• Market and economic research. We can look at conditions in an area before you decide to move there.
• Site recommendations. Every location has its own strengths and drawbacks, and we give you an honest overview of each.
• Tours and negotiation. We arrange tours and negotiate lease terms on your behalf.

Who we represent

We work with businesses of many kinds and sizes: a single-location shop, a company with several sites, a growing office, or a church or nonprofit looking for a home. Fred has more than 30 years of business experience, and we apply it to every search.

What we help you negotiate

A lease involves more than monthly rent. We help you look at:

• Improvement allowances and who pays for build-out
• Expansion space, if your business may grow
• Lease rate, term length, and renewal options
• Parking and access for customers and employees
• Operating expenses that may be charged on top of rent

Property types and areas

We can help you lease office space, retail space, warehouses, industrial properties, and churches. To see space currently available, visit properties for lease. If you own property and need a broker for the other side of the table, see landlord representation.

Frequently asked questions

What is a tenant representative?

A tenant representative is a broker who works for the tenant. We search, compare, tour, and negotiate to protect your interests.

Why use a tenant representative instead of contacting landlords directly?

A broker on your side gives you market knowledge, saves search time, and helps you negotiate terms from an informed position.

Does it cost me more to use a broker?
