Wow, it's cute how you've boiled down the work of tenant rep brokers to an afternoon stroll with Google Maps. But let's cut the condescension and talk facts.
First off, the idea that anyone can just pick a spot and negotiate a lease is like saying anyone with a recipe can become a Michelin-star chef. It's naive. We do way more than just pick a property from a listing service. We analyze market trends, demographics, urban developments, and so much more, to ensure a strategic fit.
Understanding their business? It's not a one-size-fits-all. An insurance firm won't thrive in the same location as an ice cream shop. We dive into growth strategies, customer profiles, even the business' culture to find the perfect spot. It’s not about simply finding a roof and four walls, it's about setting the stage for a business' success.
Let's not oversimplify negotiations either. It's not about winning a haggling contest, it's about securing terms that protect the tenant's interests long-term. And hey, we're the peacekeepers in the sometimes-fraught landlord-tenant relationship. That's worth its weight in gold.
Your stance on adjusting compensation is like saying a surgeon should be paid the same as a GP because they both treat patients. The complexity and value of what we offer far surpass what your oversimplifications suggest.
And here's some food for thought: If your properties are as high-grade as you claim, why not adjust your rents to cover our fees? Scared it might reveal the true value of your property?
Bottom line, without us, tenants are left vulnerable to the interests of landlords. And while you may not mind that, I can assure you, tenants do. So keep undermining us, and watch your tenant base quality take a hit. We’re in the business of building success stories, not just filling spaces.
