Get and Sign Lease Proposal Form

I agree with the other answers, but l'm going to try to dig a little deeper.  In Manhattan, standard practice is that the broker representing the tenant gets "one full commission," which equates to roughly 19% of the first year's rent on a 5 year deal.  The landlord's agent gets "one half of a commission" which equates to roughly 9.5% of the first year's rent on a 5 year deal.  In the event that the tenant is not represented, the landlord's agent gets "one full commission." This means that the landlord saves 1/3 of the total commission paid if the tenant is not represented (in many if not most markets the landlord's agent gets all of the commission in the deal if there is no tenant rep broker, but for the sake of argument, I'm assuming there is some savings to the landlord).  To make this example realistic, let's suppose that this is a 5,000 sf deal at $40 per sf per year.  In this case, the landlord would save approximately $19,000 in commissions.  Let's assume that you know this, and you can convince the landlord to pass this savings on to you.  In real terms, this equates to a savings of 76 cents per sf per year.  So, now the question is, can a broker save you 76 cents or more per year?  Let's play with a couple of deal terms to find out. Electricity: Landlord tells you that the going rate is $3.50 per sf for electricity.  Broker negotiates metered electricity instead - savings of $.50 per sf.  OpEx Escalations: Landlord tells you that a standard rent escalation is 3.5% per annum.  Broker negotiates 2.5% per annum - average savings per year = $.85.These are just two of the many elements of a deal, and the broker has already justified nearly double his/her commission.The fact of the matter is, that a tenant simply is not aware of the market driven standards for the countless elements of a complicated commercial lease.  Even if you could find the right space, with a good landlord, in a good location and could determine what the correct rent should be (all highly unlikely), there are so many elements at play that signNowly impact your total expenses.  A qualified broker is a no brainer.

Pulling Back the Kimono on Real Estate Brokerage CommissionsQ. If a commercial landlord pays the brokerage fees, isn’t this a conflict-of-interest for a tenant’s broker (and is the tenant going to get “screwed”)?A.

If you want the job done properly then you need to be prepared to pay the agent a fee. Such fee would be calculated on the amount of time required to prepare the documentation.Some leases are straight forward and relatively easy to do whilst others are quite complicated. In Australia leases for industrial sheds are generally uncomplicated however leases under the Retail Shops Act can be a nightmare.So my advice is to find an experienced agent and simply ask him or her what the fee is likely to be for the job you have in mind. Be prepared for a barrage of questions such as lease term and options proposed, type of annual increases, and who pays what in respect of outgoings.Hope the above is helpful.
