For most businesses, the choice of location is one of the most important decisions. Office space is among the top three cost items for companies…it can define a business’s image, help determine its client base, and has a large impact on employees. The process of searching for and acquiring space is often challenging, risky, and uncertain. D & C’s tenant representative service helps to guide tenants through this process, providing them with the skill and expertise of real estate professional who is experienced in all aspects of leasing. Even if renewing your firm’s lease at the existing location is a viable option, having a tenant rep will insure that your relationship with your Landlord will be preserved, will let him know that you have full access to the market and will look elsewhere, if need be and most important save you valuable time and money. Most times, your Landlord is represented by a real estate agent-even the playing field by having your own representation.

Our firm’s lease had expired, we needed to expand our office space, which hadn’t been updated since the 1980’s. After we toured alternative locations with D & C, they negotiated with our existing Landlord…the end result: We had an entire new floor rebuilt for us, our rent was reduced significantly, our utility and escalation billings lowered, and our Landlord paid D & C’s commission. D & C exceeded our expectations.
