It won't cost you a dime to work with us.
The landlord pays our fee and it isn't added to your lease.* Before you
sign the lease, we'll show you exactly what we collect from the landlord.
You'll know every penny we saved you, and better yet, you'll know
it didn't cost you anything. There are no hidden costs or fees.
We know where a landlord can give you a price break, and when they'll
grant concessions or extras. For instance, if the amount you'll pay per
square foot isn't negotiable, we find other ways for you to save –
like a few months of free rent, discounts on furniture and art, or low or no-cost
build-outs – not to mention saving you valuable time.
Best of all, we'll get landlords fighting over you. Imagine what you'll
save if you have three buildings bidding to have you as a tenant!
*On rare occasions, a landlord may refuse to cooperate with us. In fact, the
landlord doesn't want you to talk to us... let me explain. Landlords plan on
paying a 3%-6% fee to lease their property. If there's a brokerage sign out
front, the landlord has already agreed to pay a 6% fee, regardless of whether
you have an agent or not.
Most of the time this commission is paid to the agent the landlord has chosen
to protect the landlord's interests. They aren't concerned about
what's best for you – they're trying to make profits
for the landlord. In fact, that's their job. The landlord doesn't
want you to have representation because the landlord knows that a tenant's
agent will dip into other profit centers most tenants don't know about.
(This will cost the landlord money and save the tenant a grundle of cash.)
Most tenants think that not having an agent will save them money. That just
isn't the case. The landlord has already committed to pay their agent
a fee. It's already a part of the transaction. When you have an agent,
that fee is split between the landlord's agent and your agent. Otherwise,
100% of the fee will be paid to the landlord's agent. (Don't reward
the landlord's agent for making a better deal for the landlord than for
you.) Make certain you have someone on your side, protecting your interests
and negotiating on your behalf.
Because we work with landlords all over the valley, we know where they can
give a little in either rent concessions or extras that will end up saving you
money. We regularly save our clients between 3 and 10 times what we earn in
commissions. Don't fall for the landlord's scare tactics when they
tell you it will cost you more. It won't.
Even if you pay our commission, I guarantee you'll save far more money
than we'll charge. Let us show you how.
