Tenant representation for businesses who can't afford to learn lease negotiation the hard way. I work for you — never the landlord — so every term in the deal serves your business, not the building.
Tenant rep isn't a transaction — it's a relationship that starts before the search and continues long after the keys change hands.
We start with the business — your unit economics, customer profile, growth plan. Real estate decisions follow strategy, not the other way around.
Market analysis, demographic targeting, off-market sourcing. I bring you spaces that fit — not every listing in the MLS.
LOI through executed lease. Rent, TI, free rent, options, exclusives, personal guarantees — every clause defended, every concession captured.
Build-out coordination, GC sourcing, press release support to drive opening traffic. I stay with you through doors-open day.
Most brokers find the space and disappear. I take you from concept to opening day — and back again at renewal.
Demographic modeling, traffic counts, co-tenancy analysis, and competitive mapping to identify the right corner — not just an available one.
Term sheets, LOIs, full lease redlines. Base rent, escalations, CAM caps, TI dollars, free rent, kick-out clauses — line by line.
Negotiating tenant improvement allowances, work letters, and delivery condition standards that protect your build-out budget.
A trusted GC in my rolodex for tenants who need build-out support. Vetted, responsive, and used to working under tight retail timelines.
Comparable lease data, vacancy trends, submarket pricing — so you know what's fair before you sign anything.
I have direct relationships with reporters at Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal and Twin Cities Business. Your opening becomes news, not just a soft launch.
Two years out, we start preparing your renewal leverage. The best lease is one your landlord competes to keep.
When the lease no longer fits, I help you assign, sublease, or buy out — without leaving money on the table.
Already proven? I help concepts scale to second, third, and tenth locations across MN and into new markets.
From first locations to multi-state rollouts.
Two minutes of texting beats two months of looking in the wrong direction.
