Commercial Property Buyer/Tenant Representation

ROCK Commercial Real Estate is here to assist you as a commercial buyer or tenant with comprehensive advice and representation. Our buyer and tenant representatives understand local markets, property inventory, trends and commercial real estate and can assist in identifying the ideal property for your business needs and goals.

How We Help

Our advisors work with fiduciary responsibility and confidentiality. This means we provide insights, advice and recommendations that are always in your business’s best interests. Partnering with the ROCK team allows you to continue to focus on your business during your commercial purchase or lease transaction.

Strategy Development

As your advisor, we collaborate with you to develop a sound strategy before beginning your search. We help you determine crucial factors, such as a suitable location for your business and the ideal amount of office space or square footage you need to meet current needs while supporting future growth.

Negotiation Strategy

There are countless ways to approach a negotiation, and how you do so will depend on your motivations, current market conditions and inventory, the property owner, your relationship (if any) with them and your bargaining power. With ROCK’s buyer and tenant representation services, your dedicated advisor works with you to help negotiate the best outcome for you.

Cost of Occupancy Analysis

The monthly mortgage or base rent cost is just one component you will be responsible for. Your business will also need to consider operating costs, maintenance costs, insurance and tax obligations, property management, utilities and other fees. ROCK works hard to help ensure our clients have a complete understanding of the potential costs associated with a commercial real estate purchase or lease.

Lease vs. Buy Analysis

Based on your goals, ROCK can help you evaluate whether a purchase or lease transaction works best for you. Our team provides in-depth lease-versus-buy analysis so you can proceed with confidence in a data-driven strategy.

Demographic & Market Analysis

Understanding the demographics and marketplace for any targeted location and the potential relationship for your products or services will be a crucial step in determining how successful a location may be for you. With ROCK as your partner, you have access to extensive in-house market research, data and knowledge without having to engage an outside vendor.

Build-to-Suit Planning

Build-to-suit planning offers companies the chance to create a property tailored to their precise needs. As part of our comprehensive representation services, we can help you determine whether this option is feasible.

Site Selection

If custom building is the best solution for your needs, ROCK can assist you in finding suitable location options. We will identify sites and consider their features and location, accessibility and traffic counts, demographics, cost considerations and more to help you locate the property that meets your budget goals and operational needs.

James Alexander, Director, Property Management

For the past several years ROCK Commercial had been managing one property for us in Pennsylvania and doing a wonderful job in all areas. We were so pleased that we added another three properties (1 in Pennsylvania and 2 in Maryland) earlier this year. We are very pleased with their attentiveness and timely replies in all matters. We would highly recommend ROCK Commercial Real Estate to others.

We couldn’t ask for anything more.

JaNeene Powell, Owner
Harwell Properties, LLC

ROCK has a special way of looking at the market. They are creative and intuitive. They made sure that all of their contacts were aware of the space we had available and how being in our location could help their business grow. They met with current tenants to see if their ideas could be used in leasing our spaces. ROCK had reports and maps and demographics outlined in such a way that far exceeded our expectations. Kevin Hodge kept us up to date on their efforts and gave feedback along the way.

Patricia LaStella, Property Management & Development

Damian Reed helped me find and purchase exactly what I was looking for and stayed on top of all my needs from start to finish. This will be the first of many for Damian and me.

The great thing with ROCK and dealing with Jason is that I know I am dealing with somebody who knows the market, and operates with pure professionalism and integrity. Also, Jason and the staff at ROCK are long tenured associates with many years of experience. For me there is no question Jason and ROCK are the only people I would trust and deal with my real estate transactions. Highly recommend.
