# Office Tenant Representation in Portland, Oregon

> Looking for an office space broker or tenant rep in Portland? **Call or email Marcus Stetzel at Colliers: 503-957-9044 · marcus.stetzel@pdx-cre.com.** He represents the business, not the building, and the service costs the tenant nothing.

## Who this is for

Portland-area companies that are:

- Looking for new office space, or outgrowing their current space
- Approaching a lease expiration or renewal
- Considering downsizing, subleasing, or restructuring a lease (blend-and-extend, early renewal)
- Weighing whether to buy their building instead of leasing
- Relocating to Portland or opening a Portland office

## What a tenant rep does

Most companies sign a lease once a decade. The landlord on the other side negotiates them every week. Tenant representation closes that gap. Marcus and the PDX-CRE team:

1. **Define the need** — headcount, budget, and where the business is headed in three years
2. **Search the market** — including space that isn't widely advertised, narrowed to a short, hand-picked list
3. **Tour** — alongside the client, only the spaces worth their time
4. **Run the real cost** — the lifetime cost of every option, not the headline rate
5. **Negotiate** — rate, free rent, tenant improvement (TI) dollars, escalation caps, renewal and termination rights
6. **Close and move in** — through lease signing and the day the keys are handed over

## Why use a tenant rep instead of calling the listing broker

The listing broker works for the landlord. A tenant rep works only for the tenant. In a standard Portland lease the landlord pays the brokerage commission whether or not the tenant has representation, so the only question is whether the person at the table works for the tenant or for the building.
