The Tenant Experience Today
Consumers have Yelp. Neighbors have Nextdoor. Employees have Glassdoor. But Retail Tenants, making one of the most consequential decisions of their lives, have had nothing online. Until Now.
Typically a 5-10 year lease commitment for hundreds of thousands of dollars, often with a personal guarantee. Limited experience, pressure to get a deal done, and no one to turn to for advice. For a first-time owner, this is often their one chance...
High rent, rising costs, changing customer trends, and daily operational issues. And then dismissed maintenance requests, roof leaks, crazy CAM charges, and poor Tenant retention leading to empty storefronts killing cross-traffic.
Heartless COVID treatment. Persistent HVAC problems. Lessons learned the hard way. Rent increases at renewal regardless of market conditions. Tax loopholes that reward empty spaces. No consequences for them, but no one to hear your story.
