About

Tenant Consulting LLC is known as the tenant team to assist organizations with complicated and sometimes seemingly impossible real estate issues.


Tenant Consulting LLC was created in 2002 to address a client’s (the American Council of Life Insurers) concern about “tenant representation” firms representing two different tenants negotiating for the same block(s) of space in the same market. Tenant Consulting was created to insure its tenant brokerage services would be free of not only landlord conflicts, but also the conflicts of tenant only brokerage firms representing two tenants in the same market competing form the finite pool of concessions from the same landlords.

We focus on turning each client’s lease/real estate needs into an asset that supports their overall business plan and mission. Tenant Consulting is known throughout the Washington, DC, market and nationally as the tenant team to assist organizations with complicated and sometimes seemingly impossible real estate issues.

Tenant Consulting is the only licensed vendor able to administer the Internationally Patent Pending StepDown Lease™ Method to corporations and nonprofits, which reduces their annual operating rent costs by +/- 25% each and every year of their existing and or new lease term. Tenant Consulting is the only licensed vendor able to administer LawTriums™, which reduce law firms’ annual operating costs by 30% to 60% annually.

"We were extremely satisfied with the high level of representation and professionalism from our broker. Their advice has given us the flexibility we need to better execute our business plan. I can’t imagine a better real estate team of advisors."
