Everything you need to know about tenant representation and commercial real estate in DFW.
Tenant representation is when a licensed real estate broker works exclusively on behalf of a tenant to help them find, negotiate, and secure commercial space. In Texas and most states, landlords pay real estate commissions as part of their deal structure — typically 4-6% of the total lease value. As a tenant representative, Devin represents your interests to the landlord's broker and shares in that commission. This means you get expert professional advocacy at zero cost to you. The landlord is paying the fee regardless of whether you have representation or not, so it makes sense to have someone in your corner fighting for your interests.
Commercial real estate costs vary widely depending on location, building class, and market conditions. In DFW, Class A office space typically ranges from $18-28/SF annually (triple net), medical office and life sciences space can run $16-32/SF annually, and industrial/flex space ranges from $6-14/SF annually depending on the building and improvements. Lease terms are usually 3-10 years with escalations built in. The best way to know pricing for your specific needs is to get on the market and start looking — that's where Devin's expertise becomes invaluable. He'll show you comparable deals, help you understand true occupancy costs, and negotiate the best possible terms.
Devin specializes in tenant representation across four primary sectors: Office Space (Class A/B buildings, executive suites, professional parks, stand-alone buildings), Medical Office (medical office buildings, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, specialty practice space), Biotech & Life Sciences (lab space, R&D facilities, clean rooms, GMP environments), and Industrial & Flex (warehouse, distribution, flex space, light industrial, and manufacturing facilities). He handles lease transactions, purchase transactions, renewal strategies, build-out coordination, and lease amendment negotiations. Whether you need 500 SF or 500,000 SF, he brings the same level of expertise and advocacy.
SIOR stands for 'Society of Industrial & Office Realtors' and is the most prestigious designation in commercial real estate brokerage.

NNN (triple net) leases are common in commercial real estate where the tenant pays base rent plus their pro-rata share of property taxes, insurance, and CAM (common area maintenance) charges. This means your occupancy cost can fluctuate year to year. Full-service gross leases, by contrast, include most operating expenses in the rental rate, giving you more cost predictability. Both structures have pros and cons depending on your situation. Devin analyzes the true occupancy cost of both structures and helps you negotiate the lease type and terms that best fit your needs and budget.
