Commercial tenant representative Jeff Tabor has an over three decade track record of success in commercial real estate representing tenants
The Jeff Tabor Group works solely for tenants. That means we can configure smarter deals and negotiate harder on behalf of our clients to get them their ideal office space deal.
How Do We Work?
“Most large brokerage firms won’t play hardball against landlords for their clients. They are juggling too many landlord transactions” says founder Jeff Tabor. “That's because they’re negotiating ten other deals on behalf of the landlord you’re going up against! Your landlord may very well be their biggest client.”
Jeff understands the need for a true tenant representative. He built his career working for the other side -- representing landlords.
In 1993, he recognized that commercial office tenants needed a champion – a true tenant representative. He founded Corporate Realty Advisors -- now the Jeff Tabor Group -- that very year, and since then has provided more value to his commercial office tenants than any traditional broker ever would or could.
Just ask his clients!
– Lisa Skylar, Chief Operating Officer
Be represented.
Not "brokered."
A commercial real estate broker often plays both sides of the fence – and has a fiduciary duty to make sure that he’s bringing in the most money to his firm – regardless of the interests of any one client.
At the Jeff Tabor Group we work solely for tenants, so there’s no conflict of interest. Jeff Tabor personally leads this team, and brings over 35 years of experience to the tenant’s side of the negotiating table.
Adding value every day, year after year.
We offer a comprehensive package of services that go above and beyond what the traditional one-dimensional,
transaction-only focused broker can do for you:
We find great office space.
Office space is the living, breathing soul of a company that closely mirrors its brand.
Open floor plans, historic buildings, polished floors, modern interior designs are just a few of the building accoutrements that JTG can help your company locate and negotiate.
From our five bases of operation, we’ve got Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and Long Beach covered. Our five locations are just down the street from professional, Class “A” commercial office space – from Pasadena to Thousand Oaks, from Downtown Los Angeles to Century City and Long Beach and from Orange County to San Diego.
Get below-market terms and save money.
You are busy. You've got a business to run. Commercial leases are complicated, containing dozens of pages and hundreds of terms.
Landlords include as many onerous terms they feel they can get away with. Landlords are counting on you not paying attention to the many dozens of “boiler plate” lease terms.
With an expert lease negotiator and renewal expert in your corner, you can win landlord concessions such as:
Gorgeous, tricked-out tenant improvements
Moving allowances paid for by the landlord
Discounted or free parking
Free rent (Ask us about it!)
Building sign rights - your name on the building
Favorable expansion and renewal options
No personal guarantees
Flexible lease termination rights
Extensive protections against landlord building operating expense pass throughs.
We provide hands-on care and pour over every single line of our clients' leases to ensure that they’re getting the best possible deal. No other Southern California real estate broker provides the detailed analysis and negotiating skills that you’ll experience with The Jeff Tabor Group.
We save you money by negotiating away unnecessary expenses.
Our clients avoid the extra operating expenses that pad your monthly bill.
Do you know the three costs that are stipulated in your lease? Chances are, they're
• rent
• paid parking
• building operating pass-throughs
(landscaping, taxes, management fees, maintenance, repairs, etc.)
Let's talk about that third expense.
In auditing your expenses, we frequently discover that tenants have been pre-billed and charged for expenses for which they should not be. These can include insurance, capital improvements and parking. Jeff Tabor Group clients don’t pay these extra costs...we make sure of it!
Armed with knowledge and a seasoned negotiator in the Jeff Tabor Group, you don't need to pay these extra line items and you can rest easy. We have your back each and every year of your lease term.
“You saved us over $300,000 during the first year alone on our renewal!
Your representation was far superior to what we experienced last time.”
