Team Overview

Columbus Tenant Representation Specialists

Learn More

Central Ohio's only 100% office tenant representation team.

It’s really a simple question … Ask your broker: “Do you represent Landlords?” Think about it: Landlords hire Leasing Agents to increase Landlord profits. Tenants hire Tenant Reps to negotiate the best financial outcome/lowest cost for the Tenant. We are never beholden to Landlords because, simply put, we don’t want their business!

No Landlord listings. No favors owed or expected. No conflicts of interest. We are always on the tenant’s side, typically saving our clients greater than 14% of their lease cost.

From initial strategy and workplace needs discussions to the RFP process, space planning, construction pricing, furniture selection and lease negotiations, we’re with you every step of the way!

Client Testimonials

"I have worked with the Team of Paul Tingley and Kirk Smith of CBRE, representing the Tenant, in a number of relatively complicated lease transactions over the past years. I have found Paul and Kirk to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful to the client and me in the negotiation of the initial lease terms, assisting the client and me in the preparation and negotiation of the lease itself, and in the implementation of the lease, including any build-out and the delivery of the space. Their overall input makes my job much easier, and I know it is appreciated by the client."

Steve Elliott
BakerHostetler

"We could not have done it without you, you were instrumental in making this deal occur and we believe you will love how the new office looks."


Mark Kitrick
Kitrick, Lewis & Harris Co., LPA

"CBRE has not only been a great partner, but they’ve also been a wonderful extension of our team. Despite an incredibly competitive market compounded by our meticulously demanding vision, CBRE has helped navigate, negotiate, and secure a beautiful space that will forever be an instrumental part of our story. Aware and CBRE are truly, better together."

Jeff Schumann
Co-Founder & CEO, Aware

"It’s been great working with both Paul & Dave, as they have excellent local market knowledge, especially around specific lease terms, which has enabled us to secure what we have needed at great prices."

Joe Emison
Co-Founder & CTO, Branch Insurance
