Share Retail Tenants Together with your prospects and they arrive knowing what they need — and what a lease really costs. Then use the same tools to find sites, brief clients on key lease issues, and stay useful long after the deal closes.
Free for you and free for your clients. No card required.
First-time and independent retailers come to you with big plans and little lease experience. Before you can talk strategy, you're explaining NNN versus gross, what CAM covers, why a personal guarantee matters, and what a fair TI allowance looks like. Often on the same call, and more than once.
Those conversations matter, but they're hard to scale, and a client who doesn't understand the deal is slower to commit and quicker to second-guess.
Retail Tenants Together does the teaching for you. You spend your time on the parts only you can do: the market, the deal, and the relationship.
Send it early in the relationship. Your clients get a free advisor and a peer community, and you get a client who's ready to move.
ARI explains lease terms in plain English. The Daily Tip, community forum and Center Reviews fill in the rest.
Setting up a Site Finder search makes them decide on size, budget, area and must-haves before your first tour.
They show up with realistic expectations and good questions, so meetings move to LOI instead of starting over.
After move-in, ARI keeps checking their statements and tracks their renewal date. When the option window opens, they call the broker who got them started.
Each tool on Retail Tenants Together does two jobs: it educates your client and it makes your own work faster.
Plain-English answers any time on CAM, NNN, TI, guarantees, build-out costs, and running a store.
Fewer after-hours basics calls. Ask ARI yourself to draft client emails, explain a clause, or pressure-test a pitch.
Upload a draft lease and get a list of the key issues to walk your client through, plus draft counter-proposal language for the landlord.
After signing, ARI checks their CAM, rent and tax statements against the lease and tracks every critical date, including the renewal.
Describe a client's requirement in plain English. ARI searches lease and sublease listings every night and emails you new matches, so you spend less time on routine searching.
Running their own search shows them what's actually available at their budget, and they can send you the listings they like.
Weekly trade-area updates: peer openings and closings, co-tenant move-ins and move-outs, new development, local events and demographic shifts. Useful for site-selection conversations and tour prep.
They understand the trade area before they commit, and they keep getting updates after they open.
Anonymous reviews from current and former tenants: how management responds, how CAM is handled, what foot traffic is really like. Diligence that isn't in any listing.
They check a center themselves before signing, so the recommendation you make is one they already trust.
Browse lease and sublease listings, including space posted directly by tenants that may not appear on the usual sites.
A place to post space they need to give back, such as a sublease or a store they've outgrown, for free.
Other retailers in the same center, neighborhood or industry. They share experiences and answer questions, anonymously if they prefer.
See what tenants in your market are actually worried about, and use it to anticipate objections.
List your brokerage where retailers look for help. The directory has a Brokerage category.
Attorneys, contractors, signage, POS, insurance and more for the build-out, so they aren't calling you for every referral.
When the landlord's draft comes back, upload it. ARI reads the whole document and gives you a prioritized list of the issues worth raising, written plainly enough to forward to your client.
ARI does the first read; the judgment is still yours. It isn't a lawyer, so for legal questions your client should still consult an attorney.
Ask for a 5% annual cap on controllable expenses, non-cumulative.
Propose the guarantee drop off after 24 months with no default.
Above what's typical. Counter at 10%, excluding taxes and insurance.
Add the right to audit CAM reconciliations within 12 months.
Retail Tenants Together was built by a tenant, for tenants. We don't represent landlords, and we don't sit in the middle of your deals.
An informed tenant makes decisions faster, trusts good advice, and signs a lease they can live with. That's a better client for you and a better outcome for them.
Every tenant who joins makes the community more useful: more center reviews, more answered questions, and a clearer picture of what's normal in each market. The brokers who send clients here help build that.
Community posts can be anonymous, and lease documents stay private to the account that uploaded them. We never show a tenant's name, suite, or numbers to anyone else.
