Short definition

Broker who exclusively represents landlords.

Full definition

Markets vacant space, negotiates against tenant reps, and collects the leasing commission. Increasingly siloed from tenant-rep practice in major US firms to manage conflicts.

Why this matters for Class A leasing

Agency broker is part of the advisory vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across US markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks the US definition alongside the global standard so cross-border occupiers can translate quickly.
