Short definition

Commercial broker who exclusively represents the tenant.

Full definition

Paid out of the landlord's commission pool — effectively free to the tenant. Critical conflict-of-interest distinction: a tenant-only broker is structurally aligned with the tenant, unlike a dual-rep broker.

Why this matters for Class A leasing

Tenant representation 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.
