Maris Advisors represents tenants and buyers exclusively — never landlords. That single commitment changes every conversation, every negotiation, and every outcome.
Most companies approach real estate reactively — lease expiration is coming and suddenly they’re negotiating under time pressure with a landlord who does this every day. We change that dynamic entirely.
Landlords price space based on what they can get. Without real-time market intelligence — absorption data, competing availabilities, landlord vacancy exposure — you’re negotiating blind.
Operating expense clauses, CAM definitions, gross-up provisions, holdover penalties, HVAC standards, sublease restrictions — most leases contain dozens of landlord-favorable provisions tenants never scrutinize.
Staying is easier. Moving is expensive. But staying in the wrong space at above-market rent is more expensive than either. The right answer requires a full financial analysis, not a gut feel.
Landlords regularly include capital improvements, excluded costs, and above-market management fees in CAM reconciliations. Most tenants pay without question. The overcharges are real and recoverable.
A landlord showing strength at the table may be facing loan maturity, rising vacancy, or distressed debt behind the scenes. That context changes everything about how hard you can push.
Coordinating vendors, managing build-out timelines, updating 40+ government and vendor addresses, maintaining business continuity — office relocations routinely go sideways without professional oversight.
Most commercial real estate firms represent both landlords and tenants — sometimes in the same building, sometimes in the same transaction. That’s a conflict of interest that is legal, common, and almost never disclosed clearly.
Maris Advisors was founded on a single principle: the tenant’s interests come first, last, and always. That’s not a marketing position. It’s a structural commitment built into every engagement we take.
“We had worked with a full-service firm for years and assumed they were representing our interests. When we switched to Maris, we discovered our previous broker had also been representing the landlord of our building. The difference in how hard someone fights for you is profound.”
We start by understanding your business — not just your square footage. Headcount, growth trajectory, culture, work model, location priorities, deal parameters. We build a precise space program before we ever show you a building.
Comprehensive submarket analysis, building-level research on every candidate, landlord financial position, competing tenant activity. Every option is thoroughly vetted before you spend time on a tour.
Leverage-based negotiation using real market data. Full lease analysis against Arizona law and industry standards — every clause, every exhibit, every operating expense definition reviewed before you sign.
Move coordination, CAM reconciliation review, renewal planning — we stay engaged well past move-in day. Annual operating expense audits catch overcharges before they compound over the lease term.
A minimum of 30% of Maris Advisors’ net fees is returned at client discretion — applied toward deal costs or donated to a 501(c)(3) of your choice, in your company’s name. Children’s hospitals, food banks, veterans organizations, education funds, animal rescue. The decision is yours.
