Maris Advisors represents tenants and buyers exclusively — never landlords. That single commitment changes every conversation, every negotiation, and every outcome.
Across 26 property types — office, medical, lab, warehouse, cold storage, manufacturing, fabs, data centers, flex, retail, education, and more.
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 Advisors, 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.”
Maris Advisors works with full command of the market data any executive expects — availability, rates, comparables, absorption. But behind that sits a proprietary intelligence layer reading signals the industry’s shared databases don’t carry, built for exactly one side of the table.
And it changes what the comps mean: every brokerage can quote them. Treated as gospel, they become a ceiling — a list of concessions landlords have already conceded, presented as the limit of the possible. Maris Advisors treats them as a floor. The question is never “what did the market accept?” It is “what will this deal bear?”
What refusing the comps ceiling has produced, across a career of tenant-only advocacy:
Past results, each from its own negotiation and its own market. Conditions change and leverage varies — no number here is a promise. The constant is the approach: every deal pushed past what the comps called possible.
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.
→ We provide a complete market picture before you ever make an offerOperating expense clauses, CAM definitions, gross-up provisions, holdover penalties, HVAC standards, sublease restrictions — most leases contain dozens of landlord-favorable provisions tenants never scrutinize.
→ We analyze every clause before you sign and every CAM bill before you pay itStaying 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.
→ We model the true cost of both paths and tell you which one winsLandlords 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.
→ We audit your reconciliation and document what shouldn’t be there — line by lineA 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.
→ We research who really owns the building and who they owe — before negotiations beginCoordinating vendors, managing build-out timelines, updating 40+ government and vendor addresses, maintaining business continuity — office relocations routinely go sideways without professional oversight.
→ We keep the whole move on one timeline, lease signing through move-in dayCompanies guess from today’s headcount and pay for the error across the full lease term — too much space is sunk cost, too little forces an early exit.
→ We model your true space program before you tour a single buildingOwnership looks attractive until tax treatment, capital costs, and exit flexibility enter the math. The right answer is financial, not emotional.
→ We compare both paths on NPV, tax treatment, and total cost of occupancyArizona programs exist at state, county, and municipal layers — most tenants never screen for them before committing to a location.
→ We screen every candidate location against available programsThe right space in the wrong location fights your workforce every day — commute tolerance decides who applies and who stays.
→ We map your labor pool against every candidate buildingIn a purchase without your own representation, dual agency is legal, common, and expensive.
→ We represent buyers only — no dual agency, full transparencyFlood exposure, air quality, crime, permit history, walkability — the factors that shape daily operations rarely appear in a marketing flyer.
→ We score every building on more than 80 factors before you commitWe 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, the landlord’s recorded ownership and debt, competing tenant activity. Every option is thoroughly vetted before you spend time on a tour.
Leverage-based negotiation using real market data. Full business-terms review — every clause, every exhibit, every operating expense definition — so your counsel spends their hours on the law, not on finding the traps.
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.
On every transaction, Maris Advisors works with the landlord to reduce its own commission by 30%, and that value goes into your lease. Where it lands — rent, improvement allowance, free rent — is decided with you at the table. Nothing is paid back to you separately; the savings are written into the deal itself.
