Tenant Representation

tenant Representation

Representing tenants in the dynamic Washington DC-area market means more than finding space at the best price. Rather, it means understanding what is best and appropriate for each client, tailoring a strategic space search to meet every requirement, and negotiating a transaction that serves a client’s long-term financial and operating concerns. Our focus on strategic, tenant-centric thinking, coupled with an all-purpose skill set, and commitment to client service is what separates Donohoe Commercial Real Estate from other firms and delivers the positive outcome tenants demand.

DCRE agents are uniquely qualified to deliver this superior level of client service. Served by technology, backed by market research and financial analysis, and benefiting from a respected, long-term industry presence, the DCRE team of professionals are well-prepared to achieve success for tenant clients. Once a new space is secured our clients will further benefit from The Donohoe Companies corporate alliances in related fields of architecture, legal representation, tenant build-out, and moving services.
